'''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. ''TaeKwonDo means'' "the way of the hands and feet".
