From the Paper:

"The various martial arts can be divided into the armed and unarmed arts. The former include archery, spearmanship, and swordsmanship; the latter (which originated in China), emphasize striking with the feet and hands or grappling. In Japan, traditionally a warrior's training emphasized archery, swordsmanship, unarmed combat, and swimming in armor. Members of other classes interested in combat concentrated on arts using the staff, everyday work implements (such as thrashing flails, sickles, and knives), and unarmed combat."
