between?

Yeah, let go of the ice. It's no good anyways.
My Ardbeg bottle is still closed.

So maybe we should ask about the difference "between" good and bad whisky.

This topic is TIREsome. I am at work so no whisky around.

Martial artists: Learn to fight but don't. Learn deadly techniques and never use them.
Sport fighters: Learn to fight and do. Don't learn deadly techniques and never use them.

The fact that sport fighters actually fight on a regular basis, against people who are actually trying to beat them, means that:
(1) They actually acquire the ability to fight or they quit and take up tennis; and
(2) Are generally fit, in modern sports terms

The fact that martial artists do not actually fight tends to mean that:
(1) While they may have endless arsenals of deadly technqiues, they don't acquire the necessary attibutes - courage, timing, durability, killer instinct etc - to make them work under pressure, so in many cases, cannot fight even if they like to think they can; and
(2) Can be highly graded and yet still be terribly out-of-shape, but may be longer-term healthier than sports fighters who build up chronic injuries, etc.

Taxi!

The difference is "martial arts" is a more general label, and "martial sport" is more specific to context, but in reality I agree with Andy's general statement. A lot of so call "martial artists" (the ones that don't train their stuff in any range of sparring) art not training "martial" arts, but are training specific attributes that help specific martial arts or fighting. To say you train "martial" arts, you have to actually engaging in some range of fighting on a regular basis, be it in the context of sport, dog brothers or da streetz...
