The term ‘martial arts’ covers a wide range of disciplines in one-on-one fighting, including boxing, wrestling, and, not least, many oriental fighting disciplines.

Often it is the Asian disciplines that come to mind when we think of martial arts - kung fu, karate, judo, taekwondo, kendo, etc.

In recent decades, different types of extreme martial arts have become popular. These are tournaments with very few rules, but it is almost always forbidden to target the eyes, throat, groin, and sometimes knees of the opponent.

What types of martial arts exist, and how do you train such disciplines? What can we learn from martial arts, and how can we use it? Keynotes on martial arts address questions like these and more.
