16) What are the different Arts, Schools and Styles? ∞

This is a question with many, many answers—some could say that there are as many styles as there are martial artists. So, we’d like to introduce some Schools and Styles that will give you a basic familiarity with the world of martial arts. The Arts are listed alphabetically.

Important note: This information is true to the best of the knowledge of those who wrote the descriptions of the various arts. If your style has only a small write up or none at all and you have enough information on it to make a good FAQ entry, write it up in the form shown below and send it to mcweigel at cs.cmu.edu.

If you have a question about a particular style or its writeup, one option is to look in the next section for who contributed to the art’s writeup, and send e-mail to them. Otherwise, comment to mcweigel at cs.cmu.edu.
