Korean Martial Arts Types
Korean Martial Arts were used previously by Korean soldiers. The practice of martial arts among Korean soldiers made them among the best militaty in the world. Considering this, Korean martial arts have an attacking focus as opposed to the defensive focus of Japanese martial arts.
Japanese Martial Arts Types
The focus for most Japanese style martial arts is on self defense. They also promote spiritual harmony within the body. Throwing and twisting techniques are very common. The weight and strength of the opponent is harnessed. This means it doesn’t matter how strong or heavy you are to be successful in a fight. Japanese style martial arts are therefore one of the most gentle forms of martial art. While some concentrate on applying pressure to vital nerves, this is never done in an attack, but rather to debilitate the opponent in a humane way.
Filipino Martial Arts Types
Often, the focus of Filipino martial arts is on the use of weapons, usually short sticks and knives. While there is a sports and self defense element to Filipino martial arts, they are not as popular as other martial arts types.
Chinese Martial Arts Types
The Chinese Martial Arts style most commonly practised is probably Tai Chi. It is practised slowly for both exercise and self defense. It is supposed to promote a sense of peace, calm and equilibrium. Some forms of Tai Chi are practised with weapons and some not. Both forms provide benefits and it is a personal choice as to which form you would like.
In general, the different styles have a big impact on martial arts types and how they are practised. Ultimately, personal preference will determine which martial arts type is right for you. Each style has its own benefits. Have fun discovering the best martial arts type for you.
