Tournaments,
And Why You Shouldn’t Do Them
In the majority of Martial Arts schools
there are 2 ways to increase in rank. The first is
belt test and the second is tournaments, or to say
it more plainly; beat a belt of a higher rank on the
mat in front of a crowd and a judge.
At Kung-Fu we do not participate
in tournaments. Our experience is that they provide
a false sense of security and encourage aggressiveness.
For example, if a yellow belt beats an orange belt,
now the yellow belt feels like he can beat all orange
belts. Often times, this yellow belt will now feel
like he is better than other yellow belts, and treat
them with disrespect. Who is to say that the orange
belt was simply off, or maybe just not as trained
as he/she needed to be?
Kung-Fu students learn that
Kung-Fu is an art that is not to be displayed publicly
unless absolutely required, and then only to disarm
or incapacitate. It should never be used to boast
of one’s abilities or “prove” something.
It has been proven over and over, that martial art
students who deviate from this thinking almost always
end up getting hurt by a more skilled student because
they picked a fight.
