Martial Arts

Martial Arts also known as Martial science is the study of both human physiology and anatomy for the purpose of utilizing parts of the body for both offense and defense against another person. It also includes strategy to gain the best possible advantage against another person or people in unarmed physical confrontation. Martial Arts are not just an oriental phenomenon. Codified and regimented styles of hand-to-hand combat have been in existence since the earliest civilizations.

Martial Arts History

Ancient Egypt and Judea had specific hand-to-hand training for their warriors. Ancient hieroglyphics show men in combat utilizing kicks, joint locks and throws during combat. Ancient Rome had the gladiators trained in specific techniques and styles of both unarmed and armed martial arts. Even India’s Yoga can trace its roots to include fighting techniques as far back as the origins of China’s Kung Fu. Martial arts, although based in history have a traditional, sport, or modern application.
