Hybrid martial arts


Hybrid martial arts (also known as hybrid fighting systems) refer to martial arts or fighting systems that incorporate techniques and theories from several particular martial arts. While numerous martial arts borrow or adapt from other arts and to some extent could be considered hybrids, a hybrid martial art emphasizes its stylistic origins. An example of these hybrids is Kajukenbo, which includes specific elements of karate, judo, jujutsu, kenpo, and Chinese boxing.[1]
