  • Familiarise yourself with popular martial arts styles with this review that breaks down striking, grappling, throwing, weapons-based styles and more.
    1) Striking or Stand-Up Martial Arts Styles
    Striking or stand-up martial arts styles teach practitioners how to defend themselves while on their feet by using blocks, kicks, punches, knees, and elbows. The degree to which they teach each of these aspects depends on the specific style, sub-style or instructor. Also, many of these stand-up styles teach other components of fighting. Striking styles include:
    Boxing
    Capoeira
    Karate
    Kickboxing
    Krav Maga
    Kung Fu
    Muay Thai
    Pencak Silat
    Taekwon-Do
    Tang Soo Do
    Wing Chun
    2) Grappling or Ground-Fighting Styles
    The grappling styles in martial arts focus on teaching practitioners how to take opponents to the ground, where they either achieve a dominant position or utilize a submission hold to end the fight. Grappling styles include:
    Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
    Catch Wrestling
    Jujutsu
    Luta Livre
    Russian Sambo
    Sumo
    Wrestling
    3) Throwing or Takedown Styles
    Combat always starts from a standing position. The only sure way to get a fight to the ground is through the use of takedowns and throws, and that’s where these throwing styles come into play. Note that all of the grappling styles listed above also teach takedowns, and most of these throwing styles teach grappling. Clearly, there is a significant amount of overlap, but the primary focus with these styles is takedowns. Throwing styles include:
    Aikido
    Judo
    Hapkido
    Shuai Jiao
    Weapons-Based Styles
    Many of the aforementioned styles use weapons in their systems. For example, Goju-ryu karate practitioners are taught to use the bokken (wooden sword). But some martial arts are centered entirely around weapons.
    4) Weapons-based styles include:
    Kali
    Iaido
    Kendo
    Low-Impact or Meditative Styles
    Practitioners of low-impact styles of martial arts are mostly concerned with breathing techniques, fitness, and the spiritual side of their movements rather than combat in particular. However, all of these styles were once used for combat and still can be, as the 2013 Chinese-American film "The Man of Tai Chi" illustrates.
    5) Low-impact styles include:
    Baguazhang
    Tai Chi
    Chi Gong-based styles
    Hybrid Fighting Styles
    Most martial arts styles use techniques found in others. In recent years, many schools are simply teaching several martial arts styles together, which is known as mixed martial arts and has been popularized by contests such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The term MMA generally refers to training in a competitive style of martial arts that incorporates grappling, stand-up fighting, takedowns, throws, and submissions.
    6) Hybrid martial arts forms include the following:
    MMA
    Jeet Kune Do
    Ninjutsu
    Shootfighting

    “Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, make something which is essentially your own.” -Bruce Lee
    I myself don’t believe in style anymore because SOME people today fight for their style, they believe strongly in their own style and avoid growing by learning other styles of fighting. I’m not saying this for everyone btw! The best style is no style :)

    • @7x34hj

      You are right. I often compare martial artists of a particular style with those of strong faith in a particular religion. They defend their martial art and make all manner of excuses no matter how many time it clearly fails. We should never have to 'make' a technique work or allow a technique to work. This is why we now have MMA and the like.

    • @linkgame256
      @linkgame256 4 роки тому +18

      7x34hj Yes indeed! Well said! People say Bruce Lee is the father of Modern MMA and they are right. Bruce Lee began mixing styles very early on, because of his quarter German blood, some of the Chinese students in his Kung Fu class refused to train with him. He probably thought “Why should I not accept other styles just as you have not accepted me? Why should I limit myself to one style when they all have so much to offer.”
      These are not his actual words but it’s just what I think.

