Yes, there are. Most martial arts have their own traditions. While many overlap, each style, each type, and often each school individually has their own traditions. If you are looking for the specific traditions of a particular type of martial arts (Boxing, Kung Fu, Karate, Tai Kwon Do, etc.) than you should research those specifically.If you are looking for the traditions of a particular school, than you should ask the sensei of that school. If you are looking for traditions of a particular style (like the white crane style) you should study the other aspects of that style as well, as the traditions are often related to what is most effective for that style's practitioners.If you are looking for general traditions of all martial arts, that is a fairly broad question, and difficult for most people to answer, as most people tend to only ever study one or two types of martial arts.
