    Introduction

    Martial arts are codified systems and traditions of combat practiced for a number of reasons
    such as self-defense; military and law enforcement applications; competition; physical, mental,
    and spiritual development; entertainment; and the preservation of a nation's intangible cultural
    heritage.
    Although the term martial art has become associated with the fighting arts of East Asia, it
    originally referred to the combat systems of Europe as early as the 1550s. The term is derived
    from Latin and means "arts of Mars", the Roman god of war. Some authors have argued
    that fighting arts or fighting systems would be more appropriate on the basis that many martial
    arts were never "martial" in the sense of being used or created by professional warriors

    Martial arts may be categorized using a variety of criteria, including:


    1. Traditional/historical arts vs. contemporary styles: e.g., folk wrestling compared to
    modern hybrid martial arts.
    2. Techniques taught armed vs. unarmed, and within these categories
    - armed: by type of weapon (swordsmanship, stick fighting etc.)
    Armed
    The traditional martial arts that cover armed combat often encompass a wide
    spectrum of melee weapons, including bladed weapons and polearms. Such traditions
    include eskrima, silat, kalaripayat, kobudo, and historical European martial arts,
    especially those of the German Renaissance. Many Chinese martial arts also feature
    weapons as part of their curriculum.
    Sometimes, training with one specific weapon may be considered a style in its
    own right, especially in the case of Japanese martial arts, with disciplines such as
    kenjutsu and kendo (sword), bojutsu (staff), and kyūdō (archery). Similarly, modern
    martial arts and sports include modern fencing, stick-fighting systems like canne de
    combat, and modern competitive archery.
    - unarmed: by type of combat (grappling vs. striking, stand-up fighting vs. ground
    fighting)
    Unarmed
    Unarmed martial arts can be broadly grouped into those focusing on strikes, those
    focusing on grappling, and those that cover both fields, often described as hybrid martial
    arts.
    Strikes
    Punching: Boxing, Wing Chun, Karate
    Kicking: Taekwondo, Capoeira, Savate
    Others using strikes: Lethwei, Muay Thai, Kung Fu, Pencak Silat, Kalaripayattu
    Grappling
    Throwing: Hapkido, Judo, Sumo, Wrestling, Aikido
    Joint lock/Chokeholds/Submission holds: Judo, Jujutsu, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Sambo, Kung
    Fu
    Pinning Techniques: Judo, Wrestling, Aikido
    3. By application or intent: self-defense, combat sport, choreography or demonstration of
    forms, physical fitness, meditation, etc.
    4. Within Chinese tradition: "external" vs. "internal" styles

    By application or intent
    Combat-oriented
    A combat sport, or fighting sport, is a competitive contact sport that usually involves
    one-on-one combat. In many combat sports, a contestant wins by scoring more points than the
    opponent or by disabling the opponent. Common combat sports include mixed martial arts,
    boxing, wrestling, judo, fencing, savate, kickboxing, Muay Thai, Lethwei, Sanda, Tae Kwon Do,
    Capoeira, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Sambo, Sumo and Kyokushin.
    Self-defense (self-defence in some varieties of English) is a countermeasure that involves
    defending the health and well-being of oneself from harm.[1] The use of the right of self-defense
    as a legal justification for the use of force in times of danger is available in many jurisdictions.
