User:Amelia-the-comic-geek

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, my name is Amelia, though most of my friends call me Millie or Ammi. I am a photographer by trade and mime by hobby. As my name implies, I'm a comic geek who mainly reads DC, 2000AD, and TMNT titles. I am training to become a librarian and upload books and artwork that lapsed into the publiic domain on Commons when I get the chance.

I am deeply fascinated by folklore and myth, and dedicate a large amount of my free time writing about it!

List of mythological martial artists

[edit]

I'm unsure if this warrants a list, category, whatever, but I'm going to start compiling a list so I don't lose track. With how contentious the definition of 'martial artist' is, I'm defining it as mythological/folkloric/theological figures who are core-identified as being heavily skilled with a specific fighting style (unarmed or weapon) or partook in competition fighting. No order for now.
