Modern Muay Thai can also said to be a hybrid martial arts. Many modern muay thai fighters have chosen to incoperate formal boxing techniques into their arsenal.Shardakar 15:27, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Hybrid ancients?
I am confused as to the inclusion of arts such as baguazhang into the category "Hybrid". I believed hybrid matial arts referred to modern (i.e., XIX century and later) systems artificially compiled by an instructor or committee by putting together a number of techniques gathered from different extant arts. That definition would exclude A)older systems, developed through a longer and smoother evolution, and B) Systems created ex novo drawing from the sciences of anatomicy & biomechanics, pathology and psychology. Nevertheless, I haven't been able to find sources to substantiate the above assertion. Does anyone have more info on this?

 * Hybrid is a difficult to define as many (most?) MAs have combined techniques from other styles, my thoughts would be to ask if there has been a significant amount of independent adaptation since the merge. --Nate1481(t/c) 10:41, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Why the fuck isnt sambo in here? its the most hyrbridededness of all martial arts :P...just read its history.


 * if you focus on history, you will come to realize that every martial art on the planet is ultimately "hybrid". That's not the idea. This article should discuss the modern (20th century) idea of actively combining specific schools. Or perhaps it should just redirect to Mixed_martial_arts, which seems to give a better account than this standalone stub. --dab (𒁳) 15:04, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

World War II Combatives?
So I'm seeing this line that says "Hybridization of techniques from various martial arts in World War II combatives." This is actually a sentence fragment, and doesn't actually mean anything. From the surrounding sentences, I have no idea what this line is referring to, or what it is supposed to imply, other than the fact that WWII Combatives is a hybrid martial art. I'm taking it out for now, because it contributes nothing to the article, but if someone who knows what it is supposed to mean wants to rephrase it and put it back in, go for it. -199.30.197.148 (talk) 19:53, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Item removed from list
In accordance with the "excessive examples" template, I removed Buttstroke from the list, because it is entirely irrelevant. It's not a martial art at all, it's simply the practice of hitting someone with the butt end of a rifle. I hope this is agreeable to everyone. Lumberjane Lilly (talk) 13:11, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
