Meitei martial arts are traditional combat practices originating from the cultural heritage of the Meitei ethnicity, predominantly in the state of Manipur, as well as in Assam and Tripura, in northeastern India, besides Bangladesh and Myanmar. These arts encompass a variety of techniques that combine both armed and unarmed forms of fighting, focusing on skill development, physical conditioning, and tactical strategy. They are deeply embedded in the cultural and historical fabric of the Meitei civilisation, with roots in warfare, self-defense, and spiritual discipline. Over time, these martial practices evolved not only as means of protection but also as a way to preserve cultural identity and values. Today, Meitei martial arts are practiced to maintain physical fitness, promote mental focus, and honor the regional and ethnic Meitei intangible cultural heritage.
