I don’t really have firsthand knowledge of the academies which are not focused on fighting—I always assumed they wanted to be about fighting, so i found this an interesting point, though I can’t really assess its accuracy. Plenty of the students who ended up in MMA from other traditions did seem to be looking for real fighting skills, but that’s possibly a selection bias.
