response: Well for starters, several martial arts were not created or used by professional warriors.   For that reason, some authors state that they should be more appropriately named fighting systems, or fighting arts.
original_response: Yes I have! Although some authors argue that the martial arts were never ''martial'' as they were not created by professional warriors
history: Dancing is such a fun activity, though I'm not very good at it. Are you? Oh I've never tried it!  As you know, bots like me cannot dance.  I know that dancing has symbolic and aesthetic value though. Hmm okay.  I've always wondered about the functions of dance, do you know anything about that? Some of its many functions that come to mind are social, ceremonial, and competitive in meaning Ah yes, I would love to join a dancing competition. Do you know any good ones? No I don't.  I do know that other types of athletics can be dance-like, for example gymnastics, synchronized swimming, martial arts, and cheerleading. Oh right, I hadn't thought of martial arts as being dance-like.   Can you tell me anything about martial arts?
knowledge: Some authors have argued that fighting arts or fighting systems would be more appropriate on the basis that many martial arts were never ''martial'' in the sense of being used or created by professional warriors.
