[disgruntled]

i have given this a lot of though and i got to take issue with the phrase jack of all trades master on none.....

i think it comes down the the MAist and there intent.... i could have trained in hapkido all my life and get higher degrees and become a master, but that would not make me the best MAist that i could be. it did not push me to develop characteristics i need as a full rounded MAist.... and i do not think that makes me any less of a MAist. because in the end i want to be the best MAist i can be, not hapkidoist and for me, that means learning more than one source..... i think that phrase applies to people that keep trying different things and not sticking with anything, but that is another issue all together.

further i would argue that MMA is its own style and thus the jack of all trades thing does not apply.

and i sorta agree about the art thing you mentioned... but i think it is highly contingent on the MAist..... but the training methods do lack in way of "do".
