In his 2014 Berlin lecture on “Ethics and Real Skill in Martial Art,” Master Chen critiqued the modern tendency to compare traditional martial arts with competitive sports, deeming it a false equivalence. This theme resurfaced in his 2024 Sydney workshop, where he further elaborated on the detrimental impact of such comparisons on Tai Chi Chuan training. |

Traditional martial arts, exemplified by figures like Master Chen and his teacher Master Hong, emphasize restraint, responsibility, and ethical conduct over raw power or showmanship. Violence is viewed as a last resort, and martial knowledge is entrusted only to students of proven character, reflecting the deep responsibility teachers bear. The teacher-student bond, rooted in Confucian ideals, safeguards against the misuse of power, while historical betrayals and modern temptations like ego, fame, and wealth serve as cautionary tales. Modern comparisons between traditional martial arts and competitive sports or MMA often overlook the deeper purpose of these arts: self-cultivation, moral integrity, and the wisdom to wield power responsibly. At its core, traditional martial arts are not about victory in combat but about understanding one’s capabilities, respecting their consequences, and choosing restraint over aggression.
This is an essay based on Master Chen’s Lecture in Berlin 2014-05-06 on “Ethics and Real Skill in Martial Art“. |
