If Bruce Lee taught us anything it is that "the style of no style" is, in fact, its own style. We are learning that there exist variations of fighting outside of the traditional norms and concepts. But, as 4chan makes clear, having no rules in theory is different from having no rule in practice. Each fighter expresses himself differently, fights differently, and thinks differently. But just as Anonymous proves, there is no such thing as a lawless society.. There will always be socially accepted norms and behaviors. There are plenty of rules in MMA, for example not wristlocks.
There's nothing new under the sun. If you have someone highly specialize meeting someone who is a jack of all trades one of two things happens. If the highly specialized fighter has an advantage over the jack of all trades fighter, the jack loses. If it's the other way around, the specialist loses. We have far too many different styles of martial arts for any one to be "the best." Every style has advantages and disadvantages.
I am simply saying that people who blindly embrace MMA as the be-all-end-all seriously lack both personal and historical perspective.
Good at everything, best at nothing. This method has advantages and disadvantages just as the old martial arts do.
