Recently, with the increasing number of kung fu fans, many clubs have been set up to satisfy their needs. But lots of Asian people do not pay attention to the traditional martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) and few of them are interested in learning traditional martial arts?
From Bruce Lee to Jackie Chan, many Asian kung fu stars are welcomed. Bruce Lee became one of the best-known Asian names in the world through his action movies. The kung fu masters are always full of legendary and have many followers.
The clubs in China are attracting many overseas kung fu fans. China has been as the capital of kung fu so many foreigners come to China just for learning kung fu.
Well, it's true that, to some extent, Asian teachers are much better than teachers anywhere in the world because martial art is a small part of culture here. In other countries and regions, martial art is something that peopledo as a hobby. However, most of students in clubs are from Europe, the United States or Taiwan. Few mainlanders would like to learn it, which bother the martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) teachers. They are afraid that many martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) will disappear after generations.
It is hoped that more Asian will take up martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) even just as a hobby. Then, the traditional culture would be kept alive as a livelihood, in place of an exotic skill chic / stylish / trendy / hip / cool among foreigners

,Martial Arts and Self Defense
Martial Arts and Self DefenseBy Amy Celia
There is a serious, even deadly problem in the world of martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) and self defense.
Most people assume that if someone has their black belt or competes in martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) competitions that they already know how to defend themselves, however that couldn't be farther from the truth. Having a Black Belt in any martial art does not mean you're ready to protect yourself in the real world.
Over the past three decades there have been a lot of changes in martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) and self defense, however none as unfortunate and dangerous as right now. There's always been the "my style of martial art is better than your martial art" debate, however the problem goes much deeper than that. The critical issue is not about what martial art or self-defence (the means of defending oneself from physical attack; the right to protect oneself against violence by using reasonable force, especially when used as justification in a murder charge) system is best, it is how martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) and combat sports are perceived as self defense.
Due to the increasing popularity of martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) on TV, in movies, more and more people are becoming interested in the martial arts, however at the same time, more and more people becoming confused (chaotic, jumbled or muddled; making no sense; illogical; embarrassed) about the subject of self defense. Each and every form of traditional martial art andmartial sport has their place. They both build character and get you in great shape, however can they save your life in an attempted rape or homicide?
The benefits of studying the martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) are legendary. Traditional martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) like Karate, Aikido, Kung fu and combat sports like Mixed Martial Arts, Judo, Wrestling, Tae Kwon Do, Thai Boxing, Boxing and Brazilian Jujitsu will all give you life long benefits and are worthy endeavors, however will they give you the self-defence (the means of defending oneself from physical attack; the right to protect oneself against violence by using reasonable force, especially when used as justification in a murder charge) tools you need to survive an all out, knock down, drag-out street fight? Do you really have to spend years and countless pounds studying a martial art to learn only the essential, proven self defense?
There is no argument that martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) and martial sports develop character and get you in shape, however when it comes to self defense, you'll discover they fall drastically short under the stress of real combat.
