About this deck
"Martial arts" is a 19th-century English translation of 武術 (bujutsu) — the technical fighting skills of Japan's warrior class — but the term has come to cover an enormous family of unarmed and weapon traditions across East Asia, with later branches in Brazil, Russia, France, and the United States. Key sections include: Martial Arts.; Opening What we mean by martial arts.; Chapter I Shaolin and the Chinese arts.; Chapter II Karate — Okinawa to the world.; Chapter III Judo and Kano.; Chapter IV Jiu-jitsu — the ancestor.; Chapter V Taekwondo — Korea after 1945.; Chapter VI Muay Thai and the Southeast Asian arts.; Chapter VII Bruce Lee.; Chapter VIII Hong Kong cinema and the kung fu film..
