Martial arts is an ancient tradition of combat practiced for
self-defense, competition, physical, mental and spiritual development.
Martial arts began over 3,000 years ago in Sri Lanka, gradually
spreading to China, India, Korea, the West, and the United States.
Martial arts teachers have passed the tradition down from generation to
generation, teaching the arts of karate, kung fu, jiu-jitsu, aikido,
taekwondo, judo, and others. Although many of these practices include
throwing, kicking, and punching, the physical side of these skills is
only one element.
