The ability to float through the air without the aid of a mechanical device such as a jetpack, or the usual biological aids, such as wings.

Martial arts are a popular set of skills that many video game characters possess. Martial arts are the cornerstone of any fighting game, and have influenced many platforming and adventure games.
