Martial Arts Library

"Spirit first, technique second." Gichin Funakoshi

We group martial arts by what they mainly train: striking, grappling, weapons, or combined systems. The names below are the ones that stuck in writing, sport, or schools. Older fighting methods existed long before those names. Lineages are often disputed. This is not a ranking, and it is not instruction.

This is a curated library of just over fifty named arts. Schools such as Shotokan karate or sport kumite are mentioned inside the parent card, not listed as separate arts. Folk wrestling styles, Chinese family systems, and Japanese koryu schools are treated the same way.

No arts match that search in this family.
