What Is Martial Arts: In its broadest sense, the martial arts refer to any type of combat technique, often stressing hand and foot combat. In many cases, the term is used to refer to self-defense techniques born in Asian countries, although practices from all over the world can be counted in the definition. Mental discipline and the search for enlightenment are also part and parcel of many martial arts. While some focus on using one’s feet to attack or disarm an opponent, other martial arts concentrate on the use of one’s hands or making throws to render an opponent useless. At our school we offer a well rounded program that develops the Mind, Body and Spirit of the students.
