===Martial arts training===
The purpose of martial arts training is to push one's physical condition so that they become stronger, to gain knowledge and practice in the principles of fighting, and, for advanced Martial Artists, to hone their spiritual energy, or ki. Training can take many forms, even through meditation or other non-physical methods. Examples of martial arts training in Dragon Ball include: Grandpa Gohan's training (Pre-Dragon Ball), Master Roshi's Training (Tournament Saga), Korin's training (Commander Red Saga and King Piccolo Saga), and Mr. Popo’s training (Piccolo Jr. Saga and Vegeta Saga).
Examples of martial arts training in Dragon Ball Z include: Piccolo’s training (Vegeta Saga), King Kai's training (Vegeta Saga Namek Saga), Grand Elder Guru’s Unlock Potential (Namek Saga), Goku’s Gravity Machine training (Namek Saga), Yardrat training (Garlic Jr. Saga), training for the Android conflict (Trunks Saga), Hyperbolic Time Chamber training (Imperfect Cell Saga, Perfect Cell Saga and Fusion Saga), Grand Kai's training (Other World Saga), Chi-Chi's training (Great Saiyaman Saga), Mr. Satan's training (World Tournament Saga), and Old Kai's Unlock Ability (Fusion Saga).
