AMERICAN

Because America hasn't been around long there are no non-electic martial arts from the U.S. Electic means made from other martial arts. All American arts are going to be made up from various arts around the world so it might sound Japanese but be from Iowa or something. Martial arts are also very new to the U.S. having anything to with them in starting in the early 1900's and they just getting big since the late 80's. In this short time everyone plus their grandma has tried to event their own sub-style or "style". There are a lot of arts that are barely changed but just add key words to their arts name to make them popular such as Karate or Kenpo so that they can jump on the popularity bandwagon. However, there are plenty of arts that Americans made and are excellent martial arts such as Kajukenbo, American Kenpo and Kenpo Karate.
