MMA IS WATER

After UFC 98 I attempted to keep up with all the news, just as you did, but found so many articles that said the same thing and yet even more with their own unique spin. In any event, it's staggering to think where MMA as a Martial Art and then as a Sport will be in 10 plus years. The growth is spectacular.

MMA is dynamic! It is ever changing, evolving and morphing into the Universal Martial Art. Absorbing what is useful from arts around the world and discarding the rest.

MMA is water as it can take any shape we give it. Now that metaphor can be construed in many different ways all of which would apply I'm sure. From my perspective as a practitioner, a seeker of martial truth and self improvement perfectionist it inspires me, drives me and pushes me to ask more of myself and those around me and in many ways I hope it does for all who enjoy it around the world.

As the late great Bruce Lee once said: "Be Water My Friend"
