Thang-Ta is a unique traditional martial art and a martial education of India which is originated from Manipur, a tiny state in northeast India. Thang-Ta integrates the arts of Thang(sword), Ta(spear), Sharit-Sharak(unarmed combat), Sajen Kanglon(physical exercise), Thengouron(spiritual arts), Ningsha Kanglon(breathing exercise), Layeng Kanglon(natural medicinal education), Hirikonba(medication), and other vital arts of warfare. The actual system Lallup(a group of military forces) was introduced during the reign of King Loyumba(1074-1122 AD). King Punshiba(1404-1432 AD) introduced the permanent and professional military department called Shingchep Meira Haijouroi. King Pamheiba(1709-1748 AD) strengthens and upgraded the Lallup system. Under this system every male above 16 years served the state voluntarily as duty ten days in forty days, therefore each individual person served the state some 90 days in a year. They performed their duties for the state and trained Thang-Ta martial arts as an important subject of physical exercise. Hence every person was compelled by himself to have Thang-Ta martial art training. Today Thang-Ta has emerged as a very popular martial art game in India and attained recognition in the realm of national and international. The Manipuri Thang-Ta, replete with unique forms of fights, naturally evolved against the warlike background of the ancient kingdom. Many thrilling combat demonstrations and performing arts of Thang-Ta which are exotic and display-oriented had been displayed at various cultural centers and functions in different countries of the world.

Taekwondo is a Korean martial art, characterized by its emphasis on head-height kicks, jumping spinning kicks, and fast kicking techniques. Beginning in 1945, shortly after the end of World War II and the Japanese Occupation, new martial arts schools called 'Kwan' opened in Seoul. These schools were established by Korean martial artists with backgrounds in (mostly) Japanese and Chinese martial arts. At the time, indigenous disciplines (such as Taekkyeon) were all but forgotten, due to years of decline and repression by the Japanese colonial government. The umbrella term traditional Taekwondo typically refers to the martial arts practiced by the kwans during the 1940s and 1950s, though in reality the term "Taekwondo" had not yet been coined at that time, and indeed each Kwan(school) was practicing its own unique fighting style. In 1952, South Korean President Lee Seung-man witnessed a martial arts demonstration by ROK officer Choi Hong-hi and Nam Tae-hi from the 29th Infantry Division. He misrecognized the technique on display as Taekkyeon, and urged martial arts to be introduced to the army under a single system. Beginning in 1955 the leaders of the kwans began discussing in earnest the possibility of creating a unified Korean martial art. Until then, Tang Soo Do was used to name Korean Karate, using the Korean hanja pronunciation of the Japanese kanji (唐手道). The name Tae Soo Do (跆手道) was also used to describe a unified style of Korean martial arts. This name consists of the hanja 跆(tae) "to stomp, trample", 手(su) "hand", and 道(do) "way, discipline". Choi Hong-hi advocated the use of the name Tae Kwon Do, i.e. replacing 手(su) "hand" with 拳(kwon or gwon) "fist", the term also used for "martial arts" in Chinese 'Quán'. The name was also the closest to the pronunciation of Taekkyeon, in accordance with the views of the president. The new name was initially slow to catch on among the leaders of the kwans. During this time Taekwondo was also adopted for use by the South Korean military, which increased its popularity among civilian martial arts schools. In 1959 the Korea Taekwondo Association or KTA (then-Korea Tang Soo Do Association) was established to facilitate the unification of Korean martial arts. General Choi, of the Oh Do Kwan, wanted all the other member kwans of the KTA to adopt his own Chan Hon-style of Taekwondo, as a unified style. This was, however, met with resistance as the other kwans instead wanted a unified style to be created based on inputs from all the kwans, to serve as a way to bring on the heritage and characteristics of all of the styles, not just the style of a single kwan. As a response to this, along with disagreements about teaching Taekwondo in North Korea and unifying the whole Korean Peninsula, Choi broke with the KTA in 1966, in order to establish the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF)— a separate governing body devoted to institutionalizing his own style of Taekwondo in Canada. Initially, the South Korean president, having close ties to General Choi, gave General Choi's ITF limited support. However, the South Korean government wished to avoid North Korean influence on the martial art. Conversely, ITF president Choi Hong-hi sought support for his style of Taekwondo from all quarters, including North Korea. In response, in 1972 South Korea withdrew its support for the ITF. The ITF continued to function as an independent federation, then headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada; Choi continued to develop the ITF-style, notably with the 1983 publication of his Encyclopedia of Taekwondo. After Choi's retirement, the ITF split in 2001 and then again in 2002 to create three separate federations each of which continues to operate today under the same name. In 1972 the KTA and the South Korean government's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism established the Kukkiwon as the new national academy for Taekwondo. Kukkiwon now serves many of the functions previously served by the KTA, in terms of defining a government-sponsored unified style of Taekwondo. In 1973 the KTA and Kukkiwon supported the establishment of the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF, renamed to World Taekwondo in 2017 due to confusion with the initialism) to promote the sportive side of Kukki-Taekwondo. WT competitions employ Kukkiwon-style Taekwondo. For this reason, Kukkiwon-style Taekwondo is often referred to as WT-style Taekwondo, sport-style Taekwondo, or Olympic-style Taekwondo, though in reality the style is defined by the Kukkiwon, not the WT. Since 2000, Taekwondo has been one of only two Asian martial arts (the other being judo) that are included in the Olympic Games. It started as a demonstration event at the 1988 games in Seoul, a year after becoming a medal event at the Pan Am Games, and became an official medal event at the 2000 games in Sydney. In 2010, Taekwondo was accepted as a Commonwealth Games sport.

The fighting art of tang soo do is believed to have originated 2,000 years ago during Korea's Three Kingdoms period. Silla, the smallest and least populated region of the peninsula, was under constant attack from the larger and more powerful Baekje and Goguryeo kingdoms. After a few centuries, the Silla rulers are believed to have allied themselves with a skilled fighting force created by the Tang dynasty monarchs of China (618-907). It was then that the tang soo warriors were born. Their combat system was a combination of a traditional Chinese art known as the “Tang method” and a set of powerful kicks native to Korea. In the middle period, following Korean independence in 1945, the Korean political leader was concerned about establishing Korean values based on Korean nationalism. At the beginning of the modern era of the Korean martial arts, Tang Soo Do was the most popular term for these arts, however, the political leaders at that time were opposed to the use of the name Tang Soo Do for the art, as it sounded like Chinese martial art, because it could be representing the Chinese Tang Dynasty. In 1964, a government-sponsored small group created a new name for the Korean martial arts: Tae Kwon Do. Meanwhile, Tang Soo Do has kept traditional. Grandmaster Hwang Kee just followed his own path. This was the path of traditional martial arts so as to preserve history. That is the history of what the Western world came to know as Korean Karate.

Savate means ‘old shoe’. Practitioners usually fight with kicks but they can also hold weapons such as a sword, dagger, pole, cane, etc. But in modern sports, players wear gloves on their fists like kick-boxers. As boxing techniques were added in the development process, savate was utilized for training French soldiers. It was a demonstration sport in the Paris 1924 Summer Olympics. French Boxing is a combat sport that first appeared in the nineteenth century under the names of Savate and Chausson, but which soon became known as French Boxing. It started out in the streets in bad neighborhoods, and in a few decades become the sport of the aristocracy (the 1850s), be at the forefront of French sports (1900s) and after a long period of sleepiness, flourished again and progressing from year to year. Now the French Federation of Savate (FF Savate - established 1975) is promoting the martial art and organizing world championships.
