Nothing spells World of Badass more than literally everybody else being Badasses who know Martial Arts in one or another form. Because it isn't just grandma who suddenly acquires the ability to be an expert martial artist... it's literally everyone! Some like to portray a world where violence solves everything. Everyone can and will be a martial arts master. Or expert sharpshooter. Or a beast at good old fashioned fisticuffs. Or a black belt in the Interior-design Curtain-fitting Style. It doesn't matter whether or not it was hinted that they know how to fight nor does it matter whether or not they even look like they can. They can, do, and will. In comedy shows, this can be played for laughs, when characters spontaneously break out into epic fights over trivial things like who lost the remote, who should pay for dinner, or who threw a chair. It is not uncommon for the Trope Namer song to begin playing. Highly common in Wuxia and Martial Arts Movie genres, where it's harder to name a character who doesn't know some martial art. See also All Asians Know Martial Arts, All Chinese People Know Kung-Fu, Suddenly Always Knew That, I Know Mortal Kombat, and Dragons Up the Yin Yang to set the mood. All Monks Know Kung-Fu seems to be this trope limited to all kinds of monks. Can be a form of Everyone Is a Super, where "Super" is defined as "Martial Artist". Everyone Is Armed occurs when an absurdly chaotic gun fight breaks out. Contrast Wimp Fight, when it's painfully obvious that the people don't know how to fight, and Fight Scene Failure, which is when the Actors are the ones that don't know how to fight. Trope title is from the 1970s classic song by Carl Douglas (First four lines shown above) that describes the style of this trope perfectly. Examples |

Enter the Dragon ends with a massive kung fu battle. On one side you have Han's army of martial arts students, trained to kill mercilessly with their bare hands. On the other side you have... a bunch of vagrants and runaways, kidnapped from the streets of Hong Kong and freshly released from Han's dungeons. And Bruce Lee. The two sides appear to be about evenly matched. | |

Many, many animated films from the Disney Animated Canon, both classic ones and ones from more modern eras, often have a climax that's all about this, with various unlikely hero characters taking on the villains in a zany brawl with plenty of opportunities for outrageous slapstick and similar comical moments in what may well be an otherwise serious scene (or leading up to one). Examples include: Scuttle leading various other marine creatures in crashing the wedding of Prince Eric and Vanessa in The Little Mermaid. The servants-turned-household objects defending their master's castle from a mob in Beauty and the Beast. Everyone joining the fight atop Pride Rock to overthrow King Scar in The Lion King. The climactic plaza battle in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. |

On The Simpsons this happens a lot. Four of the five members of the Simpson family can handle themselves pretty well in a fight (Maggie the baby at least knows how to fire a gun), and countless other Springfieldians are more than likely to start an Escalating Brawl over just about anything, including someone saying something mildly disagreeable. | |

Ninjas And Superspies has around half the character classes learn a Martial Art Form. The two Martial Artist classes are better at it than anyone else, but most secret agents also learn martial arts, as well as "wanderer" types like the Dreamer Gizmoteer or the Veteran Grunt, who just picked up their form somewhere in their backstory and thus can kick ass with the best of them. | |

Lovejoy, a British TV series (very!) loosely based on some novels about a conman-cum-antiques-dealer, subverted this one in a scene where Lovejoy's ally of the week, a Japanese man, frightens off a gang of thugs by pretending to know kung fu. After they're gone he explains that everyone just assumes he can kick their butts because he's Asian. | |

The Dragon Ball series. Everybody from the little old man to the evil bubble gum alien seems to know Kung Fu. The now-defunct MMORPG Dragon Ball Online, set over two centuries after the end of DBZ, justified this: two decades after the end of the series, Gohan published a book which taught the general populace about Ki Manipulation. This lead to Goten and Trunks founding a school centered around ki-control swordfighting; 15 years later, students of this school were instrumental in driving off an invasion attempt by the remnants of Frieza's forces, which lead to a wide-spread interest in Supernatural Martial Arts, which lead to Krillin and Tien Shinhan founding new schools of Turtle- and Crane-style martial arts. Add in wide-spread Saiyan genes, and you have a species that literally has fighting in its blood. |

