Most influential martial artists


Recommended Posts

Maddwraph, yes, Gracie Family are the ones who created Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. They are pretty important and influential.

tufrthanu, I agree about Dan Innosanto.

More martial artists to list.

Itosu Anko- focused on developing a "safer" brand of Karate. He re-tooled several forms (kata) and

eliminated lethal techniques. He also emphasized physical and mental conditioning and promoted the non-corporal benefits of training.

Hitsui Maedakama- the Jiu-jitsu instructor and mentor of Gracies.

Musashi Miyamato- creator of the Niten Ichi-ryu (two sword style) and the most famous swordmaster of all time.

Okuyama Yoshiji- created Hakko-ryu style of Jiu-jitsu.

Jean-Joseph Renard and Guy de Montgrillard- the world's first non-Japanese Judo teachers who opened Judo's first Western school in Marseilles, France in 1889.

Su In Hyouk- creator of Kuk Sool Won, a Korean martial art which combines external and internal techniques.