    Dont mind me, just wanted to share my story of why im here and vent lmao;
    The real reason i wanted to take up self defence lessons was because i have severe paranoia. when i was in primary through middle school, my house had been broken into several times- one of which led to the death of my dog at that time who had just given birth. I'm also, in social norms, you could say an "attractive" looking girl. growing up i've always been told that im pretty. ive had several incidents where random men in their mid ages approach me and ask me disturbing questions. my stepdad when i was in primary school also bought me very VERY short/revealing clothing.. i didnt think it was weird until i was a little older when i realised that ive luckily escaped quite a ton of situations which coudlve ended much darker. now, im 17 years old and everywhere i go i cant help but feel like im being stalked or something. I'm really scared to move on my own next year, i tend to have severe paranoia/psychosis whenever im alone at home and i hear a slight rustle. this is why im taking up some sort of self defence lesson!
    so I want to do Kung Fu, the animal aspect of kung fu is really fascinating to me. also when i was a little kid, my favorite movie was kung fu panda (tigress is really badass)! Unfortunately.. im built for boxing i guess you could say. shadow,kick boxing all suit my natural fighting style.

    • @NoraTKD
      @NoraTKD  4 роки тому +46

      Hello there! Thank you for sharing your story! I think that you are a very strong young lady and if you have an urge to do and learn martial arts then go for it! Try kung fu if that is what fascinates you. Try women's self defense classes, there you will learn that aspect and hopefully feel much better and less paranoid because you actually know how to defend yourself. If you want then try boxing or kickboxing, those are less spiritual but they will give you stamina and confidence! Just go out there and find what makes you feel good, you can do it! :)

    • @tetsuaburaya4613
      @tetsuaburaya4613 4 роки тому +40

      This is my opinion, but the best self defence to learn is Jiu Jitsu.
      Why?
      There’s a couple of reasons.
      The first is that striking especially for females who’s trying to defend against a larger opponent (men) are not that affective as biologically it’s harder to generate a strike that can hurt a guy, useless it’s in the groin.
      Another reason is that there’s a big possibility that the aggressor will try to grab a hold of you. With Jiu Jitsu this is useful as you learn many ways to get not submitted.
      And last is that most conflicts especially against untrained opponents one on one, there’s a good chance that it will end up on the ground. (e.g police arrests) Jiu Jitsu will allow both offence and defence to protect yourself on the ground.
      There’s a really good video of a Brazilian girl that was able to defend herself with Jiu Jitsu against man who had a knife.
      That’s just my thought on the best self defence martial art.

      Muay Thai is fun, to me it kinda felt like a mad dash to the goal because from my first lesson to a couple years down the line you just keep piling on and mastering techniques. I also think that it’s easy to mix in other disciplines techniques because my main combos for when I fight (competitively) mix in Takewando kicking and sometimes a more western boxing stance. Now my personal “recreational” style (like a just in case something happens style) mixes in capoeira for mobility and misdirects and Muay Thai for hard straight forward hits. I’d like to learn shaolin Kung fu to mix and match. Anyway aside from rambling I think Muay Thai is kinda like a good on it’s own canvas that gets better with each brush stroke

    @sonitourret1374 4 роки тому +23

    In the list of the weapon-based styles, I would like to add the Haidong Gumdo, which is a recent korean saber style. It is halfway between traditional martial arts and the more "sportives" ones (such as taekwondo) : there are tournaments but they never includes non-choregraphed fights, for example. It's a very dynamic and photogenic style, and particularly technically demanding; whereas the kendo or the kenjutsu is based on duels, haidong gumdo is centered on the fight on the battlefield, against many enemies. It's a very young and still maturing martial art. It is however not very well-known, and it can be difficult to find a school (for example, there are only 400 practitioners in France).
    I love this martial art because it is beautiful. It is much more dynamic than the kenjutsu. It has not the competitivity of the kendo, and offer a beautiful group synergy (because no technique is practiced alone). I think it is hard to master, and particularly in its positions, but very joyful to practice. In contrary of many of the japanese martial arts, and as a result of its specialization (fight against many enemies), it has not the philosophy of ideally defeat the opponent(s) on the first weapons pass, and leave room for observation of the opponent(s) and the environment more than speed and aggressiveness.
    Sorry for the length of this comment ^^"

    I used to practise WTF Taekwondo when I was studying abroad. I stopped because of busy college and church service schedule. Since it has become a lifestyle, I still practised at home especially the exercises although I would be inconsistent. I always avoid confrontations but I was forced to use it to defend myself. A crazed neighbor here in my country tried to attack me and I executed a well-timed yeopchagi to his abdominal area. That is a rare instance so I naturally got agitated but I managed to pull that off. I came to know later on that I broke some of his ribs and he was unconscious until the day after. I’m glad I found your channel. My interest in Taekwondo stayed the same. God bless you!

