sport or art finally resolved!

The problem is terminology. Art - Sport. It tends to imply an either or type of thing where it really more of a range type.

So .....

Art - no sporting aspect what so ever.

Aort - primarily an art but with some sporting aspects

Spart - primarily a sport with some art aspects

Sport - just a sport.


There you go, problem solved. :hat:

 

You've just made the problem about 16 times worse. Is akido an art or an aort? Is TKD a sport or a Spart? Is Karate a sport, spart, aort or art?

 

Brings new meaning to the phrase...

THIS IS SPARTA!!!

 

Cool, does this make me a Spartan?

 

Or maybe an Aortist?

 

Sounds like someone who carries blood from the left ventricle.

 

I like where this is going, but may I make a suggestion? What about sports and arts that are also heavily based on philosophy? I propose the words "phort" and "phart" are needed to adequately describe these. I dunno about anyone else, but I'd be proud to call myself a phartist!

 

i approve of this thread.

@slip: teeped any persian fighters lately?

 

Personally I prefer a style that has elements of art, self defence and philosophy.
An art that is "Dapht" basically.

 

how about a defensive art or "defart"?

 

Hahahaha oh I've missed you guys.
