[edit] Tae Kwon Do

Are you sure we can't move Tae Kwon Do to this page? Maybe at least to a sports sections? How clearly can it be described when it's named Korea's National Sport? Heh' Yeah I'm only half serious

Tae Kwon Do is inspired by the conbination of Karate and Judo and practiced by real people, so its history is very similiar to Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do. Hence it is an actual martial art. To those of you who think Tae Kwon Do should belong to this page, read up on its history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.216.217.239 (talk) 17:33, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moving Teras Kasi from "Movies and Television" to "Games"

--Keno 18:58, 10 November 2005 (UTC) Though the game Masters of Teräs Käsi is set in the Star Wars universe, the fighting style exists only in video games, namely Masters as well as Star Wars: Galaxies. It has never been mentioned in the movies, and is not part of the canon. I propose that this entry be moved to the games section.

Teras Kasi is also part of several Star Wars novels written by Steve Perry. So it is not just used in games, it is is also used in several of Steve Parry's star wars novels.17:17, 28 November 2006 (UTC)


--JJL, 23 November 2005 Tai Shing Pek Kwar is a real style of monkey kung fu, not (or in addition to?) a fictional one. It's the style of Paulie Zink. Does it belong here?


On Taejutsu, it was not invented by Seth McFarlane for "Family Guy", although he might have thought so at the time. Taejutsu is actually the name of the unarmed fighting style which is part of Ninjutsu. See any book by Stephen K. Hayes.

Thats Taijutsu, different spelling. Also I second the moving the Teras Kasi thing, never been in or near the movies, and I don't believe that it does have any relation or connection to the the Force, the article on it certainly says nothing about that. Lastly is Fuck You not infact a joke Mike Myers said in So I Married An Axe Murderer, not a fictional martial art from that movie? Highlandlord 10:35, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Miss Ho style

While drunken boxing is real, the drunken Miss Ho style Wong Fei Hong makes up is not.

Miss Ho is one of the eight drunken immortals of legend, and her movements are part of the Eight Immortals Style, as well as other forms of Drunken Boxing.

Also, wouldn't lightsaber fighting be broken up into the dark side and the light side?

In fact, it is mentioned in canon resources that there are seven traditional lightsaber fighting styles (or, they are mentioned up through seven), though their exploration is done entirely in non-canon.--Keno 20:47, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Naruto

What about adding the martial arts from Naruto? Tekken Taijutsu (with its swirling leaf attacks and inner gate openings), Jyuken Taijutsu with its Dim Mak-ness, etc.

[edit] CQC

I've seen references and articles that state that CQC is a real combat system and the MSG3 CQC style is simply a version with a alternative history and modified for gameplay. Not really a fictional MA. Someone should check this out.

I believe CQC is real only because I saw it on many websites describing it's origin (all are the same), The history channel, and...wikipedia >_> I'll just go ahead and remove CQC from the list.68.239.170.178 14:43, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
"CQC" is an acronym for "Close Quarters Combat". It's just a generic term for armed and unarmed close combat tactics, not a specific art, although there are several military and paramilitary organizations that use it to refer to their hand-to-hand training systems. On the other hand, the thing featured in MGS3 is a specific fictional art, albeit inspired by real-life tactics... Mo6 15:21, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RokuShiki (Six Forms)

I think that this unique martial arts form from One Piece should have an entry here in Manga/Anime section.

[edit] Fictional Arts practiced...

Browsing through the internetm I came up with various Gun Kata techniques used/ practiced in real life. Would this make it fictional?

Yes, because the art originates in a work of fiction . Some of the individual techniques portrayed are applicable to real guns, but on the whole it's pure fiction. I mean, there are people who practice lightsaber fencing and the Star Wars movies do show a few realistic (for given values of "real") moves, but that doesn't make it a real martial art, you know? :) Mo6 15:28, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Zodiac Kenshido

I'm pretty sure that the Zodiac Kenshido of 8-bit theater is actually based on the Chinese zodiac. After all, look at the wheels on these comics. There are no rabbits, monkeys, or rats in the tropical zodiac. This article tries to link it to the tropical zodiac, though, so I plan on changing it. If you have a problem with this, let me know.

[edit] Soul Caliber

What about all the fighting styles in the Soul game series? (I was surprised to find most, if not all, were fictional myself.) I believe they should be somehow mentioned in this article.

[edit] Grafitti

The Mortal Kombat section is obviously vandalized, can somebody who knows what's supposed to stand there edit it? -- _The Hiddey_ 17:00, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Drunken Master

This martial art style is rumored to exist in Chinese folklores but never in any writing that shows it is an actual martial art form. Much like a theory, not a practice. The art was solidated by Jackie Chan when he was offered to star in the movie Drunken Master. Hence the moves and techniques used in the movie were created by Jackie Chan as an original move set. So, should Drunken Master be considered as a fictional martial art since it was never in any writing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.216.217.239 (talk) 17:36, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Actually, "drunken" style fighting really does exist, and is a real martial art. It's called Zui Quan (meaning "Drunken Fist"). So it is a real martial art, and is not fictional. 151.203.184.180 (talk) 18:56, 28 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Jeet Kune Do

What about Spike Spiegel's Jeet Kune Do in Cowboy Bebop? --75.181.81.73 (talk) 09:00, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Jeet Kune Do is an actual, real martial art. This article is only for fictional martial arts. Since Jeet Kune Do is real, it wouldn't be appropiate to have it listed here. 151.203.152.122 (talk) 15:03, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
