The words "martial arts" have become associated more and more with the fighting disciplines of eastern Asia, but it originally referred to the European combat systems since the 1550s. The term comes from the Latin language, and means "arts of Mars"; Mars was the god of war in the Roman pantheon. Some authors argue that other terms like fighting arts or fighting systems would be more appropriate because some martial arts were never really "martial", meaning that they were never used or created by professional warriors.
Training in martial arts can have several benefits to trainees, such as improving their physical, mental, and emotional health.
Some of the traditional martial concepts have been used in new ways in modern military training. Maybe the most recent example that comes in mind of this is point shooting which relies on muscle memory to utilize firearms in a more efficient way in a wild array of difefrent situations, almost the same way as an iaidoka would master movements with their sword.
Many different martial arts are even used in Law Enforcement for hand to hand combat training. For example, the Tokyo Riot Police's use of aikido.
