Rasulallah Muhammad (saw) said
"If any one of you has a fight with his brother, let him avoid the face"
(Al-Bukhaari 2560, Muslim 2612)
Sport fighting and martial art is allowed but Muslim must avoid hit the opponent face/head. This a reason why many Ulama issued fatwa haram for boxing, because in boxing a boxer always and only hit the opponent face/head.
But actually this fatwa is only for boxing match in real match or training match with sparing partner. Boxing as self defense or boxing that hit sand bag is allowed. Fist fight that not targeting head is also allowed.
And Ulama never issued fatwa haram for other martial arts, because in karate, kungfu, or other martial art sport, opponent head is not the main and only target.
