Bodidharma was an Indian monk who travelled to China. He taught Buddhism and Martial Arts to the shaolin monks from techniques he brought back from India. That was when martial arts was born.
Second answer
No, he was not the creator of martial arts. Martial arts arise independently within cultures all around the world. Wherever there is war, there is always someone who knows how to wrestle or handle a sword. The concept that Bodhidharma knew or created martial arts does not predate the 20th century. See the paper "Ignorance, Legend, and Taijiquan" by the martial arts historian Stan Henning.
