The original purpose of the Martial Arts was to defend the practitioner against a physical threat, usually in war, but also against crime. Today, few practitioners have any real need to difend themselves from any such attacks, but they wish to be prepared just in case, or they relish the physical challenge of training one's body to be stronger and faster than it might otherwise be.
