One can achieve amazing things by properly training the body. But in fiction, it's possible to gain even greater ability through daily meditation and training the mind. The end result being, the characters condition themselves to exceed their human limitations until they unlock their true potential. As such, it's a staple of martial arts-related media, Anime, and Fighting Games. It often overlaps with Martial Arts and Crafts and frequently includes the use of Dangerous Forbidden Techniques. Distinct from Kung-Fu Wizard, wherein someone has martial arts and magic, but they're separate abilities. Contrast Mind over Matter, wherein someone can do amazing things with the brain, but not necessarily the body. Dragons Up the Yin Yang are a common visual motif. Not to be confused with Full-Contact Magic, which is magic first, fighting second. Compare Charles Atlas Superpower, where training, usually in the Far East, can make you better than any human in normal reality at plausibly mundane feats, and Ki Manipulation for less mundane ones. See also Fantastic Fighting Style. |

Wonder Woman (1942): Originally most of Wonder Woman's abilities (outside of immortality) were the result of Amazon martial arts which granted her powers like Super-Strength, Super-Speed, Super-Reflexes, mild telepathic abilities and the ability to glide on air currents. It was implied any human could master these abilities with enough time and patience. | |

Mysticism in RuneQuest is all about supernatural martial arts, usually gained by giving in to temptation while trying to Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence. (Frankly, a lot of monastic disciples are really there just to advance to the point where the temptations offered are really good.) Some non-mystic religions offer similar powers; notably, in Mongoose Publishing's Second Age books, there's a brawler who can literally hit you so hard your parents die. | |

Old World of Darkness: There's a whole Splat of these guys in the game Mage: The Ascension, the Akashic Brotherhood. They are (mostly) Asiatic monks with a specialty in Mind magic who weave their spells through various meditation techniques and practice a specific type of kung-fu magic called Do ("The Way"), which they claim is the martial art upon which all others are based. Werewolf: The Apocalypse: In addition to being one of the more mystical werewolf tribes, the Stargazers invented a martial art called Kailindo, which incorporates a werewolf's shapeshifting abilities and bits of wind-magic. The Children of Gaia practice a staff-based martial art called Iskakku. Vampire: The Masquerade: vampires can learn Kibatsumejutsu, "the art of fighting with claw and fang". It was mentioned in the Combat sourcebook, and quickly forgotten, it seems. |

Kung Fu Panda: Spoofed with the Wuxi Finger Hold in the first movie's final battle scene — flexing a single finger causes a massive blast wave that may or may not disintegrate the target. There's also the nerve attack, which causes brief flashes of light when it hits. Kung Fu Panda 2: There's Po catching and throwing back cannonballs (well, explosive fireworks cannonballs, but still...) due to having achieved Inner Peace. Kung Fu Panda 3: Po learns to give chi with some help from Tigress and a secret village of pandas, which not only bathes everything in golden light but can fill biological vessels with life energy. |

Starting in Diablo II, the Assassin is a member of a clan that were originally sorcerers before they dedicated themselves to killing rogue sorcerers. As such they decided to forsake magic and instead focus on using technology and supernatural martial arts including the ability to attack enemies with their minds, meld with shadows to make themselves resistant to damage, kick fire at foes, and run faster than the eye can see to kick someone. The Barbarian and Amazon may also count as some of their skills mix supernatural powers with combat expertise. In the sequel Diablo III, the Monk takes over here with the Demon Hunter following behind. | |

Naruto: One of the many ways chakra can be used is to increase a being's already considerable physical abilities like the chakra gates or the Akimichi clan's body expansion techniques. Gentle Fist, a martial art in which lightly tapping an opponent allows the user to insert chakra into them that damages their internal organs and disrupts their own chakra flow. Since this requires hitting Pressure Points with incredible precision and there's slight variation in the pressure points from one person to the next, this martial art requires X-Ray Vision to perform and thus is exclusive to the Hyuga clan. Toad Kumite is a martial art that utilizes Sage Mode's increased sensory and physical prowess, as well as its ability to control the nature energy around the user (as demonstrated when Naruto punched one of Pain's bodies despite not having physically connected, by using nature energy as an extension of himself). |

Phantom Dust has the ki school as one of its five skill sets. In addition to basic punches and kicks strong enough to put holes in solid concrete walls, it allows the player to jump thirty feet in the air, dash at lightning speeds, fire ki blasts, enhance their strength and walking speed, brush aside speeding fireballs and laser blasts, regenerate health, and apparently punch the memories out of their target, making them forget their skills. | |

