Many works of fiction such as movies and books have characters that practice martial arts. Usually they practice existing martial arts, such as judo or aikido, but sometimes a martial art is made up for dramatic purposes or to lend a fictional world a sense of authenticity. This is a list of such martial arts, sorted by the medium of the fictional work they appear in. == Books, comics and card games == *Baritsu — Japanese wrestling style used by Sherlock Holmes, either a typographical error for, or a bowdlerization of, bartitsu. *Cards as Weapons — mock martial art of throwing playing cards with extreme force and accuracy, as presented in magician/card-scaler Ricky Jay's book of the same title. It has since been used in many pieces of fiction as the martial arts of choice for a gambling rogue character, usually using razor-sharp shuriken designed like playing cards for their attacks. ''The Magician'' with Bill Bixby features steel playing cards used in this manner. Many Chinese television series use similar devices, in which cards can be used to cut. Something similar is practiced by the Marvel Comics hero Gambit, who throws playing cards with extreme accuracy and uses his mutant ability to turn the cards into explosive projectiles. *Coup de vitesse, favored by the Manticoran military in David Weber's ''Honorverse'' *Déjà-fu from Terry Pratchett's ''Discworld''. Specifically demonstrated in ''Thief of Time'' by the Lu-Tze, its only known master. It is best described as "the feeling that you have been kicked in the head this way before." Other Discworld martial arts include (comments by Lu-Tze): :''Okidoki'' ("Just a lot of bunny hops.") :''Shiitake'' ("If I wanted to thrust my hand into hot sand I would go to the seaside.") :''Upsidazi'' ("A waste of good bricks.") :''No kando'' ("You made that one up.") :''Tung-pi'' ("Bad-tempered flower-arranging.") *Do, a martial art known only to the "Akashic Brotherhood" in the White Wolf Publishing tabletop RPG ''Mage: The Ascension''. In the game, spellcasting "mages" use some sort of physical or mental activity to cast their spells. The mages of the Akashic Brotherhood created Do to be a martial art that could be used for this purpose. *Heliconan Twisting— a martial arts form seemingly equal parts Jiu Jitsu and Krav Maga. It is practiced by Hari Seldon, a key character from Isaac Asimov's ''Foundation'' series of books. *Llap-Goch; a Welsh martial art featured in a mock advertisement in ''The Brand New Monty Python Bok'', which claims to be able to teach students how to grow taller, stronger, faster, and more deadly in a matter of days. Those proficient in the style become "First Dai", awarded black braces (suspenders) *Metallikato from the ''Transformers'' comics. The Decepticon Bludgeon is said to be a master of metallikato. *Munchkin Fu — from the Games 'Munchkin Fu' and 'Munchkin Fu 2 - Monky Business' by Steve Jackson Games. The game describes styles like Drunken Monkey Kung Fu, Kong Fu, Fee Fi Fo Fu, Sna Fu, and Stomach Fu. *Naked/Kill from Trevanian's novel ''Shibumi''. *Omnite, a martial art used by the title character in ''Logan's Run''. *Sinanju — a Korean martial art handed down for many generations in the ''Destroyer'' series. It is considered the forerunner to most real-world martial arts and is called "the sun source" by its practitioners. *Sumito; or 'The 97 Steps' a martial art developed by the Siblings of the Shroud in Steve Perry's Matador series. The books depict the creation of the martial art by Lazlo Mourn (who walks the Musashi Flex, an illegal underground martial arts competition named after Miyamoto Musashi, featuring both armed and unarmed combat) and its eventual use to overthrow a corrupt interstellar government. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of fictional martial arts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
