-'''Martial arts''' are codified systems of both armed and weaponless, or empty-handed, skills intended to develop and increase proficiency in  combat.
-Martial arts have arisen in nearly all cultures, both through cultural transmission and independently, with some form of codified martial art, either historic or current, identifiable in virtually every culture around the world today.  The scope of martial arts is vast, and, in some sense, defies a complete [[Martial arts/Catalogs|categorization]].  The broadest breakdown would be between [[Martial arts (Eastern)|oriental]] styles, such as [[karate]], [[aikido]] and [[kung fu]]; and [[Martial arts (Western)|occidental]] styles, including [[boxing]] and [[Greco-Roman wrestling]].
