This conclusion reflects on the previous chapters and on the status of martial arts as both an organizing term and a discursive entity. Martial arts is a considerably less stable entity than many practitioners are either led or want to believe. The conclusion discusses what dynamics, forces, agents, and agencies work for and against change; what factors work to produce stabilities, and what generate change. If martial arts was invented in modern media culture, and if change is inevitable, what does this suggest about the longevity of the term, concept, set of associations, connotations, and indeed lived, embodied, and institutionalized practices? The conclusion speculates on the possible future modifications and transformations of the field, away from its current forms, contents, and orientations.
