As a black-belted martial artist (Wing-Chun), I do incorporate SOME aspects of MA in BDSM scenes when appropriate, but one has to remember that MAs are a form of real-time combat. Some, such as Wing Chun, are indeeed the basis for Special Forces training -case in point, the US Navy Seals training has taken a great deal of its foundation from Wing Chun, Dim Mak, Lumpai Hung Gar Kung Fu, among other forms and stramilined/specialized them into very workable combat training in today's environment. Pain tolerance training is a consideration, but there is the very real possibility of the untrained person causing very serious or life threatening problems when attempting to apply MA to BDSM. As always in the scene, or anywhere, common sense needs to be used on both the Dom and the subs part.
I am perfectly aware that "real" martial arts are martial, and that even the "sport" MA's still have some elements of this. The point, for me, about the physical aspect of martial arts training, is to learn a wide range of responses and to master my body dynamics, observation skills and risk management; this lowers the risk to myself and others during an attack, as well as allowing me to respond with something less than lethal force when defending myself.
In the art I train, we emphasize learning the anatomy and body dynamics through direct experience in full-contact partnered training, as well as conditioning muscle reflexes that utilize these body dynamics in a manner that is based on instinctive responses (avoid this, break that, lock those, etc.) that are given form through these body dynamics when they are assimilated into your natural movements.
Knowledge of how your own body, and the body of the recipient, works, as well as knowing exactly how much something hurts, or how much stress it puts on your body, is something that has myriad benefits.
While we haven't trained with whips yet, it is part of the curriculum, along with other chain weapons. I will say that the body dynamics I have learned so far have taken the impact of my whipping from needing a dozen strokes at full strength in order to elicit squirming, to having to hold back to avoid screaming from any single stroke, without having gained muscle mass in that time. And I have gained better aim, and finer control over how hard I hit.
Knowing how to kick someone isn't usually useful, although knowing how to punch can be a nice supplement for spanking. To those that don't know (not directed at the person I am replying to), the simplest method that is applicable to spanking, very quickly explained, is to strike with the base of the palm (which is supported by the wrist and arm) while taking care that the fingers do not get in the way (they break easily), and to aim behind what you're striking by 2-6 inches. Start light, because it will hurt more than one might expect, and never apply it on any other part of the body without a proper background.
This knowledge applies readily to many things. After some years of training, the "playing her body like a violin" phrase will find a parallell in BDSM. Without tools, one can give virtually any level of any sensation, as well as countering virtually any effort, while retaining safety and control; particularly when the slave/sub/bottom doesn't have this level of skill themselves, this can be an amazing experience to be on the receiving end of. Especially if you spend the time to become good enough that it looks effortless (note that I'm not talking about posing, but acquiring the actual skill).
That said, I think most people will find restraining techniques a lot more interesting.
And with regards to e.g. humiliation, a small girl leading a huge bear of a man around in excruciating pain by his pinkie-finger might be cute. I do know of one case where a couple of bikers were looking to tear up a pub, and the bartender (a young woman that lacked a head or so on their height) stopped them, restrained them and pretty physically tossed them to the police with a smile and a comment about falling down the stairs.
But getting all of these benefits is something that takes a lot of time and effort, of course, so if one doesn't have an interest in the martial aspect of it, or the perfectionist aspect, one might want to learn a limited selection of knowledge from someone competent to instruct in it.
