There are many different kinds of martial arts. Most of them could be classified as either wrestling related, or striking related. As each branch developed, different rules were also developed along each side. Most of the rules eliminate some aspects of fighting, like greco roman wrestling prohibits striking and holds below the waist, boxing prohibits kicking...etc.
It is true that these rules are in some way impair the students of these martial arts, in terms of dealing a real fight outside of the ring. But as long as the rules indeed help the students of these martial arts to grasp the concept of the arts they are studying. I think it is still a good way to learn.
I think by understanding how these rules let students learn by limiting their resources, we could learn how to design our education system in general better.
