You think martial arts, practiced by humans since before recorded history, are the spawn of a 20th century political movement?

No, I think that the cult of arbitrary violence, that invented the mental aberration of calling a skill of killing other humans 'art', has the same root and that is why it is being promoted in our time by totalitarian regimes based on violence.

If you see these people who are 'practicing martial arts' you instantly realize that they are worshiping violence, destruction and domination. Those are the same pillars that fascism had and has.
Fascism is not a 'political movement', and has never been. It's a cult.

But it's not *arbitrary* violence, is it? It's constrained by technique and rules the same way art is constrained by its medium.
