'''Martial Arts''' is the collective name given to a variety of hand-to-hand fighting styles, or fighting styles that involve weapons that are used as an extension of the body. Most fighting styles are unique to a particular culture, such as Karate to Japan, and Tae Kwon Do to Korea. While many have roots in the period BC, there are variations of the styles that evolved in the last 200 years.

Interestingly enough, Karate is more of an anti-martial art, designed to help common folk prepare to fight against martial rule, during a time of weapons bans. ''Kara te do'' means "empty hand way" referencing this style without weapons. ''Tae Kwon Do means'' "the way of the hands and feet".
