Martial Arts Weekend is an album by indie-rock band The Extra Glenns, a band made up of John Darnielle and Franklin Bruno. The album was released in 2002.

Critical reception

Pitchfork wrote that "after the initial novelty of hearing more than your average instrumentation beneath Darnielle's literate whine, Martial Arts Weekend comes off as a semi-pleasing but second-tier Mountain Goats effort."
