| LOL no its not a martial art.
I guess it depends on the context you play it in. If its for fun and as a casual hobby then it is a pastime, if its competitively then its a sport. |

| It would be a martial art if you threw your darts AT your opponent. That is frowned upon in the league I'm in. |

| Martial Art if you play it right. A mate and I (when we are drunk and our aim has gone to poo) play a game of firt to hit a bullseye NINJA style. You hold the darts point first at the board with your non throwing hand and then you smash them out as quick as you can back handed style like ninja spikes untill you hit a bull. You would be suprised at how many bulls you can get arfter a bit of practice. I like the term sport anyhow's cus im getting older and fatter so this is my exercise. |

| If shooting an arrow at a target in archery is a sport i.e. (an Olympic sport at that.) then how can throwing an arrow at a dart board be considered anything else but a sport??? Some will argue it's a game but aren't all sports a game? Basketball a game, football a game, baseball a game and so on....... Hat  |

Lol wouldn't like your chances of getting one of those back out of the board if you are a power thrower! 'Keep it kool  ' |
