Origin of Martial Arts

In this episode, we examine the recent history of martial arts from 1900 to present, seeing how it has changed over the years.  In our exploration of this history, we see that a martial art becomes popular upon the merging of two cultures, the additions to the Olympic Games, and in recently in movies like "Enter the Dragon."  In our martial art practice, we look at how the basic punch and front kick have changed as examples of starting to use science and physics to explain velocity and power.   We also dive into the basic arm bar grappling move to add to your maneuvers.  Lastly, we explain the quote from the late Bruce Lee: "Be Water, My Friend."
