How does a MA change light bulb?

How does a Martial Artist change a light bulb?

The jkd people never actually get to changing the bulb because they split up into 2 camps. One camp says that only the decendants of Thomas Edison and those he trained can change lightbulbs.
The other camp says anyone can change lightbulbs, but first you must study lightbulb changing techniques from many different cultures. After many years of study you will develop your own style of lightbulb changing. The way of no way.

The Karate people develop a sequence of movements that replicate the light bulb training technique. They practice it over and over without actually changing the bulb. the sequence gets more and more complicated the more you train.

The Tai Chi people say who needs to change it? We will just harness our chi energy and direct it into the lifeless bulb and it will work fine. What? it didn't work? Maybe we need to do more chi exercises.

The BJJ guys say why bother, 90% of all lightbulbs end up on the ground anyway!

The Kali guys say that it is far too dangerous to actually change light bulbs. Instead they make up sequences of moves that simulate light bulb changing and give them cool names.

Okay:

The Aikido guy twists it, turns it, drops it....but it doesn't even break.......

How many Kenpoists does it take to change a light bulb?
100: 1 to change the bulb and 99 to say "That's not the way Ed Parker showed me to do it."

MT guys try to force it right in, and never give up trying?

Oh Judo and JJ guys try to figure a way of using the bulbs energy to get it in

How many Martial Artists in general: 100! 1 to actually change it and 99 to stand around and boast that their way would have been better.

The funny thing is,
with respect to the word "change" the light bulb.
Surely many instructors would scream
"change??????"
"we cant have none of this change business!!!"
This light bulb has been with us for 100's of years,
(what an advert for low energy long life bulbs)
"This light bulb is steeped in tradition,
to change it, is to throw away and disrespect the grandmaster,
no me must leave it exactly how it is, and rekindle its glow with our ki-energy".

Traditional MAs don't change the bulb, instead they "stay in the dark"

TKD splits in two groups over this question.
One group campaigns (successfully) for a changing lightbulbs to become part of the Olympics - but you are only allowed to change bulbs with your feet. Whoever changes the most in three rounds wins.
The other group moves to a different country to freely pursue the true and only way of changing lightbulbs - by copying the karate way of doing it ...

What about the wt guys? Do they claim to be the best „bulb changers“ in the world?
