Whats the difference between Karate, Judo, Kung-Fu, Taekwondo and Jujitsu?

Whats the difference between Karate, Judo, Kung-Fu, Taekwondo and Jujitsu?





explain what each one of them is and what they consist of please.|||karate= empty handed way this style is often associated with strength it is a strikin oriented art so an equal amount of kicking and punching more punchin by a little a good starting are had a few throws most that dont work some that do but is good for hittng and more important ly the situps and pushups provide not only phisical fitness but also the strength to get hit its major weakness is that u cant just keep getting hit when your oponent is hitting u in the face another weakness is that most karate schools dont harden the bones that much and more btu they have good takedown defence and even a little ground game so yeah....








judo= a modified version of jujitsu for sport it is a japanese art made by jigaro kano a doctor and jujitsu master guy.it uses many throws and presently the judokas are also trained in submission fighting and takedowns.this is all almost a wrestling type throwing thing its weakness being that it is the most popular martial art in the world and second most popular sport so a beginer might be out matched by many ppl and another weakness is that most judokas arent strong enough to do this they may not train ur strength much but it is part of the style and u need to do it on ur own time





taekwondo = most popular style in the usa and well liked by non military people in korea it is a kicking art punches are used to make distance or distract the opponent and kicks and used to fight many good dojos in the world many qualified instructor a good syestem for sport or combat weakness beibng that no takedown or takedown defence training so a practitioner will be taken down by a good wrestler or any other type of grappler who is better and the kicks to the head dont work as well in this time period and is an unnatrual thing to always go for all in all not a bad art





kung fu maening skill gained through hard work is considered the father of martial arts most of these styles are derived of of the original shao lin kung fu which was a combination of indian martial arts chinese fighting methods and other random bits of information either found througth odd events or made up on the spot these existed to ensure monks had the strength to meditate for hours and practice yoga without passing out








some major branches





wing chun gong fu= a art created by a woman for self defence for the weaker person it uses a lot of speed this wasone of the main arts bruce lee studied and when he made jan fan gong fu it took up about 60 percent of the art and if u do jeet kune do it is like 45 percent modified wing chun





praying mantis gong fu= based on the movements of the praying mantis it was one of the arts that was taught at the shaolin temple they build up chi first and then learn to fight for the most part so it takes a while











most kung fiu is not for this time period besides maybe jun fan gong fu and jeet kune do








jujitsu= originaly form japan most of the time ppl say this word now is when they are talking about brizilian ju jitsu[bjj]





it was trhe art of the samuraui and even ninjas studied it it is like wrestling but the original classical styles focus on pining or submitting the opponent it had a major flaw however well actualy two when real combat became less comon they had to practice the moves without a resisting opponenet and also it was soon illeagal because of its awesome deadlyness so that is why judo is good designed like a sport it is okay to practice on a friend and the bjj comes off judo and adds the submission and pining teqniques again but the pinfalls are now replaced with more submissions in this most complete grappling style use d by mma fighters the art of bjj








aikido is the way of harmony ai meaning love or peacfull ki meaning energy or spirit or universal spirit as well as other things do maening path or way . in aikido u deafeat the oppeonent without hurting him and if u must hurt him u never use your own force so that u do not sway form the way of the universe it should never be used in sport shotrt of a complete combat thing it compliments judo but ruins ur bjj skill if u have any.in aikido u try to defear the enemy using ony his force if u meditate then u can do proper aikido and the founder of this style has been nown to use his ki to pucsh ppl without touchthe flaw here is i t takes too long to learn how to peacefully defeat an enemy and that most aikido students dont meditate long enough technique is good but meditation is where the universe give s u its strength








hapkido is like tae kwon do more for the modern world it is still to this day a great police officer fighting syestem and uses tae kwon do with joint minipulation take down s and even submissions a most complete style not enought takedown defence however








Kyuki-Do is a more modern mixed martial arts type style and uses judo throws jujitsu submissions and wrestling skills hapkido joint locks tae kwon do kicks and some punches and to topnit all off kobudo weaponary styles which is not like modern firearms but more to get in touch with the old essence of martial arts old philosophies old theories modern methods i belive they do more grappling that striking which is smart bacause tae kwon do has some odd kicks for a normal fight this day and age their weakness is that they do not have the leathal fight enders lifeenders from jujitsu contray to what the might want to say|||The Double Jeopardy round.





Okay:





Karate- punches, blocks, kicks. A Japanese Art formulated in Okinawa, and once called %26quot;Te%26quot;.





Judo- formulated by Jigoro Kano; a throwing and choke holds art.





Kung-Fu - The Chinese art of fighting, from which Karate is descended.





Tae Kwon Do - oftentimes called %26quot;Korean Karate%26quot;.





Ju jitsu - Japanese art of grappling, arm locks, throws; ground-work and with very very few punches, kicks etc.





Kyuki-Do- the Art of Kyuki- please see Google for that one.





Aikido - the art of using an opponent%26#039;s force against them. Throws, arm locks, escapes from grabs, etc.