      I am glad to know that you are practicing Taekwon-do, keep up the good work! I am sure that yop chagi was indeed powerful and accurate. I am sorry that you had to use but in a dangerous situation like that it was probably the best thing to do (besides running away and calling the police). I hope that it had a good ending and no more crazy neighbor harassing you. Stay safe

    Just sharing my story:
    When I was younger (elementary school) my whole family did taekwondo, but my family moved very far away (to a completely different state) and there we no taekwondo places near us that could fit with my parents schedule, but there was a MMA dojo across the street! I started leaning Brazilian jujitsu, judo, and jukido. I was shockingly different at first but I soon fell in love with Brazilian jujitsu.

    • @NoraTKD
      @NoraTKD  4 роки тому +2

    Learning martial arts is great do whatever you like but if your trying to use a practical art and also be as competent as you can in self defense. 1. Make sure there is live sparring/pressure testing. 2. if you want to be good all around for self defense you have to cover all zones of engagement. Striking, stand up grappling, ground fighting. But the biggest thing with self defense is situational awareness.

    • @NoraTKD
      @NoraTKD  4 роки тому +2

      100% agree with you! Learning self defense is essential. I am working on some basic self defense videos at the moment to show easy to use techniques that everyone can do. Also some advanced techniques for martial artists.

      If I had to choose between the two of them, I would go for pencak silat. But that is because my current sport is more artistic and not that focused on self defence and competition. (Capoeira). A fast and more effective martial arts would be something different and fun to explore for me. I think you should think about, if you want to do something similar or more different to what you do now. (I hope that helps you somehow, sorry for any English mistakes)

I think if I could go back now, I would enjoy it more than I did then.

To keep it short started from Tang Soo Do, Kung fu like Wing Chun, Shorinji kenpo and now learning MMA Kickboxing, and Escrima, because to be more practical both self defense in the streets and continuous sparring.
    My word of advice for those are new, look for open doors near you depends if a dojo, local community centers if they are offering self defense classes, or a local park and see what system are they teaching.

    I appreciate that you mentioned Ninjutsu on your list of martial arts styles since it is rarely spoken of on youtube videos that like to discuss the variety of martial arts styles in the world. I think the reason why is because some people don't believe it is a real style of combat due to exaggerations of it from movies, television, comic books, and games.

      From a learning perspective, I would recommend not branching out until you have a good foundation in your current style or you will confuse yourself

    I am 19 and I want to join a striking oriented martial art. The most convenient location near me offers Taekwondo. Can you please go into a little bit more detail about the advantages and disadvantages of Taekwondo please.? A little advice would be appreciated.

      If you are big i suggest boxing or wrestling. If you are small i suggest karate or thai boxing. Tawekondo is amazing and if you like it go for it. Stay there for 1 or 2 months and if you enjoy it stick with it.

      You should go and try it for yourself once this whole pandemic is over, I am sure that you will like it! Check out my other Taekwon-do videos on my channel so you could get a feel for it! Stay safe and healthy!

    It’s so many martial arts techniques that was made by an individual when they came up with it on the spot in random encounter
    Since we have the power to create our own moves which is how all these techniques of martial arts came into existence
    I say As long as your reflex and speed can turn into self movement as your body can move on its own at will without gout getting beat and you tap into mastery of self movement at last resort
    That’s the best self defense anyone pushes to have so they can handle any opposition to be on offense & defense without thinking

    Hey, I was thinking about learning Kung Fu, mostly because I think the history is interesting and I’ve always wanted to do it, and I was wondering if me, a tall skinny guy would be a good fit for it

    • @NoraTKD
      @NoraTKD  4 роки тому +6

      Of course! If you have an inner feeling that you want to do Kung Fu you should definitely go for it!

      While the right answer has already been given, meaning if it is the style you are eager to practice, that is the right one, period, tall ans skinny is the archetypical build of a kung fu practicioner, so yeah, great fit :)

      if you learn shaolin, the begining is hard, trust me. Your legs hurt as hell, because you always have to stand low. but after a while your legs become steel and it makes much fun.
