All About Martial Arts

The term martial arts or fighting systems can sometimes get a little confusing as martial arts covers a wide spectrum of combat, fitness and self defense sports; some with weapons and some without. Some forms of martial arts are aikido, karate, judo, jujitsu, t’ai chi, kung fu and tae kwon do. Judo and tae kwon do are Olympic sports. These sports are popular worldwide with men and women and a lot of children are now joining martial arts clubs for the discipline it teaches. The ancient form of martial arts originated centuries ago in places such as Tibet, India, Japan and China. Most weaponless martial arts focus on striking blows to your opponent with your feet and side of the hands. Most people join martial arts clubs for competition and exercise and it’s a relatively inexpensive sport, as all you really need is a uniform.
