Joining In

A group that I belong to is the group of Martial Artists. For this group however, we unfortunately don't have one singular logo or brand name. This is due to the fact that Martial artists study a variety of arts and live all over the world. So one single symbol, brand, or logo would be virtually impossible to define us.

However, on a more specific level a lot of different arts have different symbols and different schools have different logos. This is one of the many ways to distinguish between the arts and schools. But for individuals like myself, who study many different styles and have been apart of many different schools, we have no singular symbol or logo, which in a sense is very freeing.

But for the arts and schools that do have logos it helps define who they are. These symbols and logos sometimes describe the art or founder, or sometimes describe the lifestyle of the students that study the art. All these symbols help distinguish each style, yet all martial artists belong to a global community of martial artists which have no symbol....in my opinion.
