19 Gray Space By: Masoud Hayeri Khyavi
Different kinds of martial arts classes, regardless of whether or not they are
original, have been established for a long time in the World. Some of them then
were closed and some are still training practitioners. The competitive atmosphere in
training martial arts to young interested practitioners is praiseworthy, but provided
that it is really for training not for business and seeking a position! Unfortunately,
what is these days dominant in this field (martial arts) is “to show off”, “selfaggrandizement”,
“gaining a position”, and unhealthy business goals in particular.

Masood Hayeri Khyavi
Almost in all cases, except for competitions with grappling techniques or ground
grappling techniques, the fights end on the ground; either one of the opponents
falls to the ground due to the other’s opponent’s heavy blow, or both opponents
fall to the ground and the fight shifts from straight form to the ground.
