It is said during the reing of Hung Ti, organised combat in the form of "Horn" locking was practiced. This is the forebearer of Chinese Wrestling or Shui Chaio.
That all being said, Shui Chiao is arguably the OLDEST martial art in existence, short of maybe Greaco Roman wrestling.
As far as the caveman thing earlier is this post, I wouldn't qualify that as martial arts. As far as SC being the oldest, there is plenty of evidence of ma in africa well before 27 BC
