The Glory Of A Martial Art Style Rest Upon The Master's Shoulder

My friend recently gives an interesting remark while we are having discussion about different martial arts styles and which one is better. 

He said, "Whatever it is, I strongly believe that the glory of a style depends largely on its maters. If they are any good, the style sure to follow suit."

I believe he got that idea from a recent forum which he visited.

On my way home, I give what he said a serious thought and I find myself tend to nod in agreement. 

I reflect at many styles which I have learn all these years and, of course, all the masters are not well-known throughout the martial art cycle. 

I believe it has become their little secret code of conduct and it is just the way they want to retain secrecy.

But that is totally different from, say, Jigoro Kano of Judo, Ip Man of Wing Chun or Morehei Uyeshiba of Aikido. They want to spread their styles because they believe only good will come out from doing so.

 

They live up to the challenge and due to that, not only they become well-known, their styles are also well accepted throughout the world.

Does that makes them become less than what they are? 

On the contrary...

So why my masters are not that keen to spread their styles? 

Are they afraid they will become less from sharing? 

Are they not confident that they can handle the pressure and responsibility? 

Are they willing to see their styles wither with passing time?

Only they hold the answers. 

But if you are interested to know which style, in my opinion, are near BEST compared to the others, then here it is (watch the video).

Enjoy!
