you could argue the same for martial arts then, who says we evolved to do them either? 
doing a few sets of pullups anyway is nowhere near the same as climbing trees all day
ha, my martial arts today including grappling with a stuffed tiger!
you have a point there! I definitely agree
but spinning hook kicks aren't my main focus, hehe, i try to keep my techniques simple and effective
i try to apply these techniques in my martial arts the most,
-wrestling (take downs etc), submissions, striking from clinch
- MAIN STRIKES=stomps to grounded opponent, low kicks (round house, frontal), palm strikes to head (especially when I have opponent pinned on floor), although i like punches to soft areas, the mid section and vitals like throat, front kicks, simple knees, basic elbows, hammer fist (especially to grounded opponent
-strikes to groin, neck etc vitals
-i like running and doing a jump frontal kick once in a while (feels more natural than a jumping side kick)
etc
i like to do some stuff with a stick too, no sinning and stuff, just basic clobbering motions
techniques common in other arts that i can do, but i don't apply as much in training
-spinning kicks, spinning elbows spinning punches
-side kicks, jumping kicks, tornado kick
-elaborate movements etc
