@frederico4d Actualy, romans only conquered Lusitania because they assassinated our chieftain. Not because they won a battle.

@MrGondomil kali developed in jungles where such long movements would get caught up in tree branches and such things. each art is a product of the environment that demands its evolution.

@abusabaya1925 JDP didn't exist during the battle of mactan....

@bostafffighter Yes they do. There are many many many forms of wrestling, and grappling techniques are totally into weapon use. Just look up harnischfechten for an example.

And boxers kick ass in weaponless combat.

@bostafffighter Where the hell did you get that bullshit? The Europeans learned their weapon arts the same way everyone else did..by fighting and applying what they learned.

@bostafffighter...the technical superiority of European swordsmanship was evident throughout European conquests during the Age Of Discoveries... the Ottoman Turks were outclassed by Portuguese soldiers in numerous battles in the Indian Ocean, during the 16th century...also, Japanese pirates who were trained in the art of the Samurai, were cut to ribbons by Portuguese soldiers on more than one occasion in the Indian Ocean and Pacific...Portugal didn't create a Global Empire by being wussies...

@psychedashell Ofcourse, martial arts,yoga, tai chi has been copied from animals by meditatiing people.But in Europe animals were not copied but hunted down(Caspian tiger!) it all boils down to the cold snow clad harsh climate of the Europe and the tropical forest with abundace of flora and fauna in Asia.The techiniques illustrated in the medieval manuals are borrowed from trade interaction with China and India.If you see in some of the manuals there are bearded Indians with head cover.
