The contributions of the Asian American
community have made a significant impact on
Western Society. In the mid 1800s, Asian martial arts became part of
California history
and later spread across the nation and then to the rest of the world.
Art forms such as Kung
Fu, Karate, Kali, Sumo and more have become part of mainstream society.
Today, arts such as
Judo and Tae Kwon Do have become a part of the Olympic games.
