Protocol In Martial Arts
In traditional Martial Arts, protocol is of vital importance. The protocols spring from the tradition of each style and from the tradition of the Martial Arts in general. Without protocol, there would be no preservation of tradition. Without tradition all we would have left is perhaps a game or a physical fitness program. Martial Arts is bigger than that. The reason it is bigger is because we preserve those good things about our Art that have been proved true and useful throughout the centuries.
