This article is from the Martial Arts FAQ, by Matthew Weigel faq@idempot.net with numerous contributions by others.
This is a question with many, many answers---some could say that there
are as many styles as there are martial artists. So, we'd like to
introduce some Schools and Styles that will give you a basic
familiarity with the world of martial arts. The Arts are listed
alphabetically.
Important note: This information is true to the best of the knowledge
of those who wrote the descriptions of the various arts. If your
style has only a small write up or none at all and you have enough
information on it to make a good FAQ entry, write it up in the form
shown below and send it to faq@idempot.net.
If you have a question about a particular style or its writeup, one
option is to look in the next section for who contributed to the art's
writeup, and send e-mail to them. Otherwise, comment to
faq@idempot.net.
