Do you think there is any value to looking at the development of the "Martial Arts" from a Geograpahical perspective. I have been thinking about the merits of this for while, and I am wondering what you guys think about it. The geographical perspective would consist principally of a spatial analysis, but could also include a temporal component. It might be interesting to compare how different social and environmental influences may effect the MA's and if correlations can be drawn between the influences and ... the application...or the popularity of a given MA. Anyway, I apologize, I sort of think out loud here, any comments..? Thanks for time.
