Where did the martial arts come from

so Judo is not that old, another Japanese propaganda about how old is their MA is, most of Japanese MP was made in 19th century.

this is a good video i like how they said its in the pyramids stick fighting an sicle fighting is also in the pyramids so is a type of eastern medicine with dolls but this should be called how karate came to america kinda bias everyone knows scholars came during the tang an grabbed as much knowledge they could took it back to japan an did what they wanted with it

i took martial arts for a while and it was cool 'cause i recognized most of the techiniques in the clips like tanada jime and ogoshi

To say that a karate or tkd can't fight is just wrong. Simple fact of the MMA is that you are limited if you train in one style. Once grappling takes place most stand up arts are like a fish out of water. They don't know what to do.

What would happen if they told helio that he could only punch and kick and had to defend against muliple people? Nobody gave him that challenge I guess. Because I once saw in a vid he said anyone can kick and punch. In all of his fights, he didn't.

Traditional karate school will teach throws and ground fighting. Karate in it's original form was a "mixed martial art" A fusion of jujitsu, kung fu, and Te( native okinawain martial arts) and most likely other styles from the main land. Just now there is a strong focus on Karate as sport where grappling is not as important. Old school point matches allowed for throws and take downs, ect, but points were only awarded for strikes.

would you happen to know about any european martial arts training schools, besides the army or marines (lol)?

Well, there /are/ Renaissance European Martial Arts schools.

thanx for posting. i despise the notion of martial arts being strictly only chinese or japanese.

nice video enjoyed it very much but what does it have to do with the Army

According to the famed Karate Grandmaster Masutatsu Oyama in his book "Advanced Karate" on pg. 13 "The oldest known records concerning combat techniques, hieroglyphic scrolls from Egyptian tombs, dating back as far as 4000 B.C."
