martial arts is it an art?

answers1: Any activity requiring time, effort, energy and commitment
is an art. Whether the end result is a painting, a song, a dance, a
movie or a set of martial techniques. Art, like beauty, is in the eye
(or ear,) of the beholder.
answers2: it could be seen as beautiful <br>
<br>
it could also be called "martial strategy"
answers3: it is supposed to be beautiful to watch, like kata for
example, kata is supposed to look perfect and eye catching, but it has
deadly applications
answers4: well friend i consider it an art. its beauty lies within its
movements and applicable thought implications. <br>
<br>
i would equate its beauty to a ballet dancer or a painter in the sense
that a ballet dancer utilizes grace, speed, momentum, and flexibility
to touch your emotions...samething goes for a martial artist. the
painter creates beautiful pieces from his mind and he does it using
very simple tools. a martial artists' tools are his limbs, or
weaponry. from his mind flows infinate possibilites on how to best use
what he has to express himself. <br>
<br>
now you can really see the beauty and full expression during a form.
if you sat and witnessed amillion ppl execute the same form, you'll
get amillion different interpretations. and you can tell after the
form is completed, just how much the artist expressed himself. its a
great sight. <br>
<br>
now a painter uses a canvus...a ballet dancer uses a stage or studio.
a martial artist uses another human being. <br>
<br>
getting more indepth, the greatest martial artist leaves behind their
best portaits...their own created styles. Jeet kun do, kyokushin,
shotokan, wado ryu, aikido, etc... all great works of art.
answers5: Of course it is. That is preposterous that you would degrade
such a beautiful art with a disgusting question.
