Is Fighting an Art?

Categories:  Gaming

I guess the term “Martial Arts” will answer that.  So it is an art, in more ways than one. There’s boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, Muay Thai and many more fighting disciplines and proficiencies that promote fighting as an art and not merely a way to defend one’s self.  The UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) was founded in order to identify the most effective martial art in a real fight.  The UFC News I’ve read from fighters.com shows how professional Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighters sign up to hit and be hit.  Champions against champions fighting for the title.  The site also has a ranking for the top fighters across the country.

I have always been very vocal about my keen interest in gaming especially the World of Warcraft.  I enjoy the adrenalin rush and thrill of spawning mobs and obnoxious enemy players.  But even in those war-laden games, whenever possible, I choose the safest route, the friendliest map and the most peaceful realm just to avoid conflicts and fights.  My husband always checks my weaponry to make sure I have the nothing but the best artillery.  But I never get to use them as much.  I’m happy enough gathering materials, honing my profession, leveling up and grinding by the easy-to-kill monsters.  For lack of time and a change in perspective, I don’t play much anymore.  And I can’t watch a martial arts fight, like the UFC without covering my eyes even.  I guess I will always be a lover not a fighter.
