Filipino Martial Arts is more than just the acquisition of skills. There are many who may be far more superior with their physical abilities and are lauded as having some form of greatness and are therefore measured by these standards. Their focus is geared to things such as having the best equipment, all the modern facilities and a fascination for the best scientific approach to learning and practicing. Everything about acquiring more strength, speed and power, is their goal. It is all about themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n Sadly, that is also the reason why they tend to drop (ignore) what seems to be unimportant to them, like giving proper respect to their teachers (many of which they now scoff at as merely old school and superstitious folks). Many more arrogant attitudes towards FMA traditions and culture as well as values which they see as antiquated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n
