But Japan also had samurais, who wielded swords, and the Philippines also had escrima sticks. Aside from boxing and wrestling, are there any other bare-handed martial arts that don't come from Asia?

And ToriJ, I don't know who that is, but that does NOT look like Ronda Rousey to me. I'd like to know the identity of the person whose picture you posted, though, but she is not Ronda Rousey.
