The origins of martial arts are shrouded in mystery, although we know that they began in the Orient, probably thousands of years ago. From Karate to Kung Fu, Judo to Ju-Jitsu, these arts were originally used as a way of fighting in single combat, and are now practiced all over the world. This introduction to the sport explains where martial arts originated, how different disciplines vary, and describes a few basic moves for beginners.
