Do you know why karate, judo, kung fu, Tai chi, Wushu, Tae Kwan Do, and other similar forms of combat are classified as Martial Arts? In other words, why games, where individuals do hand-to-hand combat or fight with swords or batons, are not the games of fighting, instead classified as arts? That's because in ancient times, especially in Asia, war was some sort of art form.
