Who invented martial arts?
Martial arts evolved with mankind. The first time someone hit someone else, the martial arts began. Over time they have developed as a way to record the most effective techniques, the best place to hit someone, or the most effective way to use a weapon. Most cultures have developed martial arts of some form or another. These arts are based on their weapons, cultural beliefs and climates. There are many arguments as to where the study of martial arts came from. Some would say the Japanese; others are stern in their belief that the Chinese brought martial arts to its popularity and so forth. Although there are minimal sources as to who started the study, legend has it that the Chinese martial arts originated with an Indian Prince who brought his skills to the Buddhist temples in China. From there it spread throughout China and to Japan and Okinawa, Malaysia, Korea, Thailand and Southeast Asia. The first conflict between two men was the beginning of martial arts. A man must have, for some reason - probably out of jealousy, taken a tool used for hunting animals and used it against his fellow man. Information on what techniques worked were passed down from generation to generation. Since then the science and art has been in development.
Is boxing classed as a martial art?
Although boxing forms a part of martial arts; it's more restrictive in its rules. In boxing each combatant must wear regulation 16 oz gloves. They cannot use their feet to strike an opponent. Rounds are three minutes and based on the Marquis of Queensberry Rules. Martial Arts fighting encompasses boxing (gloves are much thinner), wrestling, judo, taekwondo, karate, and other various forms of self defence. Strikes are delivered by use of the hands, elbows, knees, and feet.
Why do more people study Japanese martial arts than Chinese martial arts?
I'm assuming you must live in the western hemisphere. The reasons that such a large percentage of the west favors Japanese martial arts are several. One is because most of the Japanese arts are of a more linear and less complicated form which favors the west's more aggressive and direct mentality. Another reason is that many military soldiers brought the Japanese arts back with them from their stations in Okinawa and Japan. The Japanese have, since the Feudal era, been willing to share their arts with the outside world where the Chinese have been very secretive about theirs. Much of the Chinese styles is still misunderstood by the west but with the internet and a more open Chinese mentality, you will surely begin to see more exposure...however it may not be adopted quite so quickly by westerners still. Best wishes.
