Martial arts films are a subgenre of action films, which feature numerous martial arts fights between characters. These fights are usually the films’ primary appeal and entertainment value and often are a method of storytelling and character expression and development. Martial arts are frequently featured in training scenes and other sequences in addition to fights. Martial arts films commonly include other types of action, such as hand-to-hand combat, stuntwork, chases, and gunfights. (Wikipedia)
