	Martial Arts Encyclopedia Article, Information, History and Biography @ LocalColorArt.com
		Martial arts practice, with or without actual emphasis in self-defense specific techniques, is a recognized way to both teach positioning strategy and to boost self-confidence thus, subjectively, martial arts in general could be regarded, to some extent, as a kind of self-defense system.
		European martial arts have mostly adapted to changing technology and are truer to the English meaning of that phrase, so that while their descendants still exist, martial arts are focused on things like flying helicopters and infantry tactics for riflemen.
		As different martial arts often have differing goals, it is difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of various martial arts based on one general standard or method; it is arguably impossible to directly compare the arts with fundamentally different domains of practice, such as Kendo against Tae Kwon Do.
