The Basics of Martial Arts
Nearly every culture on the planet has some type of martial art that it teaches to its warriors. A martial art is basically a fighting style that has a specific set of rules, techniques and executions that are designed for attacking an opponent or defending an attack. The term "martial arts" was coined in the 15th century in Europe and refers to Mars, who was the Roman god of war. Today, martial arts are still very popular; however, people now are interested in learning martial arts developed by people from cultures other than their own. Asian martial arts, like Judo, Taekwondo and Karate, are particularly popular in the United States.

Striking
When developing a martial arts business card you want to select a graphic that is representative of the form of martial arts you practice or teach. For example, if you are involved in martial art forms that use striking motions, then you will want to look for a graphic that depicts punching and striking. These types of graphics are appropriate for the following martial arts: boxing, Muag Thai, Wing Chun, Shaolin Kung Fu and Karate.
Kicking
If you specialize in kicking forms of martial arts, then you will want to focus the design of your business card around a kicking action graphic. You can select from tournament photographs that you have taken, or you can select a graphic from our extensive image library. Kicking graphics are appropriate for martial arts like: Savate, Capoeira and Taekwondo.
Grappling
Another classification of martial arts is the grappling class. This class of martial arts focuses its movements and techniques on throwing, pins and joint locks. If you practice grappling martial arts like: Judo, Aikido, Hapkido, wrestling or Brazilian Jin-Jitsu, then you can select from graphics that depict any of the above grappling moves. You can also use photographs from competition, your gym or dojo.
Weaponry
The final classification of martial arts is weaponry. This group of martial arts is defined by the type of weapons the martial artist uses to defend and attack with. Weapons can include swords, knives, staffs, blades and other devices. Graphics depicting your weapon of choice can be a dramatic backdrop for your business card. This type of business card is appropriate for people who practice: fencing, Kendo, Kali, Eskrima, Gatka, Jogo do Pau or Jukendo.
