Classes

• Even a master martial artist might like to explore unfamiliar areas by taking some classes in another style. Do some research to find out what martial art the gift recipient specializes in, and then investigate some local options for classes that may interest him. Find out the gift recipient's schedule to select a convenient time to schedule the classes, and then decide how many classes you would like to book. If you cannot choose between class options, mix it up and book several classes from different concentrations. If you are unsure about the person's interests or schedule, try giving him a voucher for a class of his choosing.
  
  

Clothing

• Depending on the person's martial arts specialty, she might appreciate a new uniform. Investigate your options and choose a uniform that fits your budget. If you want to give the person a clothing item that reflects her passion for martial arts but do not want to go to the trouble of getting a professional uniform, try giving her a novelty clothing item, such as a clever T-shirt that has to do with martial arts; there are options available ranging from hats to sweatshirts, so choose an item that you think she would be most comfortable in.
  
  

Supplies

• The martial artist might require new supplies besides clothes. First, find out what the person's specialty is if you do not already know. It may also be helpful to ask what specific needs he has, because you do not want to give him something he will not use. General supplies include martial arts mats and punching bags, which are typically useful across a variety of martial arts disciplines. For a more specific gift, investigate different weapons or training materials that could be of use to the gift recipient.
  
  

Movies

• Regardless of the gift recipient's specific martial arts discipline, a movie package might be a suitable gift idea. You can go with kung fu classics from Hong Kong action cinema--look to movie entries about Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee or Jet Li for inspiration. Place your selections in a gift basket and fill in the empty spaces with other movie goodies. For instance, you can include some popcorn or movie theater candy for a taste treat, or if the person is a health nut, throw in some gift certificates for movie rentals in case he wants to peruse other martial arts-inspired films.
