The Martial Arts

Sign up for our free e-zine "Martial Arts Perspectives":

On this page: The Martial Arts you will find links (eventually) to all martial arts. Each art - at least the major ones - will have its own page. You may also want to check out the designated pages for: Martial arts posters, celebrities, special tips and tricks, studies and research at: martial arts science, or interesting MA stories. And hey, why not learn more about martial arts for health or have a laugh at our MA humor page? Happy hunting!

When we're talking about the martial arts we are painting a broad picture here: Oriental as well as non Oriental arts, old as well as new, weapon arts as well as unarmed arts, competitive as well as non-competitive.

Basically there ain't many arts that we wish to exclude. Still we have to limit things somewhat, so we've decided to keep (western) boxing and wrestling out. These are excellent arts and competitive sports - make no mistake about it! It's only that we don't we can feel give them the covereage that they deserve here. And if we included every imaginable art, then the task of keeping this site up and running would be too great a task for any man or woman! In the same vein we've left out modern fencing, as well as many of the old European weapon arts (at least for now...)

Another thing we've left out (here) are the modern self-defense systems like Krav Maga. You will find out more about them other places.

So, the arts below are the ones we feel fits nicely into the broad term: The martial arts. Have we forgotten anything, you may report it here: Please add this to the martial arts!

The A - Z of the martial arts:

The arts are organised in alphabetical order. Eventually you can read more about them by clicking to their respective page. Finally, some of the arts are parts of larger arts. Some of these smaller arts are described briefly on a special page: The Martial Arts in Brief.
