What do you mean?

I go by my ~10 years of academic, philosophical, and physical experience, and by definitions but mostly what I've been taught by real practitioners of the art.

Since when does martial not mean warlike? When did it become "family sport and fun exercise"? Just because mainstream American pop culture has turned it mostly into a business jazzercise class that kids go to after school does not make it so for the thousands of years the real thing has existed. Or for the real artists quietly living it.
