Whenever an individual decides to learn how to protect themselves and learn self defense, martial arts come to mind. Martial Arts practiced all over the world and have been around for many centuries, although they really became famous around the time of Bruce Lee.

Bruce invented the style of Jeet Kune Do, which involves very fast strikes with amazing counter defenses. Once people began to see how fast Bruce Lee could move, they became interested in martial arts and explored how it could benefit them. Martial arts are broken down into specific styles. The style all depends on where and what you study.

A lot of cultures and countries offer martial arts they originated, developed, and perfected.  Brazil offers Brazilian Jui-Jitsu, Japan has Karate, Thailand has Muay Thai, France has Savate, and China has Shaolin. Keep in mind that each style uses various techniques.
