Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: martial adj., art n.¹

Etymology: < martial adj. + art n.¹, after either Japanese bu-gei (8th cent.; 1603 as buguey in Vocabulario da Lingoa de Iapam; < bu- military affairs + gei art, craft, accomplishment) or Japanese bu-jutsu (1741 or earlier) < bu- + jutsu art, technique, skill, craft: compare jujitsu n.The elements forming the Japanese compounds bu-gei and bu-jutsu are all < Middle Chinese; the compounds are < the Middle Chinese forms of Chinese wǔyì skill in martial arts and Chinese wǔshù wushu n. respectively.

Chiefly in plural. Any of various disciplines or sports, mainly of East Asian origin, which arose as forms of self-defence or attack, such as judo, karate, kendo, kung fu, and tae kwon do. In quot. 1920 more generally: the fighting arts of the warrior. Frequently attributive.Martial arts encompass both armed and unarmed forms of combat, as well as non-combative styles. Though frequently practised for sport or exercise, martial arts traditionally emphasize spiritual training and the unity of body and mind. In the Japanese tradition, the seven martial arts are fencing, spearmanship, archery, horse riding, jujitsu, the use of firearms, and military strategy; karate is not considered one of the martial arts.
