It's possible, but most likely such a person would probably have trained many long years in a variety of other Martial Arts styles, and then adapt the learned techniques into a system of his own, or their Martial Art style is mainly based on another system (or other systems), but they have made enough changes or additions or changed the focus of the techniques enough to make it unique in its' own way.
But nowadays if you see someone claiming to be a founder of their own style are a lot of times they are just a "Legend in their own mind", though there is the rare exception to this.
Many true martial artists have been studying martial arts for many, many years and take the knowledge that they have learned and incorporated into their "own" style.
It is very hard today to find a martial art system that is solely based on original techniques.
On that note, keep in mind that many "instructors" can makeup their own style, type out credentials and certifications online, and make themselves out to be something they are not. When looking into martial arts; do research and find out if the style is legitimate and if the instructor has legitimate credentials.

Are there any traditions of martial arts?
Yes, there are. Most martial arts have their own traditions. While many overlap, each style, each type, and often each school individually has their own traditions. If you are looking for the specific traditions of a particular type of martial arts (Boxing, Kung Fu, Karate, Tai Kwon Do, etc.) than you should research those specifically.If you are looking for the traditions of a particular school, than you should ask the sensei of that school. If you are looking for traditions of a particular style (like the white crane style) you should study the other aspects of that style as well, as the traditions are often related to what is most effective for that style's practitioners.If you are looking for general traditions of all martial arts, that is a fairly broad question, and difficult for most people to answer, as most people tend to only ever study one or two types of martial arts.

How do you patent your own martial art?
I've spoken to my lawyer about this, because I know martial artists that threaten to sue people for "teaching their stuff". The short answer is no. If you write a manual or produce a video or otherwise fix something into a tangible form - then that thing has copyright. That's the book or video itself, but not your style. You could also file a trademark on your style name or logo. Krav Maga is famously going through trademark lawsuits. The real issue with trying to protect a style is that there is virtually no martial arts movements you could make that don't already exist in some other style.
