The Martial Arts is a comprehensive art. All the skills of hands and leg's motions are used. This art goes back to ancient legends which may be true or untrue .stories about this art and the people who developed it have increased .It is also said that it  is a   Chinese art. Some others say it is a pharos ant. Legends have told us about the art of self-defense and how strong it is. We should know that this art was not practiced or trained in training halls or training clubs at the beginning. However, it is time to take this art for granted. This art was practiced in temples and the ornaments on the temples, walls and which we see nowadays are a good proof a on explaining and clarifying the skills of such motions and they tell their improvement in the methods of self-defense either partly or completely. We know that there are lots of temples such as the temples of ancient Egyptians, The Greeks, The Romans, The Persians, The Indians, The Chinese…. And so or. All these are a good clue on the power of using the movements of hands and legs (the apparent power) and mixing it with the inner power and showing those powers in competitions in front of the kings of earlier civilizations. Since the beginning of creation Man could defend himself using what he saw of defense and attack ways which were used by wild animals in order to be able to protect himself from any enemy to keep alive . Those me thuds were improved and many schools appeared to train human beings to fight and defend themselves. Those schools were carried from civilization to another, from land to another and from countries to others till they were taken by the countries which dominated at those times. Each country developed them and gave them the name that suits because they were earlier named by the name of the teacher who used to train any fighting art he has and can train. competitions used to take place between schools and trainers to show the school's power. It is time now to the youngsters in the world to know the origin of this art and discover every thing about it to be able to practice it depending on training and scientific basics (the orically and scientifically). Yousrgesters should have a clear view about the importance of this art about its physical and mental sides . they should be trained on competitions (championships) under one law accompanied by scientific researches that help such law till they achieve more and more victories in the international competitions.
