Martial Arts and Self-defense -
From these assumptions it is obvious that, even if there could be a lot of common points, not everything can be overlapped:.
These arguments are generally excluded by normal martial arts courses traditional, sportive, etc. and it is completely normal: because it is not their focus. Being a great motorcyclist does not mean being a great car driver even if a lot of dynamics may appear the same. Illusions cost too much: any martial arts practitioner that has never faced this type of topics should understand that he cannot be prepared in fields that have not even been mentioned in the courses that he frequented.

The Romans produced gladiatorial combat as a public spectacle. A number of historical combat manuals have survived from the European Middle Ages.
This includes such styles as sword and shield , two-handed swordfighting and other types of melee weapons besides unarmed combat. Amongst these are transcriptions of Johannes Liechtenauer 's mnemonic poem on the longsword dating back to the late fourteenth century. Likewise, Asian martial arts became well-documented during the medieval period, Japanese martial arts beginning with the establishment of the samurai nobility in the 12th century, Chinese martial arts with Ming era treatises such as Ji Xiao Xin Shu , Indian martial arts in medieval texts such as the Agni Purana and the Malla Purana , and Korean martial arts from the Joseon era and texts such as Muyejebo European swordsmanship always had a sportive component, but the duel was always a possibility until World War I.
Modern sport fencing began developing during the 19th century as the French and Italian military academies began codifying instruction.
The Olympic games led to standard international rules, with the Féderation Internationale d'Escrime founded in Modern boxing originates with Jack Broughton 's rules in the 18th century, and reaches its present form with the Marquess of Queensberry Rules of Certain traditional combat sports and fighting styles exist all over the world, rooted in local culture and folklore.
The most common of these are styles of folk wrestling , some of which have been practiced since antiquity and are found in the most remote areas. Other examples include forms of stick fighting and boxing. While these arts are based on historical traditions of folklore, they are not "historical" in the sense that they reconstruct or preserve a historical system from a specific era.
They are rather contemporary regional sports that coexist with the modern forms of martial arts sports as they have developed since the 19th century, often including cross-fertilization between sports and folk styles; thus, the traditional Thai art of muay boran developed into the modern national sport of muay Thai , which in turn came to be practiced worldwide and contributed significantly to modern hybrid styles like kickboxing and mixed martial arts.
Singlestick , an English martial art can be seen often used in morris dancing. Many European dances share elements of martial arts with examples including Ukrainian Hopak , Polish Zbójnicki use of ciupaga , the Czech dance odzemek , and the Norwegian Halling.
The mid to late 19th century marks the beginning of the history of martial arts as modern sports developed out of earlier traditional fighting systems. In Europe, this concerns the developments of boxing , wrestling and fencing as sports.
In Japan, the same period marks the formation of the modern forms of judo , jujutsu , karate , and kendo among others based on revivals of old schools of Edo period martial arts which had been suppressed during the Meiji Restoration [19] In , Kano Jigoro established the Kodokan School of judo which began the sport of judo.
Modern muay Thai rules date to the s. In China, the modern history of martial arts begins in the Nanjing decade s following the foundation of the Central Guoshu Institute in under the Kuomintang government.
Western interest in Asian martial arts arises towards the end of the 19th century, due to the increase in trade between the United States with China and Japan. Edward William Barton-Wright , a railway engineer who had studied jujutsu while working in Japan between and , was the first man known to have taught Asian martial arts in Europe.
He also founded an eclectic style named Bartitsu which combined jujutsu, judo, wrestling, boxing, savate and stick fighting. Fencing and Greco-Roman wrestling was included in the Summer Olympics. FILA Wrestling World Championships and Boxing at the Summer Olympics were introduced in The tradition of awarding championship belts in wrestling and boxing can be traced to the Lonsdale Belt , introduced in The International Boxing Association was established in World Fencing Championships have been held since As Western influence grew in Asia a greater number of military personnel spent time in China, Japan and South Korea during World War II and the Korean War and were exposed to local fighting styles.
Jujutsu, judo and karate first became popular among the mainstream from the s—s. Due in part to Asian and Hollywood martial arts movies , most modern American martial arts are either Asian-derived or Asian influenced. American kickboxing was developed in the s, as a combination of boxing and karate.
Taekwondo was developed in the context of the Korean War in the s. The later s and s witnessed an increased media interest in Chinese martial arts , influenced by martial artist Bruce Lee.
Bruce Lee is credited as one of the first instructors to openly teach Chinese martial arts to Westerners. Karate World Championships were introduced in The " kung fu wave " of Hong Kong action cinema in the s, especially Bruce Lee films , popularized martial arts in global popular culture.
