===By application or intent=== ====Combat-oriented==== {{main|Combat sport|Self-defense}} ===={{anchor|Spirituality}}Spirituality-oriented==== Traditional Korean martial arts place emphasis on the development of the practitioner's spiritual and philosophical being. A common theme in most Korean styles, such as [[taekkyeon|Taekkyon]], [[taekwondo]], and [[Hapkido]] is the value of "inner peace" in a practitioner, which is stressed to be only achievable through individual meditation and training. The Koreans believe that the use of physical force is only justifiable for self defense.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-03-28 |title=Taekwondo in a Street Fight: Effective for Self-defense? |url=https://www.sportsver.com/is-taekwondo-effective-for-self-defense-in-a-real-fight/ |access-date=2022-04-15 |website=www.sportsver.com|language=en-US}}</ref> '''Pahlevani and zourkhaneh rituals''' is the name of a Persian Martial arts inscribed by [[UNESCO]] for '''varzesh-e pahlavāni''' ({{langx|fa|آیین پهلوانی و زورخانهای}}, "heroic sport")<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.izsf.net/en|title=International Zurkhaneh Sports Federation|website=www.izsf.net}}</ref> or '''varzesh-e bāstāni''' ({{lang|fa|ورزش باستانی}}; ''varzeš-e bāstānī'', "ancient sport"), a traditional system of athletics originally used to train warriors in [[Iran]] ([[Name of Iran|Persia]]), and first appearing under this name and form in the Safavid era, with similarities to systems in adjacent lands under other names.<ref>{{iranica|zur-kana}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/pahlevani-and-zoorkhanei-rituals-00378|title=UNESCO - Pahlevani and Zoorkhanei rituals|website=ich.unesco.org}}</ref>
