I know there are thousnads of martial arts out there, so it would only make sense if every country had its own style of..*quote* " fighting " *quote*......
China - Kung Fu
Japan - Karate
Korea - Tae Kwon Do
Philippines - Philipino stick fighting (or something like that)
U.S.A./England - boxing (more of a sport though)

(just to name a few countries)....give me your input
 
pretty much almost every country has some form that i can think of, there are about 180 countries. many of them have multiple forms like the ones you mentioned, the first 4 alone have over 2000 martial arts,
its not limited to empty handed styles.
almost all European countries have some fencing styles as well as quarterstaff
okinawa is the birth place of karate
it did migrate to japan, but japan is more jujutsu, iaijutsu/iaido and kenjutsu/kendo
vietnamese have there own style
the various african countries have an assortment of weapons they each use, as well as the many tribes they have. the middle east has a number of styles,
as much as i hat it wikipedia does have a list, its not close to being finished but its a start
