Public Comments

1. Neither, Kung fu and Karate started in India and travelled as Buddhism spread from India.
2. the most common held theory at the mo is that m/a actually originated in India. The trade routes to the east were not ideal places to travel, monks used this route and it is they who started m/a.
3. Neither martial arts originated from the middle east
4. Wise one say,,,,,,,,,,Falls from gental bird who fly with no wing, From ninja who walk with no feet, who breath with no mouth and who speak with no mouth. OR aichant China.,,,,,,
5. it came from india by a man named Bodhidharma, he travelled to china and taught sme budda fella and thats where karate kicked off
6. Okinawa,Japan......and other information abot martial arts it was in 17th century , taekwondo and karate are both martial arts but taekwondo started in korea around 50 B.C and karate and about fighting is the last option for solving a conflict in real life.
7. China
8. The term itself needs clarifying as most cultures have some form of "self defense" style that could be claimed as martial arts. Then you have travel which could influence an exisiting style which evolves into a new one. So, the answer is both and neither depending on your definition.
9. Martial Arts is from China. But, people who moved from china to different places such as Korea and Japan altered it to make it their own style. Thats why we have Judo and like Tae Kwon Do.
10. japan, karate is from japan.
