I know about so many asian martial arts, because that primaraly where martial arts typicaly originated from, and in old time, n most asian countries, there were martial arts like Kung Fu and Kenjutsu that taught how to use a sword, just like hand-to-hand cobat martial ways. But in europe, during mediviel and napoleon times, you know, up until guns were used officially in battle, how did people like knights and even revolutionary war soilders learn to use swords? For example, Samurai learn Kenjutsu, a long martial art that teaches how to use a katana, and Kung Fu the same with swords and sabres, but what about europeans in old times, i know that there really weren't any hand-to-hand martial arts in europe, but how did they learn swordsmanship? Sme kind of martial art? Are there even any European martial art, i know there are African martial arts, but what about such an advanced culture such as europes?

My girlfriend's dad offered to give me free of charge, specialized training in Chinese martial arts ('I want my daughter to be protected'). However he did add that his method of training is traditional and 'I will not be going easy on you'. I'm keen to take his offer, but are there any basics I need to know about martial arts so I won't be too sorely humiliated?

Has anyone ever torn an intercostal muscle or oblique while sparring or in competition...maybe even a cartilage tear on the ribs? If so how long did it take to heal and how did you treat it? I have a nasty strain on my right side, and I'm guessing I strained a muscle in the area or tore an intercostal. I'm not in terrible pain as I was on the day the injury occurred, but I do feel that slight pain when taking a deep breath, coughting, or apply too much pressure...I read I should take about 2-4 weeks off and the injury will take about 6 weeks to heal...any tips are help determining what the injury actually is!

I mean, are some things he did in his movies fake?
For e.g: in the movie "The Big Boss" when he jumps over a fence.

It had been several years since I worked out on a heavy bag and I felt pretty good after my workout. That evening my leg started aching and for the last couple of days it's been really hurting me. It feels like the ball socket in my hip wants to pop out. Did I strain the muscle or is it possible that I cracked the joint? It hurts pretty bad but I don't want to waste a trip to the dr if I don't have to.

Although this question is asked often, I have a more specific request in mind.

I am caught between the urge to learn to fight with the katana (as seen in various movies) andjust weaponless hand-to-hand. but as far as self defense goes you're not exactly allowed to carry an obvious sword aroun with you everywhere you go. I'd still love to learn though

Where should I start, considering a weapon form
And where would i start if i wanted a self defense that turns an opponents force against them

What is your favorite Judo throw (takedown for non judoka) and what other throws work with it?

For example I like Osoto Gari and if I'm not going to land it I try to switch tai otoshi. I find that if my osoto gari doesn't work I'm position for tai otoshi.
