Remember this though, you don't have the experience in Martial Arts to really argue your point effectively. Whether you like it or not Martial Arts are moving into the world of football. You'll just have to deal with it. You have made a valid point or two, just not enough to compensate for your lack of knowledge.
Again, as I mentioned before, I do have a blue sash in Wushu. Obviously you either didn't read that part, or just ignored it, or you don't know what Wushu is. Wushu happens to be the name of Chinese Martial Arts, better known now as Kung Fu ( I just like to call them by their original name).

And again, I have absolutely no problem with anyone practicing Martial Arts. I practice them. But for anyone to say that Martial Arts training is going to give you better football skills than football drills/training, that is just dumb. Will Martial Arts make you a better athlete? Sure! Will it give you more football skills as compared to football drills? No.

And yet again, sure you can take certain things from one sport and apply them to others, after all when you play sports you use your arms, legs, head, body to kick, throw, run, punch, etc. so it is only logical that you would be able to apply certain things to many different sports, but that is only on the athletic side, not the skill side. I will again give you the example of George St. Pierre playing Tennis against Maria Sharapova. Athletically, no comparison. Yet, I bet you anything you want that, in a Tennis match, Maria sleep-walks through humiliating GSP on a Tennis court. Or is it that it only applies to football?

For someone who claims to be a "Martial Arts teacher" you should know better than this. What makes you learn Martial Arts and advance in ranks and master your style? Repetition of the forms. Same thing that makes you a better football player, repetition of the forms. Now I am really questioning your statement about being a MA teacher, or who the hell gave you a rank in anything.