Any Power Rangers hero or side character intended to become one later will have mad fight skills even if there's no indication that they've ever taken a single karate lesson. If they don't have any the very first time the Mooks show up, they will by their second appearance. Also of note is that a ridiculous number of people in the original seasons were nuts about martial arts, long before Rita attacked. Once the franchise finally moved out of Angel Grove in season 7, this was realistically dropped. However, a couple of later seasons had the heroes get caught up in the fight and become Rangers specifically because they had been already been training in Supernatural Martial Arts. Averted with the original Blue Ranger. Billy didn't have any martial arts skills in his human form at the beginning of the series and even seemed to have trouble with Rita's Putties. Following an episode that had him actually taking lessons from one of the other Ranger's relatives, he started to get better over time. Hilariously subverted with Green Ranger Ziggy of Power Rangers RPM. Even all the way to the season finale, he's always struggled in a fight (in comparison to his fellow Rangers). |

Justified in the Whateley Universe stories; in this Cape Punk world, just having powers of some sort marks one as a target of both Fantastic Racism and Superhuman Trafficking, so the Whateley Academy school administration is determined to give every one of their students at least some sort of fighting chance. Students have to take either introductory martial arts ("introductory" in the superpowered sense of the word) or Survival (which is more about evasion techniques than wilderness survival), and those who don't take it in their first semester usually regret it when they discover the Combat Finals at the end of the term. As a result, huge numbers of mutants at the school can pull off some aikido or Shaolin kung fu or whatnot, and a fair number are quite proficient; there are even two rival 'schools', the Dragons and the Tigers, within the school walls. There are over half a dozen teachers whose job is teaching martial arts, in a school of under 600 mutants. At least three students (Fey, Bladedancer, and Pejuta) have personal martial arts trainers, though these specialists also help with some other students sometimes. | |

Xena: Warrior Princess. Not only does everyone (outside of the mooks) know Kung-Fu, they know different styles: Karate, Capoeira, Judo, pressure point manipulation — if it's vaguely martial art-like, a Xena character has used it. Yes; in Ancient Greece. Fully justified. Ancient Greece was, by modern standards, a violent place where swords, spears, and unarmed fighting were commonplace, accepted elements of everyday life- yes, even in "gentle", civilized Athens. (Socrates was an ex-soldier). Pankration was a clearly defined martial art complete with strikes, throws, and submission holds and remains a viable art even in the modern age of Ultimate fighting. Even more justified as some scholars suggest that kung fu was invented by people who had learned Pankration from Alexander's soldiers during his eastern campaign. In fact, in ancient Greece, every male had to join the military, so it's entirely expected that they should know how to handle themselves in a fight. They should not, however, know Kung Fu. Justified in Hercules: The Maze and the Minotaur, where Hercules and Iolaus do mention that they've been to "the East." Pankration was more like wrestling than a martial art relying on strikes, although it had those too. It was invented by hoplites in case a soldier fell down. In this case, trying to get up would most likely result in getting stabbed, so the alternative was to drag the opponent down on the ground with you and choke him to death. The original Olympics had Pankration as the main event with the top contenders fighting naked. The only moves disallowed are eye-gouging, biting, and killing your opponent. The champions were treated as royalty. |

Exalted loves its Supernatural Martial Arts and as such: The companion book "Scroll of the Monk" suggests using this trope liberally and with gusto should one of the PCs be looking for a hidden martial arts master. Burn Legend, in Shards of the Exalted Dream. The character sheet doesn't even have social or mental stats, and the general assumption is that any NPC of significance is going to be a black belt. Sidereals (also known as fate ninjas) are all over them. They all, mandatorily start with at least two points in martial arts (Endings Caste start with three and specializes in them). They also have their own whole tier of martial arts, which generally involves beating up concepts of reality and stands above everything else. They also have a unique Background related to having a martial arts teacher. |

Tonfa-based Warrior Monk Trickster speedster. The Ojou? Literal Magic Knight fighting style passed down from Ancient Belka.

