Not all forms of self-defense are actually considered to be Tae Kwon Do/Martial Arts. Some have argued that unless warriors were using the fighting system in actual combat, it was not truly martial arts. Additionally, there is also a difference between martial art and martial sport. While some have developed from warrior combat, other martial arts developed as a means for spiritual and physical achievement. Strictly defined, martial arts are combat arts, methods for killing an opponent in battle. Martial ways, or, those arts that have a spiritual component, go beyond combat effectiveness.

Today, the Martial Arts / Tae Kwon Do are practiced for health and fitness, sport, law enforcement, spiritual benefits as well as for self-defense. Martial Arts can be defined as a system of techniques - physical and mental exercises developed as a successful means for self-defense.
