I don't know of a reason why they have to. I know hundreds of highly skilled martial artists that cannot do a cartwheel.

What are some types of martial arts equipment that are necessary for complete martial arts training?

The equipments for getting complete martial arts training depend upon the type of martial art you intend to master. The typical equipments are Samurai sowards, Nanchakus , Plain Escrima Sticks and Karate equipments. This is a complex question that mainly depends on what form of martial arts you intend to train in. For a striking art such as Muay Thai, a suitable punching bag, striking pads, and sparring equipment will be needed. For a grappling based art, investments should be made in things like judo mats so that throws can be done safely. Mixed Martial Arts use all of of this equipment as they train in every aspect of combat; striking, throws, and grappling.

Does every martial artist say don't get into a fight?

In my opinion , EVERY martial artist should say "Don't get into a fight" if at all possible of course. Though martial arts is looked upon as more "sporty" today, thanks to movies, MMA, tough man competitions, games, and all that, most people don't realize that martial arts was originally started as a self DEFENSE. Many schools of varying styles teach a basic guideline of "There is no first punch in karate" or kung fu, or whatever it may be. This mind set is that in martial arts, you should not be the attacker or the initiator of the fight, and you should only use it when necessary to defend yourself, or others.

What should you do if you're desperate to learn real martial arts but can't take classes?

You should research online articles and watch videos of different arts. Reading books about martial arts is good too; we'd recommend a handbook of martial arts by Fay Goodman if you're into something like jeet kune do, but most likely there is someone in your area who practices martial arts, so try to find someone who can teach you until you can find a class to attend (they don't have to be a 6th-dan blackbelt master).


Who is the best in the world at martial arts?

This is actually a tricky question. First we would have to decide how a martial artist should be rated to be the best in the world. Would it be based on the ability to win a match, difficulty of mastering the art, which provides the most practical application, etc.To honestly answer a question like this you would first have to know who every martial artist in the world is, and what their capacity is to perform their own art, rated by their own system and then compared to others.In short, it would almost be impossible to find "the best in the world". There are many who would immediately answer "Bruce Lee", but this isn't really a valid answer. Now if someone were to ask:"who is the best martial artist in the world, out of a list of the famous martial artists in the world"You would have to consider that even among the famous martial artists, many practice different arts and would have to be ranked in their own martial arts system, and then compared to other martial arts, and even after that some might say they would need to fight each other.Unfortunately there's never an easy answer to a question like this because there's never enough data to draw a solid conclusion. This kind of question is more of an opinion than anything else, so then it may be prudent to reform the question into something like:"Who do you think is the best martial artist in the world, and why?"

Which is the number one martial art technique?

It isn't the style, it is the practitioner that is the key.

What is the round off of 3.1?

The round-off is a gymnastic floor skill used to turn horizontal energy into vertical energy. It's technically very similar to the cartwheel, only that now you land on both feet at the same time. Another important technical difference between round-off and cartwheel is that when you do a cartwheel you spread your legs, while when you do a round-off, you should close your legs when your reach vertical level.
