 Karate was founded in India? well that is surprising.... will have to google this one..
 
 I do know that there were martial arts here, with a big military culture.. what with numerous small independent states and all... sadly its all lost..
 
 There are people recorded who could kill a lion with bare hands... but, in my city of over a million people there not one good place to learn martial arts.

Took 4 years to get a 3rd Degree Black Belt in taekwondo. (We trained 9 hours a week / 3 hour sessions). Was fortunate not to have a "store-front teacher" but a sensei from the Kukkiwon DoJo in Seoul, Korea; where this Martial Art is their National Sport.

Its not a N00b question, so dont feel bad. There is no half tkd, but when I say full tkd I mean it's origonal, korean based. Most schools here teach American tkd which is not any less a martial art, but has slightly different teniques, different values and is a little easier to achieve ranks.

There is one BJJ move called the lion killer it's a choke hold
