For me, Martial Art is not pounding someone’s face into pulp. As you can see by the various topics on this website , there are all kinds of facets or aspects of martial art that can take you a lifetime to explore. We were given brains for a purpose. There really is no end to it all. But if your goal is to win an MMA trophy and then to retire then there is an end to that. Classical Martial arts have no end.
