∙ 7y agoMartial arts are any combat skill.
The following are sports that were considered important to combat training:
I varies based upon the art itself but for the most part martial arts do not support provocation or thoughtless brutality but self deffense and peacefull practice
Wushu, which is a part of Kung Fu, And Karate
They are actually a part of all martial arts, but predominantly in the grappling arts such as judo or aikido.
The term "Kung Fu" describes the martial arts of China, and there are literally hundreds, possibly over a thousand different empty-hand, and weapon styles. Karate refers to an Okinawa martial art that spread from there to Japan, Korea and the rest of the world. It is my personal opinion, Karate is better for modern day life because it takes less time to master and include more strikes then a lot of basic Chinese martial arts. If you want to become a martial arts master and a human weapon, then I would say Kung Fu, because of the enormous volume of styles available to you. Granted that you find a competent teacher.
A cultural hearth is a place where a culture is born. There are seven primary culture hearths:Nile Valley Indus ValleyWei-Huang ValleyGanges ValleyMesopotamiaMesoamericaWest AfricaAndean AmericaAll of these places contributed to cultures which included martial arts of one form or another.
Wrestling has been a part of the Olympics since the earliest games. Other early events with martial applications included races, javelin, and archery. In more modern times various shooting competitions have been added as well as fencing. Judo is the first of the Asian Martial Arts to be officially added to the Olympic Games with the 1964 games.
Not really, but it can be. In some schools, martial arts is a used to meet physical education requirements. They may be a part of the Kinesiology Department. If all you are doing is martial arts, it would not be considered education, but it is certainly learning!