The post-apocalyptic world of Fist of the North Star (and its prequel, Fist of the Blue Sky, set in pre-WW2 China) is the home of literally hundreds of different supernatural martial arts techniques, usually involving the manipulation of chi, either the users own or his opponents. The main one being of course the Hokuto Shinken (North Star Dipper Fist) used by main character Kenshiro, and his step brothers and fellow students Raoh, Toki, and Jagi. By manipulating pressure points and chi channels, the Hokuto Shinken can be used both as an incredibly devastating weapon, causing your opponent to explode violently, or as a method of healing. There is also the Nanto Seiken (South Dipper Holy Fist) which is essentially the counterpart to the Hokuto Sinken and involves using chi and pressure points to cause damage from the outside rather than the inside. It's used by both villains such as Shin and Souther, and heroes such as Rei. On top of these two, there are dozens of minor styles used by other characters. | |

Dragon Ball: Thanks to the wuxia influences on the series, the story jumps into ki moves very early on with the introduction of the Kamehameha. More uses include flying, cloning yourself, reading minds, teleportation, and endless other examples. For quite a long time however they are used primarily as special moves due to the amount of ki required to use them, but at about the time the Dragon Ball Z split occurs, they start becoming more common in battle. In the early Dragon Ball, a character knowing how to use their ki, such as Tao Pai-Pai and Tenshinhan, is a clear indicator that they are someone to be taken seriously, and thus there's a clear divide between them and the more generic fighters and wrestlers who tend to be knocked out early in the Tenkaichi Budokai by the ki-using characters. | |

Marco Polo has the character of Hundred Eyes doing some kung fu of... questionable plausibility. The in-universe explanation is that he has access to all of the original works of Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism (including secret ones, that were only accessible at his original monastery). The real explanation is probably that the directors just really like Wuxia movies (and likely know that their audience does too: so they're putting it in to make all the "boring" history go down easier). The moves are all real, but their power level is just a smidge too high. Nothing is so far out of the ordinary as to be ridiculous to the uninitiated, but far enough to raise the eyebrows of any dancer or actual martial artist. The series also has Jia Sidao, the Chinese prime minister, know some of these moves. The "Grasshopper" Technique that they both use was indeed a real thing (as was the practice of keeping grasshoppers and getting them to fight by tickling them). However, it did not actually let you defy the laws of physics. It is also not biologically possible to reset a dislocated joint on your own body, which Hundred Eyes does several times. Slightly justified in that Marco Polo is not a completely reliable narrator, and people at the time actually believed that martial artists manipulated the energy of the universe (chi or ki) to do things that people (wrongly) assumed were impossible. This belief is kind of the reason why this trope exists in the first place, so its presence in the series is not ridiculous. Especially since removing the physics-defying moves would not affect the story's continuity. | |

World of Warcraft features the Monk class, introduced in Mists of Pandaria, primarily in the Windwalker and Mistweaver specs (damage and healing, respectively). Windwalkers empower their punches and kicks with Ki Manipulation and occasionally Elemental Powers, while Mistweavers use martial arts techniques to restore their mana to power healing spells. (The tanking spec, Brewmaster, more fits the Drunken Master or Drunken Boxing trope.) | |

Overlord has these which are, indeed, named Martial Arts. And they are sometimes compared to that of a warrior's version of magic which can allow for effects such as enhancing the cutting power of one's blade, increasing a fighter's senses and concentration, augment their entire bodies for short periods, etc. In fact, Martial Arts are native power to the New World that YGGDRASIL people do not have. | |

Black Clover revolves around the use of mana to perform magic and spells as a means of offense and defense. However, most mages in the series are an example of the Squishy Wizard, and most do not have impressive physical traits, making them weak against straightforward physical strikes like punches and kicks. Likewise, most mages do not know how to handle themselves in battle if their magic is neutralized in some way. Yami, one of the captains of the Magic Knight squads, possesses the highest physical stats out of all of the captains. This gives him an edge in most combat situations, since not only is he able to dish out physical damage really well, but he can take it too. | |

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid introduced the "Strike Arts", a magic-augmented close-combat martial arts form. Later, a character appears with knowledge of the "Kaiser Arts", basically a stronger form from the Ancient Belkan era. Belkan magic in general is essentially weapon-using magical martial arts that started by augmenting the user's strength, speed, and defense, later moving on to elemental energy. The focus on physical enhancement distinguishes Belkan magic from the Mid-Childan style of Full-Contact Magic. | |

Super Daryl Deluxe: Daryl's unique fighting style (learned from a self-help book, "Interacting with Others") includes throwing out fire with punches and kicks, but that's on the mundane side of what he learns to do. Shooting rubber ducks with a bow and arrow or spontaneously summoning whack-a-moles is where he crosses over into I Know Kung-Faux. | |

