A Martial Art can be defined as a system of techniques - physical and mental exercises developed as a successful means for self-defense, both armed and unarmed.

Not all forms of self-defense are actually considered to be martial arts. Some argue that unless warriors were using a fighting system in actual combat, it was not truly a martial art.

Additionally, there is a difference between martial art and martial sport; the sport application of a combat system is not a martial art. Not all activities designated as martial arts are martial or artistic. While some developed from warrior combat, other martial arts developed as a means for spiritual and physical development. Strictly defined, martial arts are combat arts, methods for killing an opponent inbattle.

Martial ways, or those arts that have a spiritual component go beyond combat effectiveness. Today, the martial arts are practiced for health and fitness, sport, law enforcement, spiritual benefits as well as for self-defense.

Some refer to this as the Martial Way and others refer to it as Martial Science.
Either is ok for me because to me its a life style. It depends on what you make it.

Either its recreational or its a way of life. Some treat it as natural as breathing and others as hobbies.

What is the Martial Arts to you is the question, answer it honestly and now your on your way.
