About this listen

I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful, and profitable.

When most people hear the phrase martial arts, they usually think of those of the Far East, and it is true that most of the ancient martial arts that people have heard of did originate there. However, most countries also developed fighting skills may centuries ago. For example, boxing and wrestling featured in the Olympic Games in Greece thousands of years ago.

However, there are also more modern recognised martial arts like French kick-boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Korean Tae Kwando and Japanese Aikido. If you search online for "x martial art," where X is your target country, you will discover more.

So far, we have only mentioned physical martial arts. There are also others like archery and javelin throwing. In other words, most people's understanding on the phrase "martial arts" is too limited. One should think of "martial" as war(fare) and "arts" as skills or methods. It opens up the scope of the words.

The information in this book on various aspects of martial arts, both Eastern and Western, is organised into 16 chapters of about 500-600 words each.