Pathfinder: Numerous "Style Feats" involve a character using a particular, usually unarmed, fighting style. While most of them are fairly mundane (such as Snake Style's focus on quick movements and opportunistic strikes or Crane Style's emphasis on deflecting and countering an opponent's attacks), some of them have supernatural qualities: The four "genie" styles (Djinni, Efreeti, Marid, and Shaitan) enhance the character's use of a particular element (electricity, fire, cold, and acid, respectively) with the Elemental Fist feat. Illusive Gnome Style draws on the natural affinity gnomes have for illusion magic to enhance their ability to feint in combat. Similar to D&D's Tome of Battle, the Path of War supplement for Pathfinder adds martial maneuvers, several of which are explicitly labeled as supernatural. For example, followers of the Solar Wind discipline can add fire damage to ranged attacks, while Silver Crane disciples can heal allies when attacking enemies. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Films featuring Doctor Strange showcase a lot of the sorcerers using martial art moves in spellcasting, with many of their training sessions involving them practicing their posing. Many also use magic to generate swords, shields, javelins, and whips. While not everyone can perform magic, a great deal of the populace have the potential for it and were once ordinary folk who stepped into the Sanctum. In Spider-Man: No Way Home Ned accidentally discovers he too is able to perform magic by picking up a sling ring and mimicking the poses that Strange did. | |

One-Punch Man has the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist - it allows an 80-year-old man to slice through extremely dangerous monsters like they were butter. Mastering the above, along with the Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist and a bunch of others is what makes Garou such a potent threat, leading him to eventually develop the Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist, which allows him to overpower the entire S-Class until he is stopped abruptly by Saitama. Suiryu, as well as his grandfather and his sister Suiko practice the Void Fist, and his grandfather is said to be the best replacement for the aforementioned 80-year old man when he retires. |

A variant in The Stormlight Archive is used by Szeth, the Assassin in White. While highly trained in martial arts of various styles, the martial arts themselves aren't magical. However, when coupled with the powers of Surgebinding, particularly Windrunning, they become terrifyingly deadly. A soft style focused on grapples and throws can be absurdly lethal when coupled with the ability to change which direction gravity is pulling someone. At one point Szeth flows through an entire room of opponents, lightly touching them and sending them smashing into the ceiling far above. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The Tome of Battle of 3.5E. Some Diamond Mind maneuvers allow you to slow time down by being really focused and good at hitting people with swords. The Desert Wind maneuver group, which creates fire (usually). The Shadow Hand maneuver group, which allows you to turn invisible, teleport, walk through walls, and create illusions by being really focused. Given the book explicitly takes inspiration from Anime and Wuxia martial arts films, Martial Adepts are this trope — Crusaders can regenerate anything short of instant death, cut through the armor plating of an iron golem with a normal metal sword, and issue commands so forceful they crash the action economy; while Warblades can strike an opponent fourteen times in six seconds, ignore poison and disease by gritting their teeth, and wield a two-handed sword while grappled. Despite being known infamously among fans and players as the "Book of Weeaboo Fighting Magic", these abilities are noted as coming from an extraordinary as opposed to a magical source — they can still do these feats even in an Anti-Magic field that would stop Wizards and Sorcerers dead in their tracks. The Monk character class from various editions uses magically potent martial arts through Ki Manipulation. Details vary by edition, but 3.5 Monks have a rather eclectic collection of abilities including moving fast, surviving crazy falls, dodging fireballs, immunity to diseases and poisons, resistance to magic, teleportation, turning ethereal, speaking with any creature with a language, killing people with a touch and ceasing to age. Various prestige classes provide alternative specializations and flavor. |

The Mortal Kombat series of video games. Characters can hurl fireballs and even shoot lasers from Ki attacks. In Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, characters can still fight on despite having what looks like a giant World War 1 trench sword sticking out of them from an "impaling" move. Special mention to Evil Sorceror Quan Chi, whose martial art skills actually stem from using his magic to become an Instant Expert in fighting styles like Tang Soo Do and Escrima. At one point he loses access to his powers, and it transpires that his actual, native skill level is closer to a novice. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra: Elemental bending is something between this and Full-Contact Magic, as bending is basically regular, real-world martial arts moves used by people who can cause movement of a certain element to utilize the element more efficiently. All four bending styles are based on real-world Chinese martial arts: Waterbending is Tai chi, airbending Baguazhang, firebending Northern Shaolin kung fu, and earthbending Hung Gar. Also as with real-world martial arts, they evolve and change over long periods of time, with new schools spinning off of the ancient traditions. Toph Beifong's earthbending style is actually unique from the other earthbenders and is based on Chu Gar (Southern Praying Mantis style, to be exact), which, incidentally, is said to have been created by a blind woman. In another common feature with martial arts, many of the bending styles are inspired by natural phenomena and the movements of creatures. Waterbenders learned it from the tides, airbenders from flying bison, earthbenders from badgermoles, and firebenders from dragons. The Legend of Korra clarifies that the actual ability to bend was granted by lion turtles before every spirit departed the world when the Spirit World and human world were cut off from each other. Spirits called such temporarily empowered humans pejorative terms like "fire-tossers", using the powers in clumsy manners, until observing and mimicking the natural elemental creatures to use the abilities in more refined manners. |

