Martial Arts-OOC

Description

Martial Arts are codified systems and traditions of combat practices, which are practiced for a number of reasons: as self-defence, military and law enforcement applications, mental and spiritual development; as well as entertainment and the preservation of a nation's intangible cultural heritage. Although the term martial art has become associated with the fighting arts of eastern 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", after the Roman god of war.
