So here's the thing! Is this an actual martial art?????

To answer the one main point... I forgot

Yes it is a martial art... boxing, kick boxing, fencing, Greco-Roman wrestling, etc... these are all also martial arts. There is a big misconception, a system of fighting does not need to be Eastern in order to be a martial art, in fact the term 'martial art' is western.

Learning the correct way to fire a gun for the army could be considered a martial art.
