All martial arts, except Boxing, are from Asia?

Posted at: 2014-09-13 
There's tons of martial arts from elsewhere, there are still alot from asia though. There's quite a few from Europe, lots of sword arts.

That is not correct. Here is a list of several martial arts that are not from Asia.

1)Pankration-Greece

2)Native American wrestling-North America

3) Catch Wrestling-North America & Europe

4) Glima-Iceland

5) African martial arts: Dambe, Engolo, Istunka, Lutte Traditionnelle, Modern Tahtib, Musangwe

Nguni stick fighting, Nuba fighting and Tahtib.

6) Capoeira- Brazil

7) Savate-France

8) Bartitsu-U.K.

9) Kapu Kuialua-Hawaii (USA)

10) American Kenpo-Hawaii-(USA)

The term "martial arts" if vague. You need to specify which era such as traditional or modern. I'm guessing you're referring to traditional martial arts.

For traditional styles most countries have their own systems. Some of them take from others due to neighboring country influences. Of all the countries in the world China is undoubtedly the powerhouse. They have the most styles that were created.

Where did you get that idea?

There are many martial arts from all over the world. Some are old, an some are very new such as the US Marines MCMAP which is clearly from the US (North America).

yes the chinese invented gun powder and in this case martial arts

all other "major" martial arts are derivitives from this ,that spread out to

different asian then past those boundaries

every country has there own martial arts styles

Savate isn't from Asia. Capoeira isn't, either. I'm sure there are plenty of others that also aren't.

No.

All people have needed to know how to fight.

Every single country has a fighting style that it has developed.

wow you should open a history book
