Martial Arts

Martial arts are developed systems and traditions of combat and physical conditioning practiced for a variety of reasons such as self-defense; military applications; competition; mental, physical, and spiritual development; and entertainment or the preservation of a group's cultural heritage and traditions.

Some 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 soldiers.
