I agree with the comments that Martial Arts just came to be out of necessity.

Martials Arts are basically just a systemized way of fighting. Humans have been fighting other animals for food since Day one and it's been proven that our ancestors came up with a systematic way of killing animals. They repeatedly used the same techniques to kill certain prey. Eventually they end up killing eachother and figure out more efficient ways of fighting eachother. Just like how to kill animals, the ways of fighting eachother get passed on generation to generation.
