Martial Arts by Genre... And who made them famous

Aikido= O-Sensei Morihei Ueshiba (the founder of Aikido)
Steven Seagal (7th degree black belt and Actor)
Based from what I read, aikido originated from Juijitsu, Samurai, and Aiki... Those were the ancient martial arts by the Japanese and was often used during the war..

Juijitsu= The Gracie family
There are many variands of Juijitsu, and this martial art is made famous by Royce Gracie when he joined the UFC....

Jeet Kune Do= Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee

Tai Chi= Jet Li

Boxing= Manny Pacquiao and Erik Morales
Hehehehe.. well, I'm sure that they are not the only famous boxers around. There are the likes of Mohammed Ali, Mike Tyson, Evander Hollifield, etc..

Muay Thai= Famous around the world, but I can't think of a person who uses this art and is known for it. The way I see it, this art is very practical now a days.

Tae Kwan Do= Hwarang?? Hehe.. This is made know around the world by the Koreans.... Thanks to them, we are able to learn the art of Kicking.. Kicking someone's ass.. Hahaha

Well, there are still different kinds of Martial Arts around the world, and there are loads of them. For now, this are the things that came into my mind.
