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".

Most martial arts were originally intended to be used for serious fighting, but in the modern age they are mainly practised as [[sport]]s, with strictly codified rules; indeed some, such as [[Judo]], were developed from other martial arts purely for sporting purposes. Many people, especially [[women]], also learn martial arts for [[self-defense]].
Stylised forms of martial arts, especially [[kung fu]], are widely found in [[cinema]]. Martial arts movies are so widespread that they are often considered a genre in their own right.
