Martial Arts Overview:
Martial Arts - Those two word combined probably brings forth images of bald men in robes, Bruce Lee fighting a 7 foot giant, or your favorite "B" rated movie. However, martial arts covers a broad range of disciplines. This may include the many styles of Kung Fu and Karate, to Western diciplines such as boxing, wrestling and fencing. Some are sports, religions, fitness programs or just plain old self defense. Although listed in Sports, it is much more. Martial arts basically means the "art of war or combat". Anything that is combat related is a form of martial art. It's roots are deep not only in history, but in the very nature of man, or woman.
