At that time, with the support of the authorities, various martial arts academies opened across the country, teaching martial arts forms that were not very practical but looked very impressive. This was the precursor to martial arts. This is also why martial arts can't really be used in actual combat.
If you take a look at the martial arts academies across the country, most of them were established after that period. Very few were established before that.
If you look into the lineage of these martial arts academies, you will find that most can trace their origins back to academies established during that specific period.
Most of the well-known martial arts academies and martial arts legacies today come from those academies. You may wonder why a blogger challenged so many academies and didn't find a single one that was worthwhile.
