  • There are generally four types of established Martial Arts Focuses, known as Striking, Grappling, Weaponry, and Mixed/Hybrid. Striking and Grappling are meant for unarmed styles only. It should be noted that some unarmed styles can make the occasional use of weapons, but if these weapons are not the focus of the style, they would still fall under Striking or Grappling. Mental disciplines are also included as martial arts on this wiki for ease of categorization. * Striking Striking styles focus on attacking an opponent with the intent of causing harm. Common techniques include punches, kicks, and headbutts. Real world examples: Karate, Muay Thai, and Boxing. * Grappling Grappling styles focus on the gripping, handling, and controlling of an opponent without the use of striking. Common techniques include throws, joint locks, and pinning moves. Real world examples: Aikido, Sumo, and Wrestling. * Weaponry Weaponry styles focus on the implementation of a weapon of some kind into the fighting. Bladed weapons are the most common to see used for these styles, but almost any weapon will do. Real world examples: Kendo, Eskrima, and Fencing. * Mental Mental styles focus more on the state of one's mind rather than one's body, although many times this can include physical exercises to help focus the mind. Real world examples: Kundalini Yoga, Tai Chi Chuan, and Kinhin. * Mixed/Hybrid Mixed/Hybrid can be used to designate any style that focuses on a combo of any of the other four with relatively equal weight. Real world examples: Ninjutsu, Sambo, and the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program.
