You mean like in DBZ, and the Street Fighter, Tekken and Virtua Fighter games? The short answer is no because you are looking at insane logistics. In the DBZ universe apparently the economics of that world are much simpler, consequently making it easier to organize a world Martial Arts tourney. In Street Fighter, Tekken and Virtua Fighter the organizer is always an "evil and powerful corporation" worth untold trillions. The fiction of the major fighting game franchies explains, that those world tourneys exist, because the sponsors are loaded.
Is it necessary to have a "word warrior tournament" for the plot of this games? Absolutely; that is how the freakish skills of characters Ken, Ryu, Kazuya, etc, are justified. The general logic is, that if you TRULY created a world warrior tournament, the winners would all be freaks of nature. You would get your Zangiefs, your Guiles, people who have abnormal strength and surreal dexterity. In the street fighter and tekken games, the character roster you see, are the finalists of a tournament which has millions of fighters, literally millions, that is why they have abnormal skills in martial arts and how the fiction is justified.

Martial arts weapons most likely started off as hunting implements during the earliest days of man thousands of centuries ago. Then, as different groups began to fight over territory or access to food, they started using their bows and arrows and spears on each other. This led to the implements being used as military weapons (martial arts are a natural outpouring of war). People later came to look upon weapons training as a form of discipline. This led to the continued practice of weapons even during times of peace. This is why students of Chinese martial arts, for example, are required to practiced swords, spears, and staves even though they have no real use for them in the modern world.
I like Jamie chung to win but lets hope she does fight a muscular female fighter in one of her movies it would be cool!
Japanese martial arts are more of a origin based thing and have been around way longer than American martial arts. American martial arts in my opinion are not as effective in real world fighting and are mainly sports based such as Taekwondo. I hope this answers your question!

Martial arts is an amazing skill that, unlike other time wasting activities, can help you survive in real life.
I believe it is based on nin-jutsu although there are a few hints of tae-kwon-do and karate
There never has been. There are no real full championships that include all martial arts. Different styles have competitions and there are numerous groups formed to set rules and run fights, but there is no single, any martial art, no rule contests anywhere.

She knows 16 styles of kung-fu, including the Praying Mantis style (a real thing). Ron and Rufus posses Mystical Monkey Power (not a real thing), but neither has previous martial arts experience.
Kung Fu can trace its roots back many centuries. It is a real martial art with a colorful history.
You should research online articles and watch videos of different arts. Reading books about martial arts is good too; we'd recommend a handbook of martial arts by Fay Goodman if you're into something like jeet kune do, but most likely there is someone in your area who practices martial arts, so try to find someone who can teach you until you can find a class to attend (they don't have to be a 6th-dan blackbelt master).
No, cage fighting, or mixed martial arts is not fake. the hits are real, the blood is real, the broken bones are real, and the outcomes are not predetermined