One officially listed campaign suggestion for Dungeons & Dragons is to have everyone be a gestalt monk (basically, add in the abilities of the monk class on top of whatever actual class any character has), specifically to evoke this kind of feeling in a campaign. | |

Notably, in a Time Travel Episode set during the character Jackie's childhood during The '70s, a fight breaks out between present-Jackie, past-Uncle, present-Jade, and the Dark Hand, prompting one of the kids watching to say "Everybody is Kung-Fu Fighting!". | |

The now-defunct MMORPG Dragon Ball Online, set over two centuries after the end of DBZ, justified this: two decades after the end of the series, Gohan published a book which taught the general populace about Ki Manipulation. This lead to Goten and Trunks founding a school centered around ki-control swordfighting; 15 years later, students of this school were instrumental in driving off an invasion attempt by the remnants of Frieza's forces, which lead to a wide-spread interest in Supernatural Martial Arts, which lead to Krillin and Tien Shinhan founding new schools of Turtle- and Crane-style martial arts. Add in wide-spread Saiyan genes, and you have a species that literally has fighting in its blood. | |

The newly arrived Lieutenant Spock quickly ascertains that a single handed Vulcan technique called Lan-Dova was used to break the necks, and that the murderer was a Vulcan or was raised by Vulcans as the Lan-Dova technique was taught to nearly all Vulcan school children as part of their self defense training. |

A plot point in the movie Shaolin Soccer: the hero wants to spread Shaolin Kung Fu and points out to a soccer coach how it could be used to improve peoples' lives (like avoiding Banana Peels and parallel parking). After they win a soccer tournament with an entire team of Shaolin monks, the hero gets his wish, and we get a Montage of people using kung fu in their everyday lives. In the English dub, the song that plays in the background is a cover of "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas. The film also features a woman who uses tai chi to cook and play goalie. | |

The Boondocks specifically states that anytime someone throws a chair, everyone will engage in a mass fight. Huey and Uncle Ruckus are apparently gifted martial artists that are great with melee weaponry; in Ruckus' case, this is extremely bizarre (given his terrible health and physical ability, blatantly referred to in previous episodes). Colonel Stinkmeaner started out as a subversion (Huey assumed his blindness made him Daredevil, but it turns out he's just a blind elderly man who got a lucky shot in), but (unusually) returned from Hell a martial arts master, the event implying that he was trained by Satan himself. This was before his Hateocracy showed up, where they went up against hired bodyguard Bushido Brown. Not to mention that Granddad is a master of Belt-Fu... In the second season episode "Attack of the Killer Kung-Fu Wolf Bitch", Granddad's internet blind date, Luna, is revealed to know "White Lotus Kung-Fu" and to have won the Kumite (every time the tournament's name is mentioned, there's a little martial arts "hi-yah" noise). Needless to say, eventually Huey tests her skills and is beaten to the floor for his troubles. For half the fights that break out in Boondocks, participants are shown with inexplicable physical prowess and at least some karate kicks in there. |

Although in the case of Yu-Gi-Oh!, many characters actually are good fighters, which was particularly relevant in the first few volumes of the manga and the Toei anime. Jounouchi is a skilled street fighter who knocks out a trained assassin and keeps up against a Leather Face expy, Honda isn't exactly a wuss either, Kaiba kicks the crap out of a couple of people, Anzu throws some mean punches, Yami Yugi is hinted at being quite capable (particularly in the Toei anime, where he has no troubles slamming his puzzle into the wall or kicking the daylights out of two of Kaiba's mooks who were twice his size (off-screen, sadly) and Yami Bakura wasn't exactly weak either; let's not even start bringing up their past selves, who were all without a doubt trained in combat. | |

The two-person non-lethal takedowns in Deus Ex: Human Revolution often begin with the targets attempting to expertly melee Jensen followed by an equally expert counter and finishing move. The takedowns can be done not just on enemies but also regular NPCs. This means that you can witness elaborate martial battles not just between Jensen and soldiers, but between Jensen and ordinary civilians or even between Jensen and street prostitutes. | |

The climax of Blazing Saddles. After the "fake Rock Ridge" is blown up by the Waco Kid, Sheriff Bart leads every single one of the townspeople in a wild and confused attack on Hedley Lamarr's gang. Even the women throw punches, the preacher knees some guy in the groin (immediately asking God to forgive him for that), and the town drunk knocks a thug simply by breathing on him. The free-for-all eventually literally Breaks The Fourth Wall — not that there was much of one, to begin with — onto the Warner Brothers studio lot where Blazing Saddles is being filmed, with other productions being swept up in the turmoil and everyone eventually fighting their way into the studio cafeteria, where one of the cooks just happens to have a huge tray of custard pies handy so the entire cast can throw pies at each other. | |

