Martial Arts is a fascinating field that has been around for centuries.
The word ‘martial’ comes from Mars, the Roman god of war.
Therefore, artistic styles related to fighting in ancient Rome were called Martial. Today we know these arts as Historical European Martial Arts, or HEMA.
They were taught throughout Europe during various time periods, including the 15th century. Hence, a marital artist is a practitioner of martial arts.
Martial arts are incredibly diverse systems of codified practices and traditions. Furthermore, they share one objective: to defeat an opponent or defend oneself from physical threat.
The ways in which they do this vary greatly depending on the style practiced. Broadly speaking these disciplines can be broken down into two categories – those with self-defense purposes (such as karate) and those forms that use a weapon.
Some martial arts are linked to spiritual or religious beliefs/philosophies such as Buddhism, Daoism, or Shinto, while others have their own spiritual/non-spiritual code of honor.

Martial arts are not uniquely an Asian practice. Hand-to-hand combat was used everywhere in Europe long before it became popularized in movies, and there are even some European styles that still exist today!
One example is Savate.
Savate was developed on ships and relies heavily on footwork and fencing movements. Consequently, it has been modified over time due to the specific needs of a battlefield.
In the Americas, Native Americans have a tradition of open-handed martial arts, that includes wrestling. Hawaiians have historically practiced arts featuring small and large joint manipulation
Moreover, a mix of origins occur in the athletic movements of Capoeira that was created in Brazil by slaves, based on skills brought with them from Africa.
The different styles of martial arts have a lot in common, but one thing that sets them apart is how they teach fighting techniques.

However, some systems focus on sparring or forms (katas) – which are routines done alone and with someone else- while others prioritize self defense skills through training camps.
Martial arts have a huge variety of techniques and focuses. They can be divided into three groups: striking, grappling or weapon training.
These vary widely within each category, but all share some similar qualities, such as focus on precision over power mentality, common among softer genres like tai chi.
Finally, here is a short list of a few martial arts examples that make use of a certain area or focus:

Self defense in Colorado Springs | When it comes to self defense, there are many disciplines to choose from, so we wanted to give you our top 3 picks.
Can you guess which of these martial arts we picked as number one?
Taekwondo, or Tae Kwon Do, originated in Korea over 2,000 years ago, and is touted as one of the oldest forms of martial arts in the world. It has earned a reputation for being a competitive sport, but the martial art was originally developed for self-defense.
The name was selected for its appropriate description of the art: Tae (foot), Kwon (hand), Do (art).
Taekwondo is not only a martial art but also an international sport that has been growing in popularity for over 50 years. The technique was first introduced to America during the 1950s when a handful of pioneering master instructors travelled here from Korea and spread their culture with this beautiful form, which grows stronger every day since.
This style of martial arts emphasizes kicks over all other techniques. Since your legs are usually longer than arms, it is a great way to keep would-be attackers at bay while protecting yourself from getting too close or physical assaultive measures such as tackles and choke holds .

(also known as submission fighting, submission grappling, or sport grappling)
Grappling is a form of competition and general term for martial arts that focus on close range combat and ground fighting with the aim to obtain submission holds.
A few of the styles include:
Submission wrestling has become more popular with the rise of MMA, and is a self defense in Colorado Springs.
(also referred to as Thai boxing or the “art of eight limbs”)
The art of eight limbs is a style that combines the use of both hands and feet. It’s also known as “the way,” which was developed over time by many different cultures around the world with its own history attached to it.
But no matter what you call this self defense discipline, one thing remains true: there are few things more strategic than using your entire self in order attack or defend against an opponent.
