is yoga, archery, boxing, tai chi, tae bo, and capoiera consider a martial art?

Yoga has nothing to do with combat at all. It can supplement the martial arts, but other than that it's all it's own thing.

Archery... I wouldn't call it a martial art, but does have combat value, but not in a self defense sort of way. A few traditional Japanese martial art schools do include Kyudo as a practice, but mostly as a sport. Some Japanese schools (educational, not martial) have Kyudo clubs just as they have Kendo clubs.

Boxing is a sport, but is a person to person contact combat sport, so yes, boxing is classified as a martial art.

Tai Chi is popular as a health exercise, but it originated as martial art. Hao Quan evolved into Taijiquan, which was practiced slowly and solo to hide techniques. It was created by an acupuncturist and pratitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, who intigrated more than just combat training into it's practice.

Tae Bo is a cardio workout and has little to no martial art value whatsoever. Just because you throw a punch or kick doesn't mean you're practicing combat in any way. It doesn't teach, it only exercises you.

Capoeira is a martial art, only with with dance weaved into it. Most is done without combat application, but there are still those who teach for what it was originally for.

Yoga - No but it played a heavy role in inspiring many Chinese Martial Arts.

Archery - For warfare, yes.

Boxing - Yes and I say that only because it was employed for combat well before it became a sport.

Tai Chi - Yes

Tae bo - No

Capoiera - Yes

A martial art is just that...a MARTIAL art, martial meaning war, combat... or fighting for your life. Yoga and tae bo do not fall into this category and cannot be considered a martial skill/art.

Archery is, in my opinion, definitely a martial art, as is tai chi chuan when done correctly. Boxing and capoiera are "on the fence" in that they are now mainly fighting sport or activity/dance as opposed to true martial art.

Martial arts are codified systems of combat.

Yoga and tae bo have no combat elements, so they are not martial arts.

Archery and boxing are martial sports, since they have combat elements they can arguably be considered martial arts.

Capoeira is a martial art, although hardcore practitioners just consider it a dance.

Tai chi (depending on what you learn, there is a soft and hard style ), is a martial art.

yoga? nope

archery? no

boxing? no. not a martial art, but a fighting art

tai chi? yes

Tae Bo? Yes

Capoiera? yes

yoga: no.

archery: not sure but maybe.

boxing is considered a contact sport.

tai chi: yes and no maybe.

tae bo: no.

capoeira: yes.

martial art in its more simple definition is war skill.

i dont know if archery is martial art any longer, but it was.

tai chi, there are two forms, one is a combat method, the other is for health.

The literal definition is that you create something using your imagination and bring it into physical reality through your art. And that which you are creating is a product or byproduct of the ability to wage war.

Yoga is more like a meditation to seek religious enlightenment, thus it may be an art but it's not a martial one.

What most people do in civilized nations is neither martial nor an art. Meaning what they are doing is copying something without the physical application or practicality. And without the practicality, it has little to do with war either.

There's a significant controversy about whether martial arts can be considered martial when the users have never used it for life and death circumstances, battles, or anything approaching that. Only in safe competitions and sport have it been used by them, yet that does not count as a battle.

A style has never been a person, so it has never and will never matter what a style has or does not have. When people speak of styles, they speak of an abstract interpretation that has little practical value to the individual that lives and breathes on this world. It is not styles that have or do not have. It is only people who have or do not have skills, power, and abilities. An art can only be created and viewed by a person. An abstract concept like a style, neither appreciates art nor can it create art. I use abstract concepts like anyone else, yet I understand the difference and limitation between abstract and "practical".

yogi and tai bo both have no combat aspect at all and would never be considers a martial art.

archery, taichi boxing and capoiera all have combat aspects.even though me and many others consider any thing with rules a martial sport some consider them all martial arts

It kind of depends on what definition you use, but that art of combat does include things like archery.

I'm not sure anyone's definition of martial arts would include yoga.

No, to an extent, yes, yes, no, yes.

A martial art is a discipline for use in combat. I classify archery "to an extent" because contemporary archers don't typically use their bows for a combat situation.
