Jujutsu and Jutsu

Martial Arts History

The history of martial arts is long and colorful. Dating back as far as 5000 B.C., it owes most of its outstanding growth to its practice in Asian cultures. While other countries also had some form of self defense and martial arts, it was the Asian influence that has made it what it is today. Many historians believe that martial arts were first practiced by the Indian monk Bodhidharma. However, China more than likely was its original birthplace. Soon afterwards it spread to Japan and then to Korea with such styles as the ever popular Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido. Since then the Martial Arts have grown and today there are as many divese styles as one can imagine!
