It would be hard to place a name on what is the most famous. Judo has gained international knowledge through the Olympics. Taekwondo also has gained a large number through the Olympics and efforts to get them in, though it appears to have some negative backlash after being seen. Karate is also well known through such individuals as Jean Claude VanDamme and Chuck Norris. But Kung Fu is probably the single most known martial art, given its long history and the massive number of movies based on Kung Fu that have come out of the Chinese movie industry.

It would be difficult to define a martial art that came from America. The vast majority of the arts originated, or developed in parallel with the arts in other regions of the world. The Native Americans had great skills in Wrestling, use of bow and arrow, knife and spear. Clubs and tomahawks were also used in combat. Unarmed combat such as wrestling and boxing have grown in the Americas as they have in other countries.
