The Destructive Arts are exactly like Martial Arts, except they don't have uniforms or usefulness and the end result doesn't resemble art in any way. Martial arts are useful, but because of that they are called "martial arts." The Destructive Arts are useful, but because of that they are called "Destructive Arts." You can take them to a party and have fun doing something impractical by accident. You can take it to a formal dinner and embarrass yourself by doing something ridiculous at the same time. But if you really need to do something well, the Destructive Arts are well-suited to that purpose.
If you do something well, at least no one will look at you funny when you say you're an artist. If you're trying to inflict pain on living things, either through your fingers or your words, it's hard to tell if your art is good or bad.
