simple question that is very deep and contraversial (misspelled)
A: In some styles like Mixed Martial Arts, Shootwrestling, San Shau, Muay Thai Kickboxing, and the like it is all about the sport and competition. Other Activites like Aikido, Hapkido do not have tournaments and "world" champions. Still Other styles have both, a competive side and a "martial" or warrior side that deal with self-defense.
TaeKwonDo is a national Korean Sport that uses both Traditions and Competions to reach the world as the most popular martial art. Alot kickboxers, Mixed martial artists, K-1, UFC had foundation in taekwondo.
