Question

Wheredi Martial Arts originate and by whom (a brief history, please be specific?

Answer 1

"Martial" refers to any thing related to war or fighting. The term "martial arts" means the art of fighting or war. Almost every culture/country that I can think of has a style of fighting or self defense they can claim as their own. I think that you may be confusing the term "martial arts" with a label for Eastern martial arts like Kung Fu or Karate.

Answer 2

believe it or not, "martial arts" started in India when farmers had enough of the abusive government guards who would use their authority and weapons (only ones allowed to carry at that time) and steal their crops and sometimes even rape their women. The laborers started developing their own body parts to use as weapons. Now, because China has always been known as business "freaks" (no disrespect) and Chinese people would travel overseas all over the world just to trade and do business, somehow they must have acquired the art and spread it. As far as when, I wouldn't even try. There's a big debate about the issue. I am a martial arts advocate and this is just me after reading few martial arts history books which I thought reliable.
