Martial Arts, as defined by Wikipedia are codified systems and traditions of combat practiced for a number of reasons
such as self-defense; military and law enforcement applications; competition; physical, mental, and spiritual development;
entertainment; and the preservation of a nation's intangible cultural heritage.
Although the term martial art has become associated with the fighting arts of East Asia, it originally referred to the
combat systems of Europe as early as the 1550s. The term is derived from Latin and means "arts of Mars", the Roman god of
war. Some authors have argued that fighting arts or fighting systems would be more appropriate on the basis that many
martial arts were never "martial" in the sense of being used or created by professional warriors.
