Show Notes
Martial Arts Films as a Film Genre Show Notes:
  • Shannon definition of a Martial Arts Film: Martial Arts films follow a martial artist and/or martial arts community or a film where the plot or setting is centred on martial arts. Martial arts films often follow tournaments or competitions, the fight against injustice and often can be historically set.
  • Wikipedia Definition of Martial Arts: Martial arts (literally meaning arts of war[1] but usually referred as fighting arts) are extensive systems of codified practices and traditions of combat. Martial arts all have similar objectives: to physically defeat other persons or defend oneself or others from physical threat. Some martial arts are also linked to beliefs systems such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism or Shinto while others follow a secular code of honor. Martial arts are considered as both an art and a science. Many arts are also practiced competitively, most commonly as combat sports, but competitions may also take the form of "forms competition."