A number of mainstream films produced during the s also contributed significantly to the perception of martial arts in Western popular culture. These include The Karate Kid and Bloodsport This era produced some Hollywood action stars with martial arts background, such as Jean-Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris.
Also during the 20th century, a number of martial arts were adapted for self-defense purposes for military hand-to-hand combat. World War II combatives , KAPAP s and Krav Maga s in Israel, Systema in Soviet-era Russia, and Sanshou in the People's Republic of China are examples of such systems.
The US military de-emphasized hand-to-hand combat training during the Cold War period , but revived it with the introduction of LINE in In , the first Pancrase event was held in Japan. During the s, Brazilian jiu-jitsu became popular and proved to be effective in mixed martial arts MMA competitions such as the UFC and PRIDE.
Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee were prominent martial artists who became major movie figures. Their popularity and media presence has been at the forefront for promoting Chinese martial arts in the Western world since the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
With the continual discovery of more medieval and Renaissance fighting manuals, the practice of Historical European Martial Arts and other Western Martial Arts have been growing [ citation needed ] in popularity across the United States and Europe.
On 29 November , UNESCO inscribed Taekkyon onto its Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity List. Many styles of Indian martial arts were banned by the colonial authorities during the period of British rule in India , which led to a decline in their popularity. Other Indian martial art, such as Silambam , while not widely practiced in India, continue to be practiced in other countries in the Indian cultural sphere such as Indonesia and Malaysia.
Many other Indian martial arts such as Mardhani Khel and Paika Akhada survived by practitioners practicing the art in secret, or by telling the colonial authorities that it was a form of dance.
While many regional Indian martial arts forms are fading into obscurity, martial arts such as Gatka and Kalaripayattu are experiencing a gradual resurgence. Testing or evaluation is important to martial artists of many disciplines who wish to determine their progression or own level of skill in specific contexts.
Students often undergo periodic testing and grading by their own teacher in order to advance to a higher level of recognized achievement, such as a different belt color or title.
The type of testing used varies from system to system but may include forms or sparring. Various forms and sparring are commonly used in martial art exhibitions and tournaments.
Some competitions pit practitioners of different disciplines against each other using a common set of rules, these are referred to as mixed martial arts competitions.
Rules for sparring vary between art and organization but can generally be divided into light-contact , medium-contact , and full-contact variants, reflecting the amount of force that should be used on an opponent.
These types of sparring restrict the amount of force that may be used to hit an opponent, in the case of light sparring this is usually to 'touch' contact, e. a punch should be 'pulled' as soon as or before contact is made.
In medium-contact sometimes referred to as semi-contact the punch would not be 'pulled' but not hit with full force.
As the amount of force used is restricted, the aim of these types of sparring is not to knock out an opponent; a point system is used in competitions.
A referee acts to monitor for fouls and to control the match, while judges mark down scores, as in boxing.
Particular targets may be prohibited, certain techniques may be forbidden such as headbutting or groin hits , and fighters may be required to wear protective equipment on their head, hands, chest, groin, shins or feet. Some grappling arts, such as aikido, use a similar method of compliant training that is equivalent to light or medium contact.
In some styles such as fencing and some styles of taekwondo sparring , competitors score points based on the landing of a single technique or strike as judged by the referee, whereupon the referee will briefly stop the match, award a point, then restart the match.
Alternatively, sparring may continue with the point noted by the judges. Some critics of point sparring feel that this method of training teaches habits that result in lower combat effectiveness.
Lighter-contact sparring may be used exclusively, for children or in other situations when heavy contact would be inappropriate such as beginners , medium-contact sparring is often used as training for full contact. Full-contact sparring or competition, where strikes or techniques are not pulled but used with full force as the name implies, has a number of tactical differences from light and medium-contact sparring.
It is considered by some to be requisite in learning realistic unarmed combat. In full-contact sparring, the aim of a competitive match is to knock out the opponent or to force the opponent to submit. Where scoring takes place it may be a subsidiary measure, only used if no clear winner has been established by other means; in some competitions, such as the UFC 1 , there was no scoring, though most now use some form of judging as a backup.
Nearly all mixed martial arts organizations such as UFC , Pancrase , Shooto use a form of full-contact rules as do professional boxing organizations and K Kyokushin karate requires advanced practitioners to engage in bare-knuckled, full-contact sparring allowing kicks, knees and punching although punching to the head is disallowed while wearing only a karate gi , mouthguard , groin guard for males , or chest guard worn under the karate gi for females.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu and judo matches do not allow striking, but are full-contact in the sense that full force is applied in the permitted grappling and submission techniques.
Competitions held by World Taekwondo requires the use of Headgear and padded vest, but are full contact in the sense that full force is applied to strikes to the head and body, and win by knockout is possible.
