well, I was thinking more 'traditional'. Fencing counts, archery OK, kendo/swordsmanship etc.
I liked fencing, a lot of fun.
Fuck Israel
oh, firearms don't count
I would say duelling is a martial art of a kind, and many of the modern pistol matches are essentially descended from that.
In the same way that judo, karate etc are stylised forms of ancient martial arts.

interesting point. I admit I dunno much about pistol shooting except what I've seen on the olympics. In general I was thinking more hand to hand martial arts derived from classical Eastern traditions. But essentially you have to have someone you do the art with to include it in my definition. Since pistol shooting doesn't involve shooting at another person, it doesn't count here! Also, most martial arts it seems to me are descended from actual battlefield techniques (?), and duelling was off the battlefield...

@ruisleipa: Grading with colored belts are optional in almost any martial art, some use colors and some don't ... that vary from country to country.
I did various styles for a few years until a bad knee accident stopped both my martial arts and fotball career

This yellow belt tells 12 year olds the world over not to fuck with me. After 27 hard fought days of practice and 13 viewings of the Karate Kid I finally achieved what I knew I could become.
Such a discipline takes endurance, inner strength, and a $39 entrance fee. Not everyone has what it takes, or 39 bucks. This is why I wear my belt proudly everywhere I go. Plus, I'm a "summer"; it really brings out the blue in my eyes.

I plan to try some Krav Maga in the near future...does that count?
That is correct, aikido is non-competitive. I have only very rarely heard of dojos engaging in competition as it is felt to go against aikido philosophy. You may also notice that in those vids you posted the attacker has a 'knife' while the defender responds to his attacks - even in those 'competitions' it's not so much one vs. one (since aikido doesn't really even teach (m)any attacking techniques) but more a test on how you react to an attack. Here's some cool info from www.aikidojournal.com which sums it up nicely. Sorry for the long cut'n'pasteA12345 wrote:

Aikido is non-violent, non-competitive, and non-resistant. Which means we try not to do any harm, win, or resist what the other person is offering us.
Aikido is a model for conflict awareness. Like most martial arts, Aikido accepts that conflict exists. While conflict may not be necessary, it appears to be a natural part of the human condition. Conflict usually means that two people want two different things and they both think they are right. We cannot deny or avoid conflict indefinitely. Therefore, our only decision is how we choose to respond to it.
Aikido is a model for conflict assessment. All conflicts imply some sense of risk. What will engaging this conflict cost you and what will it gain you? Understanding the amount of potential danger and damage is key intelligence in assessing the appropriate course of action.
Aikido is a model for conflict prevention. Most conflict is preventable by the use of humility, common sense, and good manners. Rather than assertively resisting and standing your ground, Aikido teaches to first move yourself off the line of attack. Aikido teaches you to accept the conflict or attack while maintaining a relaxed body and a calm mind. All Aikido practice or training starts with rei (etiquette), or a bow to show acknowledgement, appreciation, and respect.
Aikido is a model for conflict management. You cannot manage something without some connection with the conflict, problem, or attack. Aikido teaches to connect, enter and blend, and redirect an attack. Musubi means to connect. Irimi means to enter. Awase means to blend. The connection and blending allows the attacker to follow your movement that takes control of and redirects the inertia, momentum, and energy of the attack or conflict.
Aikido is a model for conflict resolution. The first rule to true conflict resolution is to do no, or the least amount of harm and damage possible. In true resolutions everybody wins, no one loses. For anyone to actually lose a conflict implies they will resent the loss and often retaliate whenever possible. Therefore, if there is a loss by any party in a conflict, then it has the potential to perpetuate the conflict it initially attempted to resolve. Once an attack or conflict is successfully released or controlled, let go and move on to the next one.
Life has conflicts. Our only choice is how we choose to respond and handle them. The small picture is the direct physical application of Aikido techniques in response to the prearranged attacks practiced within the safe environment of the Dojo. The larger picture is the cognitive, emotional, and spiritual application of the generic Aikido concepts and principles to conflict awareness, assessment, prevention, management, and resolution in all areas of our life.
I like pie.

Well, im from Brazil, and here the Jiu-Jitsu is very, very strong. Helio Gracie, the father, and Royce Gracie/Rickson Gracie, the sons, were the top guys on this kind of martial art. Maybe you heard about them. If not, go get their history, very rich.
I did Judo for 1 year, when i was a kid, and now, since 2005, i practice Kuo Shu (chinese boxing - looks like Muay thai, but much more technic) and Shuai Jiao (chinese judo).
