Martial art Martial arts describes bodies of codified practices or traditions of unarmed and armed combat, often with the goal of developing both the character of the practitioner as well as the mindful, appropriate, controlled use of bodily force. The martial arts, due to a century of exaggerated, exoticized portrayals in popular media (see orientalism), has been inextricably bound in the Western imagination to East Asian cultures and people, but it would be incorrect to say the martial arts are unique to Asia. As part of the response to sport martial arts, new forms of competition are being held such as the Ultimate Fighting Champions in the U.S. or Pancrase in Japan which are also known as mixed martial arts or MMA events. www.teachersparadise.com /ency/en/wikipedia/m/ma/martial_art.html   (1608 words)

Overview of Some Other Martial Arts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) This art was derived from a military style of sumo, joranzumo, and combined with Chinese martial arts and Okinawan martial techniques. Some Chinese martial arts emphasize fighting (and are sometimes referred to as "Chinese boxing"), while others emphasize sets (sets are roughly equivalent to katas; sets are strings of patterns linked together either to demonstrate how to apply individual patterns in a combat situation or merely as an aid to memorize single patterns), or both. The Brazilian martial art of capoeira has obscure origins; perhaps it was developed by African slaves in the seventeenth century in order to escape Portuguese captors (combat training was forbidden by their Portuguese masters and so they hid their movements in the form of a dance). www3.sympatico.ca /jeffrey.muir/jeffkove.htm   (2125 words)

Yueh Hau Biography But it was in martial art movies that he found much of his fame in his pairings with some of the Shaw Brothers great female stars of the period such as Ching Ping, Feng Ying, Chiao Chiao, Lily Ho, Li Cheng and particularly Cheng Pei Pei. Despite the rapid evolution of H-K cinema in general and the martial art genre in particular, something that didn’t change much was that Yueh Hua’s key screen relationship was usually with his fellow female co-lead (except in the pair of Chang Cheh movies of course). He played a villain again for the martial art serial LUK SIU FUNG PART II, a pious but cowardly son in the trilogy FATHERLAND (80) and was the lead in GONE WITH THE WIND which narrated the changing fortunes of an immigrant from China, a role quite far-removed from his usual martial art roles. www.brns.com /pages4/yueh_hua.html   (2609 words)