Martial arts have crossed over into sports when forms of sparring become competitive, becoming a sport in its own right that is dissociated from the original combative origin, such as with western fencing. The Summer Olympic Games includes judo, taekwondo, western archery, boxing, javelin, wrestling and fencing as events, while Chinese wushu recently failed in its bid to be included, but is still actively performed in tournaments across the world.
Practitioners in some arts such as kickboxing and Brazilian jiu-jitsu often train for sport matches, whereas those in other arts such as aikido generally spurn such competitions. Some schools believe that competition breeds better and more efficient practitioners, and gives a sense of good sportsmanship.
Others believe that the rules under which competition takes place have diminished the combat effectiveness of martial arts or encourage a kind of practice which focuses on winning trophies rather than a focus such as cultivating a particular moral character.
The question of "which is the best martial art" has led to inter style competitions fought with very few rules allowing a variety of fighting styles to enter with few limitations.
This was the origin of the first Ultimate Fighting Championship tournament later renamed UFC 1: The Beginning in the USA inspired by the Brazilian Vale tudo tradition and along with other minimal rule competitions, most notably those from Japan such as Shooto and Pancrase , have evolved into the combat sport of Mixed Martial Arts MMA.
Some martial artists compete in non-sparring competitions such as breaking or choreographed routines of techniques such as poomse , kata and aka , or modern variations of the martial arts which include dance-influenced competitions such as tricking.
Martial traditions have been influenced by governments to become more sport-like for political purposes; the central impetus for the attempt by the People's Republic of China in transforming Chinese martial arts into the committee-regulated sport of wushu was suppressing what they saw as the potentially subversive aspects of martial training, especially under the traditional system of family lineages.
Martial arts training aims to result in several benefits to trainees, such as their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Through systematic practice in the martial arts a person's physical fitness may be boosted strength, stamina, speed, flexibility, movement coordination, etc.
as the whole body is exercised and the entire muscular system is activated. For this reason, a number of martial arts schools have focused purely on therapeutic aspects, de-emphasizing the historical aspect of self-defense or combat completely. According to Bruce Lee , martial arts also have the nature of an art, since there is emotional communication and complete emotional expression.
Some traditional martial concepts have seen new use within modern military training. Perhaps the most recent example of this is point shooting which relies on muscle memory to more effectively use a firearm in a variety of awkward situations, much the way an iaidoka would master movements with their sword.
During the World War II era William E. Fairbairn and Eric A. Sykes were recruited by the Special Operations Executive SOE to teach their martial art of Defendu itself drawing on Western boxing and Jujutsu and pistol shooting to UK, US, and Canadian special forces.
The book Kill or Get Killed , written by Colonel Rex Applegate , was based on the Defendu taught by Sykes and Fairbairn.
Both Fairbairn's Get Tough and Appelgate's Kill or Get Killed became classic works on hand-to-hand combat. Traditional hand-to-hand, knife, and spear techniques continue to see use in the composite systems developed for today's wars.
Examples of this include European Unifight , the US Army 's Combatives system developed by Matt Larsen, the Israeli army 's KAPAP and Krav Maga , and the US Marine Corps 's Marine Corps Martial Arts Program MCMAP. Unarmed dagger defenses identical to those found in the manual of Fiore dei Liberi and the Codex Wallerstein were integrated into the U.
Army's training manuals in [37] and continue to influence today's systems along with other traditional systems such as eskrima and silat. The rifle-mounted bayonet which has its origin in the spear , has seen use by the United States Army , the United States Marine Corps , and the British Army as recently as the Iraq War.
Many martial arts are also seen and used in Law Enforcement hand-to-hand training. For example, the Tokyo Riot Police's use of aikido. Martial arts since the s has become a significant industry, a subset of the wider sport industry including cinema and sports television.
Hundreds of millions of people worldwide practice some form of martial art. Web Japan sponsored by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs claims there are 50 million karate practitioners worldwide. Martial arts equipment can include that which is used for conditioning, protection and weapons.
Specialized conditioning equipment can include breaking boards , dummy partners such as the wooden dummy , and targets such as punching bags and the makiwara. Protective equipment for sparring and competition includes boxing gloves , headgear and mouthguards.
Asian martial arts experienced a surge of popularity in the West during the s, and the rising demand resulted in numerous low quality or fraudulent schools. Fueled by fictional depictions in martial arts movies, this led to the ninja craze of the s in the United States.
In the seventies, lower ranks kyu began to be given colorful belts to show progress. This proved to be commercially viable and colored-belt systems were adopted in many martial arts degree mills also known as McDojos and belt factories as a means to generate additional cash.
