Korean martial arts are the martial arts that originated from Korea, or were adapted and modified in Korea. Some well known Korean martial arts are Hapkido, Kuk Sool Won, Taekwondo, and Tang Soo Do. There has also been a revival of Korean sword arts as well as knife fighting and archery. In modern times, Korean martial arts are being practiced worldwide.

Martial arts have existed in Korea since the earliest ages. Until modern times martial arts always had a link with the military. Although unarmed methods did exist they were not viewed as being crucial. It is only been since recent times that unarmed fighting methods are viewed as martial arts; armed fighting methods dominated until about one hundred years ago. Unarmed fighting methods were used to train soldiers or to entertain crowds during festivals where villages competed with each other in wrestling matches.

Okinawan martial arts refers to the martial arts which originated among the indigenous people of Okinawa Island, most notably karate, tegumi, and Okinawan kobudō.

Okinawa is not, nor ever has been, the name of a nation but rather is the name of the largest island of the Ryūkyū islands, a chain of islands in the western Pacific Ocean at the eastern limit of the East China Sea, stretching southwest from Kyūshū to Taiwan. As such, Okinawa is in close proximity to Mainland Japan, the Korean peninsula, and the southeastern coast of China.
Due to its central location, Okinawa was greatly influenced by these other cultures, with a long history of trade and cultural exchange with China that greatly influenced the development of martial arts on Okinawa.
