List of European Martial Arts
Re: List of European Martial Arts
Thanks for sharing N567. These styles are fighting are not often mentioned and some of them I have never heard of.
Re: List of European Martial Arts
Though there are plenty of European martial arts gyms in Western countries, the leftist media gives no coverage of them because they do not want us to have the ability to defend ourselves and they do not want us to be connected to our cultural roots.
There are also many restrictions on the right to self defense in many countries such as the duty to retreat and reasonable force clauses which have caused so many martial arts gyms, even the Eastern ones, to be so watered down to the point that they are only good for exhibition matches and sports competitions.
