| | | | | Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Chinese martial arts - Chinese martial arts in movies In modern times, Chinese martial arts have spawned a popular genre of cinema. The films of Bruce Lee were instrumental in the initial burst of Chinese martial arts' popularity in the West, and lately, actors such as Jet Li, Jackie Chan, have appeared in many Western films.

| | | | | Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Martial arts - Comparisons between martial arts It is common to compare the goals, teaching methods and the techniques of different fighting systems in order to understand their similarities and differences. Such comparisons tend to be controversial when there is a lack of format in which a direct and objective comparison is possible. In addition to physical combat, many martial arts have spiritual or philosophical aspirations, such as the various Chinese, Japanese and Korean martial arts that emphasise traditional Confucian teaching methods. Some systems are sports oriented, such as Judo ...

| | | | | Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Martial arts - Overview There are many styles and schools of martial arts; broadly speaking, they share a common goal: to physically defeat a person or defend oneself. Some Eastern martial arts have a tradition of being about more than simple fighting, which is perhaps why their practice has been seen as worth preserving in the face of their military obsolescence in modern technological culture. Some believe that it is worthwhile practicing martial arts, because the principles of warriorship and understanding of tactics and strategy remain applicable in modern warfare. Certain martial arts, such as T'ai Chi Ch'uan, may also be practiced to maint ...

| | | | | | Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Martial arts - Testing and Competition In general, testing or evaluation in some form is important to martial art practitioners of many disciplines who wish to determine their own level of skill in specific contexts. Students within individual martial art systems often undergo periodic testing and grading by their own teacher in order to advance to a higher level of recognized achievement, such as a different belt color or title. The type of testing used varies from system to system but may include forms or sparring. Sparring can generally be divided into light- ...

| | | | | Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Martial arts - Martial arts and self defense Self-defense strategies formed the basis of numerous martial arts, especially East Asian martial arts, which usually provide self-defense classes as part of their curricula.
Many schools of self-defense also teach strategies aimed at avoiding or defusing physical confrontations. The curriculum for such courses commonly teach positioning strategies and strengthening the defender's self-confidence, which is assumed to discourage some physical attacks.
Martial arts practice, with or without actual emphasis in self-defense specific ...

| | | | | Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Martial arts - Martial arts as sport On the subject of competition, martial artists vary wildly. Practitioners in some arts such as Boxing, Taekwondo, Judo, Muay Thai, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu often train for sport matches in those arts, whereas those in other arts such as Aikido and Krav Maga generally spurn such competitions. Some schools believe that competition breeds better and more efficient practitioners, and gives a sense of good sportsmanship. Others believe that the rules under which competition takes place have removed the combat effectiveness of martial arts or encou ...
