Martial arts or fighting arts are systems of codified
practices and traditions of training for combat.
Martial arts all have a very similar objective:
defend oneself or others from physical threat. In
addition, some martial arts are linked to beliefs
such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism,
Confucianism or Shinto while others follow a
particular code of honor. Martial arts are
considered as both an art and a science. Many
arts are also practiced competitively, most
commonly as combat sports, but may also
take the form of dance.
