Collection: Martial Arts

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.

The  term martial art has become associated with the fighting arts of East Asia; originated chiefly in Japan, Korea, and China as forms of self-defence or attack, such as judo, karate, and kendo.
