It seems during these modern times a new warrior is emerging. I use the term warrior because it is deeper than a martial artist or soldier or any name anyone has come up with.
This new type of warrior studies:
Military strategy
A single martial art or an eclectic mix.
Wilderness skills like fire, woodcraft, stone tool making, etc.
Weapons of all sorts from guns to knives to sticks and stones.
Herbal healing traditions and first aide.
Hunting and fishing.
Exercise and fitness training.
Also a wide range of religion and philosophy.
It seems to surpass any past tradition simply because it includes them and everything else. America is a great melting pot so it seems it has made a serious warrior stew.
some people use terms like Ninjas, Kungfu master, Navy SEAL, or Scholar-Warrior, but it really can't be named or who cares about its name studying is a lifetime. Ancient masters didn't go around naming their art usually their students did or people who needed a name.
Styles are ridiculus. There are more similarites than disparities. But there is no style that includes all skills mentioned above. Even Ninjas don't have a gunjitsu, even kungfu masters don't know Native American healing methods. What I am saying is in this modern era we need to know the past and the present. Any modern art from the past needs to be updated if not then it becomes a theatrical production.
