No, thats horse shit. Im not wrong. Kung-fu. Thats a martial art. tae kwon 
do. thats a martial art. Grappeling. Thats a martial art. Even that stuff 
they teach in the army could be called a martial art (since they do teach 
some form of martial art in the army now. I think its Karate based).  Blow 
guns and shit. THOSE ARE NOT MARTIAL ARTS. You can define it all you want to 
with dumb interpretations of the dictionary but a martial art is something 
where you use your hands and feet to attack and defend. Your entire body. Why 
do you think Boxing isnt a martial art but yet kick boxing is? If you need 
even more proof then go here
http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=martial%20art
or go and look up the whole two words Martial Art in different dictionaries 
and you will see.  A really good one is the first definition here:

lookup_letters=martial+art

Even more proof needed eh?
