Traditional Martial Arts vs. Combat Sports

[Lolita]

Do you think traditional martial arts like kung fu and aikido are losing ground to competitive sports like boxing, wrestling, and MMA? Or do they still serve an important cultural and philosophical role? Which side do you lean toward?

I think modern combat sports is a blend of various traditional and ancient martial art techniques. For instance, in MMA, you can see Karate and Taekwando movies.
