Other than the ones I've already seen of course. Check my list before you suggest something (tiny list).

It doesn't have to be all about martial arts though, it could incorporate it in some way or another. It can be sport fighting too. I don't realy mind things with a lot of gory/explicit material, but I'd rather not read such.

Hit me with suggestions.
Deconstruction ≠ Darker & Edgier
Trope ≠ Cliché (Face it, nothing is completely original. Can't make something from nothing so to say.).
Fanservice ≠ Ecchi (Though ecchi can please the fans!)
Popular ≠ Sucks... maybe
Seinen = K-ON! Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen and Josei are demographics.
Anime/Manga = Japanese Cartoons! Deal with it.

Dragon Ball (not Z) is about martial arts. Though it including ki attack over the time.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

Baccano
Black Lagoon
Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi

And Gintama to an extent, considering their country was taken over by aliens. Though the anime doesn't disappoint; It's damn hilarious and action packed, and is my personal favorite of the one's I mentioned so far:

These two videos should accurately show you what I mean (though they're spoilers).

"It doesn't have to be all about martial arts though, it could incorporate it in some way or another."

Is that all? You gonna recommend something or run your mouth?

I definitely didn't see Legend of Condor Heroes on your list. This is not an incredibly popular anime but it was popular enough for them to dub the first 26 episodes in english. I think they have up to episode 54 subbed online. The last four there are no subs I don't think.

In my opinion its the coolest martial arts anime I've ever seen. Excellent story and excellent combat.

The story behind it as far as I know is that a chinese novel got incredibly popular. Someone brought it to Japan to make an anime...somehow it was brought to the US for a dub...I'm probably missing a few steps but the point is there were many people who thought this martial arts story was worthwhile.

After I watched the anime I read the book. It's a HUMUNGOUS novel. It might even be three novels because it's about 1000 pages. But don't worry you'll be satisfied with the anime because it does have a few arcs within it and they are really good.

Getting some odd suggestions here. Might have to make myself a lot more clearer...

I think I should never have said "It doesn't have to be all about martial arts though, it could incorporate it in some way or another." When I mean incorporate in some way or another, I mean in a rather significant way. The focus can be on something different, but martial arts plays a factor more significant than just a mere side character.

Strikes through the ones I've been reading (I'm looking for those kinds of things). Been thinking about checking out Shamo for a while, but haven't actually got to it just yet. Everything else, I'm putting on my plan to watch/read.

Kurogane (manga)?
It revolves around kendo

I believe there's more than one Kurogane, but this is the one I was referring to:
