is the native american martial arts?

Question

every body has a martial

Answer 1

The native Americans did have their own martial arts.
Different tribes practiced different things.
Some tribes didn't believe in killing humans so their arts involved throws. When a person was thrown to the ground they "lost". And this was in actual combat.
Other tribes didn't have this same belief and they practiced brutal arts. Many of their arts resembled wrestling.

Answer 3

Any type of Warfare is a Martial Art.
Martial Art means Military Warfare.

Answer 4

Being Native myself, We did not have a systematized method.

We are just Warriors.

That being said, The US military adapted the strategies we used against them and used them in the Viet Nam War. They called it guerilla warfare. It is a well known fact.

Yeah, we are Warriors. No, we don't have a systematized art. Just the natural instinct to stay alive. That is why the white man was gladly giving us blankets and clothing that belonged to the Europeans struck with the Plague. It was part of the plan to make us extinct.

We are the Chosen People. We can never become extinct... martial art or not.

Answer 5

There may not be a formalized "system" in place but there certainly would be training, even if it was just hunting skills, that could crossover into combat arts.

As for Agnostic Front, that you have an inclination to be a moron is obvious. Martial arts are war arts. Armed and unarmed training, strategy and tactics, etc are all martial arts. Martial arts is NOT exclusively physical combat. Try researching a subject before you answer with such certainty.

Answer 6

Most of the native martial culture of America was based upon skills gained while hunting, or wrestling. Hence the term indian wrestling. There were some taught skills, but most involved strategy as opposed to actual formulated movements.

Agnostic Front , obviously has no idea what he is talking about.

Answer 7

American Indians excelled at wrestling but boxing type fighting was unknown to them. It was the European fur trappers and miners who introduced the concept of 'punching' to the American Indians.

The American Indian possessed all the neolithic weaponry (spears, stone axes, stone knives, clubs, etc.) to both hunt and wage war against each other. But they did not possess any systematic fighting methodology as occured in the far east or western Europe (e.g. Quaterstaffs in England).

Yet the American Indian contribution to European fighting methods was a nasty wrestling method which turned 'Catch Wrestling' into the All-American 'ROUGH & TUMBLE' of the early 1800s mid-west.

Answer 8

Navajo had fighting techniques. Above post about peaceful Indians not killing each other is laughable. Another brainwashed person from indoctrination U. My evidence lies at the bottom of Aztec, Incan and Mayan human sacrifice pits.

Here is a clip of alligator wrestling. I would rather fight the biggest human than an average sized alligator.

Answer 9

^^ martial art does not mean military warfare. that's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard. Martial arts are a system of practices used for physical combat. Martial is a term used to depict an inclination to war, art is obvious. The art of war. Ring a bell?
