From ancient myths and legends to historical revolutions, martial arts have been shaped by many factors. Sometimes it’s often difficult to trace the evolution of an art because of the lack of historical records. Any one knows about the history?

Interestingly enough there was an Indian man who went to china to teach Buddhist monks how to defend themselves against bandits which gave birth to shaolin kung fu. Still the most famous type of martial arts would be the chinese ones because of the movies but any form of military organization has trained in "martial arts" and not just the chinese ones with weird poses. :)

@sunilparthan Never was good with names :) Still it was surprising when I discovered that fact. I thought the Chinese were the ones who invented martial arts :)