Turns out to be true for Thief 1, and to some extent 2. As the secret "outtakes" level proved, the same sword fighting system which allowed guards, humanoid monsters, and undead alike to go weapon-to-sword with Garret also works with all those harmless human servants, ballerinas, and passersby - if they weren't flagged to act as scared noncombatants they could kick your ass unarmed with the same moves, probably while whimpering in fear. The developer notes lampshade it kind of looks like kung fu. | |

From Assassin's Creed II onwards, if you pickpocket anyone and they catch sight of Ezio, the victim will attempt to punch him out. Keyword being attempt: It doesn't take many punches from Ezio to put them in their place. | |

Smartly inverted in The Gallagher Girls series: the characters (teenagers who also attend spy school) are completely used to everyone knowing kung fu, and so they don't realize until after beating off a kidnap attempt that ordinary kidnappers shouldn't have been expecting a senator's daughter and her best friend to know this much about martial arts. | |

Becoming a vampire on Buffy the Vampire Slayer (and Angel, by proxy) didn't just mean gaining immortality or super strength... it also meant automatic Kung Fu prowess. Why is being a vampire bad again? Oh yeah, that sun thing. And that soulless monster thing. Lampshaded in "Lessons": Except in Vampire Harmony's early appearances, particularly the scene where she and Xander get into a hilarious slap-fight, complete with epic music and slow-motion. Lampshaded in one episode where Dawn complains that it takes her forever to learn any martial arts whereas all newborn vampires "seem to spend a couple of months at the same tae kwon do school". Lampshaded in "Anne" when the Scooby Gang are hunting vampires while Buffy's out of town and encounter a newborn vampire who hands them their asses in this fashion. When Xander, pissed-off, demands to know how the hell he learned that stuff, Oz recognizes him as a former classmate who used to be captain of the gymnastics team. |

Hong Kong Action Theatre may be a better example of this trope in tabletop games than Feng Shui. In this game, every character, whether they specialize in melee, gunplay, sorcery, or just kicking ass Martial Arts Movie style, knows Kung Fu. You even get to select your character's specific style of Kung Fu upon creation! | |

One episode of Family Guy had the entire family break out into an epic brawl after criticizing each other's faults. Ironically (or maybe not), this brought the family closer together. Not to mention the multiple chicken fights. | |

Played with in the 2008 Speed Racer film, as everyone in the Racer family is able to prodigiously defend themselves against enemy racers, ninjas, etc. Most of them somehow know Kung Fu, although Pops uses his wrestling pedigree to kick ass with Good Old Fisticuffs. The exception is the Racers' mechanic Sparky, who is totally useless in a fight and repeatedly has to be bailed out by his infinitely more skilled companions. | |

One episode of Charmed had no supernatural enemies whatsoever. Instead, the episode's villain was a corrupt District Attorney who was trying to frame his mistress for murder. Towards the end of the episode, the mistress confronts the District Attorney and the two of them suddenly engage in a brief kung fu fight completely out of left field. | |

One of the initial criticisms of The Batman was that seemingly every villain was an expert hand-to-hand combatant, including traditionally poor fighters like Joker and Penguin. This was toned down as the show went on (for better or for worse), although it always existed to some extent. | |

In the roleplaying game Feng Shui, one of the cardinal rules of combat is that everyone — EVERYONE — knows at least some kung fu. They might not have enough skill for it to register in their stats, but if a character is capable of more motion than your average baby, then they know kung fu. Except for those who have just the Guns skill combat-wise, like the Killer or the Techie. Those guys just dive around, take cover, and use the Guns and Gunplay Tropes to full effect (and they probably know Gun Fu). Or the Sorcerer, who uses the Sorcery skill to rain all over his enemies' parade. Sometimes literally. |

Miami Connection is the simple timeless story of a taekwondo rock band having to fight against street thugs and drug-dealing biker ninjas. Nearly everyone in it knows martial arts, even a nightclub owner and assorted extras. You can easily tell that most of the characters are played by martial artists, not actors. | |