Hapkido - something else entirely, please see Google.|||karate= blend of chinese chuan fa (kempo) and an okinawan art called %26quot;te%26quot; or hand. pronounced %26#039;ti (tee) %26quot; in the old okinawan dialect. kara (empty) te (hand) ..it originally went like this...te, tote (blend of chinese chuan fa and te, tote means china hand) then karate (still meaning china hand, only pronounced differently) and finally karate meaning %26quot;empty hand%26quot; which is still the norm today





okinawan karate is just as katana described. a very well rounded art with a do whatever it takes attitude. it contains all manner of techniques. and some styles such as goju ryu do and always have contained groundfighting. not as extensive as bjj but...you dont want to be rolling around on the ground in a streetfight anyway. the goal is to get back up if you can%26#039;t submit (break) the guy right away. the art is kata (form) based. the main styles of okinawan karate are isshin-ryu, goju-ryu, shorin-ryu, and uechi-ryu. but there are others.





japanese mainland karate tends to be more %26quot;impact%26quot; oriented. the stereotypical punch, block, kick art everyone hears about. but it%26#039;s really alot more than that too. they are fantastic at leg sweeps and offbalancing for example. it too, is kata based. main stles included kyokushin karate, shotokan, wado ryu, shito ryu, and japanese goju ryu. (they often use %26quot;kai%26quot; to replace ryu..gojukai, shitokai, shotokai for example)





judo means (gentle way, soft way, yeilding way) ...it is best to avoid force and redirect it than to fight it directly, in which case the stronger force will always win. judo is a %26quot;sporting%26quot; version of jujutsu, its ancestor. but dont let that fool you...judo guys are TOUGH!!


judo focuses mainly on throwing. though it also has many chokes, arm locks, and pins. ultimately a full throw is the primary goal.





jujutsu is basically a general term for %26quot;old school japanese unarmed martial arts%26quot; ...it was separated by what we call %26quot;styles%26quot; by different clans in feudal japan. but they are all basically the same thing..just different interpretations of the same theme. the word means (gentle art, yeilding art, science of softness) ..but again, don%26#039;t let that fool you, it is a torturing art and it really hurts alot! ....it is similar to judo of course, but with alot more dangerous techniques. strikes, strangles, kicks, soft blocks, standing joint locks, finger, wrist for example. throws, sweeps, takedowns, etc...it is considered a grappling art because that is its main emphasis...it uses strikes, but it uses them not so much to damage the oppoenet (would you punch an armored samurai in the face?) ...but as distractions or unbalancing techniques to setup throws or joint locks. or takedowns,..which would then lead to a stabbing!





kung fu is a general (and rather incorrect) term used to denote the VAST ARRAY of chinese martial arts. there are tons of different styles. they are generally broken up in two ways. northern/southern. and internatl/external. each different but similar, having its own flare if you will. china is the mother of most modern arts. that doesnt mean they are better. there are 4 main aspects to just about all chinese styles. striking, kicking, throwing, and joint locks. they tend to be more circular than japanese karate.





taekwondo is literally korean karate. the word means losely (way of the hand and foot) ...originally it was based on japanese karate. but they changed the forms (kata) and added their signature hit, spinning, and flying kicks from an old korean art called taekyon. the art technically has more hand techniques in the syllabus. but they emphasize many kicking techniques.





i%26#039;ve never heard of kyuki-do. sound almost like the japanese art called kyudo. which is archery as done by the samurai warriors.





aikido is another derrivative of jujutsu (aiki-jujutsu to be more accurate...daito ryu to be exact). it is very flowing and very circular. the word means (ai..to harmonize. ki energy..do way) so its %26#039;the way of harmonizing energy%26quot; ...it has no striking techniques on the defensive side. a few on the offensive side. many people say it has none at all but...you%26#039;re defending against them yes? then they are there in the syllabus. generally speaking it is akin to judo/jujutsu but...also quite different. rather than the %26quot;push/pull%26quot; thing in judo and jujutsu...the aikido-ka wants to blend with his opponents energy ...aiki.





hapkido is the korean pronunciation of aikido. BUT that isnt where they got the name. and hapkido is NOT korean aikido. but alot more. the founder Yong Shul Choi was a student of daito ryu aikijujutsu. and when he went back to korea this is what he taught...he called it various names. one of his top students Ji Han Jae suggested the name %26quot;hapkido%26quot; ...now there are 2 main branches of hapkido. those who stem from the founder Yong Shul Choi and basically practice aiki jujutsu. and those who follow the teachings of Ji Han Jae...who teaches differently..he teaches many of the aiki techniques, but also many old school taekyon kicking techniques as well. it is very coherant and very complete. it contains strikes, kicks, knees, elbows, chokes, throws, pressure points...you name it.|||karate is stand up fighting some schools do have some ground game but not many taek wond do is hi kick speed over power but kinda like karate a little more fancy in moves judo has few kicks and many throw it came from jujitsu because there was a need for a less aggressive art





Ok this is the best Hap Ki Do my art it takes the best of all, it has take won, jujitsu like move and aikido type throw|||well juistu has leg locks and heel hooks and a few diffrnet chokes that it. akido is a way of useing your oppents attck agianst them. have u seen any steven seagel movies he does aikido in them. where hapkido is very simler aikido is escape hapkido is tremate and brake every bone in your attckers body and covers ground work of jujistu and judo mixed in it.

I would only say that Okinawin karate does not only contain blocks kicks and punches. it has Joint locks, chokes, throws, take downs, and sweeps. people who don%26#039;t answer this just don%26#039;t know because they either train in McDojo%26#039;s or have gotten bad info off the net.|||watch this video and you%26#039;ll see how BRAZILIAN jujitsu rains over hapkido
