Martial arts are systems of practices and traditions of combat and self-defense...Today, martial arts are studied for various reasons including combat skills, sport, fitness, self-defense, self-cultivation (meditation), mental discipline, character development and building self-confidence...The term originally referred to traditional East Asian arts, but has recently been applied to ancient and modern systems world-wide...

A practitioner of martial arts is referred to as a martial artist.

Overview

Worldwide there is a great diversity of martial arts...Broadly speaking, martial arts share a common goal: to defeat a person physically or to defend oneself from physical threat...In many martial arts, training goes beyond fighting to include personal, mental, and spiritual development...

A common characteristic of martial arts is the systemization of fighting techniques...One common traditional method of training, particularly in the East Asian martial arts, is the form or kata (also called poomse, ch'ůan t'ao, kuen, tao lu, hyung, or tuls)...This is a set routine of techniques performed alone, or sometimes with a partner...

Martial arts may focus on one or more of these areas:
  • Striking (e.g. Boxing, Karate, Southern Praying Mantis, Wing Chun, Krav Maga, Bando)
        
  • Kicking, (e.g. Taekwondo, Savate, Capoeira, Lethwei, Tantui)
        
  • Grappling and throwing (e.g. Wrestling, Shuai Jiao, Jujutsu, Judo, Pehlwani, Sambo, Naban, Aikido, Qin na, Kampfringen, Hapkido), or
        
  • Weaponry (e.g. Iaido,Kobudo, Naginata-do, Kendo, Fencing, Eskrima, Gatka, Banshay,Fechtkunst).
Some martial arts, particularly the traditional Chinese martial arts, also teach side disciplines such as bone-setting, Qigong, acupuncture, acupressure (Tui na), and other aspects of traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Indian martial arts also teach aspects of traditional Indian medicine as side disciplines...

my fav. one - flying side kick


The martial arts, though commonly associated with East Asian cultures and people, are by no means unique to this region...For example, various Indian martial arts, such as Kuttu Varisai, Varma Kalai and Kalari Payattu, were developed in ancient India...Savate was developed from Chausson and English boxing as a form of kickboxing in France...Capoeira's athletic movements were developed in Brazil by slaves based on skills brought with them from Africa...English boxing was developed from bare-knuckle boxing...

Many martial arts also strive to teach moral values and provide guidance for children who join the ranks of those learning the art...Many arts require those who achieve black belt or the equivalent to take an oath restricting their use of their knowledge...Martial artists are also trained in mental and emotional discipline
