Since the beginning of time, different cultures have developed styles of fighting in order to survive, but it is Chinese martial arts that has endured and flourished more than in any other country. Martial arts techniques were created out of the need for survival between humanity and animals, and between different tribes of humans.
From these battles, experiences and techniques were accumulated and recorded then passed down through the generations. The invention of weaponry enabled new fighting techniques to be created. Different types and shapes of weapons were invented which led to different schools and styles of martial arts. These new styles were formed by imitating the fighting techniques of animals such as the tiger, panther, monkey, snake and bear as well as a number of birds and insects.
Mankind firmly believed that in order to survive in what was a harsh natural environment at the time, it was necessary to study animals' natural talent and skill for fighting. The way to learn these techniques was to study and imitate these animals, for example the pouncing of a tiger or the attacking motions of an eagle.
The teaching of martial arts in Asia has historically followed cultural traditions - students are trained in a strictly hierarchical system by a master instructor. The students are expected to memorise and recite as closely as possible the rules and basic training of martial arts whilst the teacher is expected to directly supervise the student's training.
Students with more seniority are considered 'older brothers and sisters' whilst those with less seniority are 'younger brothers and sisters', and these relationships are clearly delineated and designed to develop good character, patience and discipline amongst students. In some Asian countries, a student's skills were tested for mastery before being allowed to study further - this traditional style has been widely ignored by many of the modern teachings in the West. The western interest in East Asian Martial Arts dates back to the late 19th Century around the time when there was an increase in trade between America and China and Japan.
Very few westerners actually practiced the arts initially, they saw it as more of a dramatic performance. It wasn't until a great number of military personal from the West spent time in Korea, China, Japan and further afield that soldiers gradually began to recognise the value of Eastern martial arts in Western culture and it was this that promoted the start of training.

Private vengeance and reparations gave way to public punishment and forfeiture of the accused's land and possessions to the crown. Gradually, English jurists began to wrestle with the issue of the relevance of the circumstances of a killing.
The promulgation of the Statute of Gloucester in allowed defendants who killed by accident or in self-defense to apply to the king for a pardon. By the beginning of the fourteenth century, justifiable homicide preserving the king's peace—the execution of a felon sentenced to death or one resisting capture—was distinguished from excusable homicide or se defendendo , for example, in self-defense.