Cradle Series: Absolutely everyone trains in the sacred arts, which result in incredible powers of attack and defense, a supernaturally powerful body, and even utility abilities like Forging items out of thin air. Since anyone can become stronger in every single way with dedication and practice, there is no reason not to learn the sacred arts.

Kill Six Billion Demons: Based as it is (partially) on eastern mythology and wuxia, there are a ton of supernatural martial arts in the universe, both shown in-comic, described in The Rant in the "Manual of Hands and Feet" segments, or described in Shattered Worlds. Martial arts are separated into External and Internal arts (with some being both) depending on how they manipulate the user's Atum and tend to have fanciful and descriptive names such as Empty Palms, Pattram Sword Hand, or Head of John. The cake is absolutely taken by Ki Rata, however, a martial art so potent that it can be realistically compared to nuclear weaponry. While it has several techniques, the most important is a breathing technique that allows one to focus their atum to an infinitesimally small point. The power and danger of Ki Rata is so great that the only masters of the art existed only to kill anyone who learned or independently discovered Ki Ratas principles to prevent it from being used. |

One Piece: Rokushiki (Six Powers) has Charles Atlas Superpower applications, like Super-Toughness and kicks strong enough to create Razor Wind, but the practice also extends to complete body control, Ki Manipulation and Not Quite Flight. We also have Fishman Karate, a form of karate practiced by the Fishman race (though humans can learn it too) that allows them to manipulate water, including in the atmosphere, which grants for some strong moves (and injuring characters who are otherwise pretty invulnerable to blunt force like Rubber Man Luffy.) Connected to the above is Fishman Jujutsu and Merman Combat, which is much more focused on manipulating the water as a tangible substance, including shaping and forming it. Then we have Hasshoken, exclusive to the Chinjao Family/Happo Navy. This martial arts allows the user to generate and manipulate vibrations to generate shockwaves for greater damage. Though they're concentric waves unlike the seismic force of the vibrations of the Gura Gura no Mi. Lao G practices a martial arts style unique to himself, Geo-Fist, which grows stronger the older the user is. It also prevents him from feeling pain, and, when mastered, can restore his body's musculature to that of someone in their prime. |

Jade Empire, in addition to more conventional martial arts, has Ki-powered styles that involve throwing fire from your hands, bringing down storms of hail, and causing localized earth tremors, among other things. Even one of the "conventional" Martial Styles lets you grow Wolverine-like claws out of your knuckles. And don't forget the martial arts that turn you into various monsters. |

Super Sentai and Power Rangers: Gosei Sentai Dairanger is a Wuxia-inspired Sentai show, in which the Rangers can manipulate their Ki. This gives them abilities like Playing with Fire, mastery over gravity, and being able to slow down or rewind time. Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger/Power Rangers Ninja Storm has two ninja schools that teach their students to harness Elemental Powers, such as running through the air, walking on water or digging underground. Juken Sentai Gekiranger/Power Rangers Jungle Fury features two schools of martial arts that allow the user to manifest an Animal Battle Aura. The school the Rangers belong to teaches its students to draw power from their own determination, while the villainous martial arts school has its practitioners draw power from the fear of their victims. |

Breathing Styles in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba take the real-world concept of training breathing control and push it into the realm of fantasy, where these skills are the gateway to superhuman abilities that allow the Demon Slayer Corps to stand on equal footing with their prey. Breathing Styles are categorized by Elemental Motifs, but despite appearances do not grant magical powers. However, later down the story, more overt supernatural abilities are unveiled as the pinnacle of Breathing discipline; Demon Slayer Mark, Transparent World, and finally Crimson Blades. | |

Street Fighter games let you throw fireballs, or even make your body a fireball. Averted with Guile's Sonic Boom. In one licensed strategy guide, techniques such as Ryu and Ken's hadouken fireball were stated to be a form of Ki Attack, hence a few frames of lag in-game after they used it - the fighters were weaponizing their own life energy. Guile had no such lag after using his projectile attack, and that was explained as he was literally making a sonic boom by just swinging his fists really fast. |
