Vovinam is a Vietnamese martial art. Like most Martial Arts, it is a blend of techniques. I believe there are aspects of Hapkido and Karate, as well as kung fu in the background of Vovinam.

Why is it in accurate to call karate in martial art?
It is perfectly accurate to call Karate a Martial Art.Martial arts are defined as the skills used in combat and warfare. While most people think of it as the unarmed skills that are rooted in Asia, they actually include all aspects of armed and un-armed combat regardless of their origins. A sharpshooter with a rifle is practicing a martial art just as a black belt in karate is.Some schools combine karate, which translates as Empty Hand, with kobudo, which deals with the traditional weapons of Okinawa. Because they feel that martial arts should never involve weapons, they want to say karate is not a martial art.Still, there are some people that they will teach you martial art, which is nothing else but a pure mixture of different fighting styles. They have tried to change the definition of martial arts and trying to make people think that karate and other such styles are not part of martial arts. This is just another annoying marketing technique.There is a school of thought that believes that many styles of karate have been turned into sports, eliminating their use in actual combat. In some school, the focus is on competition and winning matches and trophies. Some of these have moved away from true martial arts and are more interested in promoting the sports aspect.

Is Kung Fu good for women?
Kung Fu is Chinese for "Martial Arts." There are many, many schools of Kung Fu, the one most recognized in the West being the Five Ancestors. However, the best Kung Fu for women could be Wing Chun. Wing Chun is a martial art that puts great emphasis on body positioning. They use their superior posture to deflect or reflect blows from an opponent. A great advantage of this martial art is that it does not require the pure strength and flexibility as many other martial arts do (namely Tae Kwon Do and Tiger, Leopard and Dragon Kung Fu), but instead relies on manipulations of angles and softness to overcome an enemy. Legend has it that Wing Chun was actually developed by a woman. She came across a snake and a crane fighting in a forest, and combined the two fighting forces into one. Another theory is that Wing Chun was developed for imperial assassins- flashy, acrobatic Kung Fu could not be used in assassination missions.
What is the martial art used in Casino Royale and Bourne Ultimatum to propel characters off walls and into buildings?
The type of fighting used was "kali" also know as Filipino Martial Arts. This is especially true for Bourne but was used to a point in Casino Royale.Kali/FMA is very old (much older than most Asian martial arts) and is in fact not a martial art, but is instead a fighting system. Martial arts incorporate aspects into them that serve no specific purpose when pertaining to a fight. Everything is used for a fight in Kali. It is also the only martial art that starts trainees off with a weapon at first and then you work to open hand. All others start open handed and work towards a weapon. FMA does this because it is easier to learn how to improvise and fight with an open hand after one has leaned to use a weapon, than to fight with a weapon if one has not had any training for it. The weapon is an extension of your body. Lastly, FMA came into ist final form with the spanish invasion of the filipines, but has in fact been around since around the year 200 A.D. and has only changed and become more lethal (now incorporating the use of knives and swords as well as sticks and the body). As for the running scene, the type used was not parkour but was actually called "Free Running." It was developed by Sébastien Foucan and incorporates aspects of Parkour. The difference is that parkour is meant to get a person from one area to the next, as efficient as possible. Free Running is instead meant to get a person from one area to the next in the most aesthetically pleasing way. That is why you see things such as "vaults" used in CR and in Bourne Ultimatum. Wikipedia either one and you will see the difference.AikidoA variant of Aikido , I think? It is pure physical ability, not a specific martial art. Individuals that study martial arts improve their strength and flexibility, often allowing them to do things that seem well beyond the typical human's abilities.--------------If you are talking about in the beginning scene of Casino Royale where Bond is chasing the guy all the way to the embassy, the guy is doing parkour. Its not really a martial art, as martial arts is for self defence. Parkour is the ability of getting or moving yourself from point A to point B as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Theres lots of websites out there that will teach you about parkour, instruct you on how to do it, and show you it in action.
