The Martial Arts in Dragonball Z

[Maytoi]

I know that in real life I obviously can't fly, shoot energy out of my hanRAB or anything that is obvious fiction in DBZ. But my question is the martial arts they do in DBZ when they fight is it based on any real martial arts style? And if yes what martial arts style?

 

[Marky-Marc]

i dont think they really have a martial arts style.

 

[viclioce]

I know it was never said or at least I don't remeraber I was just curious if they based it on a real martial arts style.

 

[crazyhorsegirl]

as i recall, there was just flying and amazingly super fast movements of the legs and arms which, unless your on speed, won't ever happen for you.

Maritals Arts have a real style... More like Kung Fu, Judos, and etc... Or some Mixed Maritals Arts such as UFC....

 

[Zack]

I know of those styles but what does it have to do with the asked question?

i think they were supposed to be loosely based on marital arts, given the fighting stances and all.

however, the earthlings knew fighting techniques while the enemies tended to just be super powerful for various reason
