HISTORY
The martial arts arose in the est of Asia about 500 years ago. The instructor is expected to directly supervise their students
training, and the students are expected to memorize and recite as closely as possible the rules and basic training routines of the
school. In a Confucian influenced martial art, students with more seniority are considered older brothers and sisters; those with
less seniority as younger brothers and sisters. Such clearly delineated relationships are intended to develop good character,
patience and discipline. In the warrior Kshatriya caste of India, organised martial traditions were studied as a part of the Dharma
(duty) of the caste. Bruce Lee vs Chuck Norris
