    Andy Murray Sadly passed away. Rest In Peace.

    It's a sport with a lot of art behind it, originating in the American format from Karate.

    You could say the art is in the skill involved, just as in the 'sweet science' of boxing?

    I knew that.....

    But if you consider Kickboxing to not be an art, and Judo to be an art, whats that saying? They are both sports.

    Pardon? I don't know much?

    Take a look at your grammar and spelling buddy.


    Wisdom, if you don't treat people more respectfully you will get banned.

    Why exactly can't a sport be an art?

    Wisdom, your profile says your art of choice is TKD, which is a martial sport all its own.

    And keep the insults to yourself, or everyone will see the inherent irony of your screen name.

    A martial art is an art of fighting period. If you practice in a way of fighting, you doin' MA. Thats why there are more martial arts that one can count (go ahead and try). Kick Boxing and Judo both can be used in a fight, both are practiced, both are arts, both are martial. TA-DA!!:D

    Martial art
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
    Since kick boxing has standard techniques for kicking, blocking, punching, evasions makes it a systematized style of fighting. This is the only attribute required for something to be considered a martial art.

    Yeesh I guess that means Turkish wrestling is a MA as well. Oh well, you win some and you lose some :).

    Kick Boxing and Martial Arts

    The way I see it is that Martial Arts revolve around fighting or defending oneself from harm. In Kickboxing, TKD and Judo you do do this pretty well if trained properly.
