Spoken like a true philistine. Over the years, combat has evolved into more than just a means to defend oneself; it is an art medium. (Why do you think they call them martial arts?) And like any other art, it has the potential to be just as beautiful as any natural landscape.
Take, for instance, this gentleman doing a tai chi demonstration. With each move, he exudes gracefulness and serenity, moving in time with the ebb and flow of chi within his body. That is beautiful.
And look at this. Who would have thought a crude weapon of war could be wielded with such finesse, passion and (of course) beauty?
By the way, Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure just got on sale on Amazon for less than 17€/ Ł16. If anyone in here hasn't played it yet I would want to know impressions from you, so If you have free time after school or doesn't have anything to do this summer I recommend you to try it. I think Amazon makes free shipping these days if you live in the western zone of Europe, so if you're from England, France, Germany or even Greece it would make free shipping. I hope y'all can afford it, I don't know anyone who needed to play this game but maybe someone in here would find it useful, I don't know. It wasn't released in the US afaik, so you can import it too.
