But hey since you're looking for the definition... Here ya go...

Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat. Today, martial arts are studied for various reasons including combat skills, fitness, self-defense, sport, self-cultivation (meditation), mental discipline, character development and building self-confidence. A practitioner of martial arts is referred to as a martial artist.



Now who would've thought there was some kind of CULTURE behind it all...
