Do you consider Boxing and Amateur Wrestling as Martial-Arts?

I would say Boxing is. The basic of martial-art is punch IMHO and Boxing teaches you how to throw powerful punches.

As far as Amateur Wrestling. I'm not so sure (not the one we watch on WWE, but on Olympic and Schools). It does need a lot of power and stamina to take your opponent down and to lock the opponent. So yes, I would say Amateur Wrestling is a Martial-Art too.

But IYO?

    To be perfectly honest I am a bit over what something counts at. If you like something, you are having fun and it makes you happy then I am happy for you. If it counts as a martial arts, a combat sport or dancing I don't really care. It's totally unimportant and irrelevant to anything really.
