Martial Art can be defined as a mental, physical and spiritual exercises developed as a successful means for self-defense, health, sport, both armed and unarmed.

Mutual benefit must be a component. Martial arts utilize a variety of combat methods. Some fighting styles emphasize weaponless movement while others teach the use of weapons. Some martial arts focus on grappling while others put their emphasis on stand-up striking or both. Weaponless systems use hand, arm, foot, shin, elbow and knee striking, blocking techniques. Some weapons that may be used are the staff, stick, sword, knife, dagger and nunchaku, just to name a few.

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 defeating an opponent in battle. Martial ways, or, those arts that have a spiritual component, go way beyond combat effectiveness.

Today, the martial arts are practiced for health and fitness, self-improvement, sport, law enforcement, spiritual benefits as well as for self-defense.
