CBL - 1 Martial Arts To
follow is my report on martial arts in Asia. This a very interesting subject,
and a very good report. It will describe martial arts and some types of
martial arts. It will also say where they originated from. The term
"martial arts" is a general term used to describe general types of fighting.
Most martial arts practised today came from China, Japan, and Korea.
There are hundreds of types of martial arts, each divided into specific
styles or systems. Technically, martial arts fall into two categories:
percussive, and non-percussive. In percussive martial arts such as
Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and Kung-Fu, people strike with their hands, feed,
elbows, and head. This type of martial arts is very aggressive. On
the other hand, in non-percussive martial arts, such as Judo, involve
throwing, locking, and neutralising the opponent. They are far less
aggressive. Kung-Fu is an interesting type of martial art, the origins of
which are unknown. Some historians believe it started as early as 1500
BC There are two major types of Japanese martial arts. They are
Bujitsu, and Budo. The bujitsu martial art is a relatively new one. It
emphasises combat and willingness to face death as a matter of honour.
Budo, which was started during the late 1800's, focuses on
developing moral and aesthetic developments. Karate-do and Judo are
forms of Budo. People who learn budo learn it to use it only as a last
resort. Another martial art that developed in Japan is ninjitsu, which
means "the art of stealing in!" People who practice ninjitsu are called
ninjas. Ninjitsu was developed in the late 1200's. At that time, ninjas
were masters of all armed and unarmed combat. Although the
emperors banned ninjitsu in the 1600's, it was still practised secretly, to
keep the value it possesses. Ninjitsu gained world attention in the
1980's. This was a report about martial arts in Asia. It listed them,
and where and when they originated. I hope you enjoyed reading this

report.
