Martial Arts Training
Martial arts refer to various types of self defense that rely
on the use of the body over use of weapons based on skills
originating in Japan, China and Korea. Some of the more popular
martial arts forms are Tae Kwon Do, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Karate,
Judo and XMA.
Martial arts are often characterized by their general
fighting styles (kicking, striking, grappling and throwing) and
their use of weapons. Karate for instance employs numerous
striking techniques that include kicks, throws, dodges and
holds. Tae Kwon Do on the other hand uses kicking, punching and
assorted evasive techniques.
While the martial arts were originally used as a form of
self-defense, nowadays many of the various martial arts forms
have also been modified into various sports forms that can
commonly be seen at competitions and exhibitions.
Tae Kwon Do Martial Arts Training
Tae Kwon Do is a very popular form of martial arts. It is
well known for its use of kicking techniques, which distinguish
it from many other forms of martial arts such as Karate and
Judo.
Tae Kwon Do was originally developed in Korea almost 2,000
years ago and was strongly influenced by Japanese Karate during
the occupation of Korea by Japan. In some circles Tae Kwon Do is
actually known as Korean Karate.
Tae Kwon Do as a form of self defense relies more on stopping
attacks and less on starting them as compared to other forms of
martial arts. As a technique Tae Kwon Do teaches a person how to
use their own body in ways that prevent an outsider from harming
them.
Karate
Karate is a form of martial arts that consists of self
defense practices coupled with a unique philosophy of life that
encourages continual self improvement. While Karate
enrourages fighting without the use of weapons, it also
advocates a peaceful existence.
Traditional Karate was originally developed in the islands of
Okinawa. When Okinawa was invaded by the samurai clans of
Japan's larger islands, islanders developed Karate as a means
for defending themselves.
A number of Karate styles exist these days; however, all are
derived in one way or another from their origins in Okinawa.
They are collectively thought of as Japanese martial arts.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a form of Japanese martial art that
employs a system of martial arts moves to overcome an attacker.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu allows a defender to use an attacker's
strength, size and momentum to their advantage.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu focuses upon close fighting, and its
primary application as a martial art is when someone is attacked
on the street. It relies strongly on choke holds and submissive
holds that enable a person not only to defend themselves but
also others who may be under attack.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is very popular with military and law
enforcement, and many countries throughout the world use it as
an unarmed combat technique. Part of its popularity draws from
the fact that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu teaches a person the most
important and effective ways of defending themselves.
Judo
Judo is a very popular martial arts form and is based on the
movements of Ju Jitsu. Judo is also recognized as an Olympic
sport.
Judo consists primarily of throws and grappling, which in
turn includes joint locks and chokes. Judo is often compared to
wrestling, but it also has its own unique combat forms. Judo as
a martial arts form also emphasizes mental, moral and character
development as much as it does physical training.
Various forms of Judo cater to different interests. Some
people train for competition by sparring in order to enter the
many tournaments available while others train strictly for self
defense.
XMA (Extreme Martial Arts)
XMA (Extreme Martial Arts) is a martial arts type that
is actually a combination of all martial art forms blended
together with high-flying acrobatics and gymnastics.
