All Asian martial arts
Would anyone object if this article was expanded to include the modern history of all Asian martial arts and not just East Asia? The same has already been done to the article on Asian Martial Arts (Origins). Morinae (talk) 10:46, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Not especially Asian
This article seems to be a history of east Asian martial arts in the west. East Asian countries are only mentioned as places these arts come from (except for catch wrestling, how did that get in there?), but the history reported all involves participants or Hollywood spectators located in the west. For example, the Boxer Rebellion, a significant uprising against foreigners by Chinese martial artists in China isn't mentioned. From the article's 1860 demarcation, martial arts in China, Japan, Korea etc., were already practised for a hundred years before fans in the west took notice in any large numbers. Since there isn't much reliable history of martial arts before 1860, but a good amount afterward, this article could be more complete and much better documented. I'll see what I can do. --Bradeos Graphon Βραδέως Γράφων (talk) 15:22, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Bruce Lee, Green Hornet references
Does anyone else find it odd that Bruce Lee's influence is mentioned with reference to "the later 1970s and 1980s" media interest, and "The Green Hornet" TV show, when in fact, Mr Lee died in 1973 and The Green Hornet ran in 1966-67? Also, Martial Law didn't air until 1998, not the 70s or 80s, as implied. Lupinelawyer (talk) 05:55, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Looks like Me Too additions without properly reading the paragraph - I removed those two and if re-added the paragraph should be revised.Peter Rehse (talk) 09:03, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
