the Martial Journey
Please come in, have a seat and join us.
We are just getting started. I was about to address the question,
"What exactly is the Martial way?"
while exploring how it compares to my martial training concepts of Okii Kuma Ryu.
The Martial arts are simply combat systems comprised of practices and traditions of unarmed and armed combat.
The term "Martial arts" was translated in 1920 by Takenobu's Japanese English Dictionary from the Japanese word bu-gei or bu-jutsu which loosely translates to..
"the craft or accomplishment of military affairs"
Another definition is translated directly from the Chinese term, Wushu,
it's translation literally means, "martial art". Wushu generally refers
to all forms of Chinese martial training arts.
The term martial arts is slightly more difficult to identify or classify
in its English usage. Its strict meaning should be..
"military or warrior arts" or even "arts for military use"
If these definitions were employed then we would include such modern combat military arts as;
Dog fighter aircraft training, sniper training, and so on..
But in normal everyday usage it is generally used to refer to a
formalized system of training designed to teach one how to fight and
defense self.
To help us better under stand this
let's break it down by the English meanings of the words "Martial" and "Arts".
First is the word "Martial" meaning militarist trait and to some degree relates to war or the warrior way.
Second is "Arts", which is to give expression, or have skill acquired by experience, study and observation.
What differentiates the martial training arts from mere unarmed
brawling is the organization of their techniques into a coherent system
and the organization of effective teaching methods.
Martial disciplines can be characterized by the controlled and mindful
application of force in ways selected for the greatest effectiveness.
In this sense..
boxing
fencing
archery
wrestling
..can each be classified as martial training arts.
Some
fighting arts, such as the traditional Chinese martial arts, go beyond
simple fighting techniques and teach side disciplines such as; 
qigong acupuncture acupressure bone-setting
Traditional Chinese medicine
These side disciplines then become a natural extension of ones fighting art.
As you progress to more advanced levels, your martial training will
allow you to take advantage of a detailed knowledge of how the body
works, drastically increasing the effectiveness of a given warrior martial training art
technique.
Certain martial training arts,
such as Tai Chi Chuan, are also practiced to improve mental and/or
physical health. As such modified Tai Chi training has gained great
popularity among many health enthusiasts.
A Martial art is generally a reflection of it's founder and
teachers, this reflection thus has given birth to many different
martial art styles throughout time.
 These martial disciplines all have meanings of their own, which are expressed in different forms that range from the..
traditional to the modernancient to the scientificspiritual to the physical
For an example, I am the founder of the Warrior Training Hall and co-founder of the concepts of Warrior Street Combat Self Defense. I also practice, train and teach a warrior martial training art known as; Okii Kuma Ryu.
So, why there are so many different martial disciplines?...
...Because there are so many different types of peoples, cultures, and backgrounds in this World.
Just as there are many different martial styles, forms and systems, there are just as many versions of how they began.
Martial disciplines elsewhere in the World
Every
village and tribe around the world had a few trained fighters who
passed on their knowledge; unfortunately, it is difficult to pass on a
fighting system, so many of these have been lost as their practical
relevance declined.
 Western
civilization has helped to popularize the martial arts, and many of us
conjure images of the asian martial culture, when we think about the arts.
But in reality almost ever culture and country in the world has some
form of martial discipline. The vastness of martial disciplines are
almost indescribable
While, some generalities can be applied most cultures and countries
have their own unique spin on martial training and discipline. Over the
next few sections will discuss different concepts and training of..
Many of these martial disciplines have dedicated time to martial weapons training using their existing open hand techniques for each weapon. While others have developed entire Martial weapon disciplines for a single weapon or even groups of weapons.
