Newest martial arts study today
When we say martial arts, we think of the much publicized
Chinese Kung Fu that is graceful yet powerful. Ever since Bruce
Lee hit the screen with his Kung Fu flying kicks, people of the
West has been mesmerized and in awe of the martial art method.
Jet Li popularized the martial art called Wu Shu, which is a far
more graceful, and yet lethal and quick. Jackie Chan also hit
the screen as a Kung Fu master with his own brand of comedy.
Thanks to the movies and screenwriters, many more people are
learning martial arts as a method of self-defense today. Other
types of popular martial arts include Taekwondo, Karate,
Kickboxing and Jiu-Jitsu.
For those who are keener to explore the art of 'self-defense'
instead of style, power and grace to help protect themselves
from physical attacks, try Jiu-Jitsu. The actual full-name of
the martial art is Shorinii-kan jiu-jitsu. When they say that in
martial arts, the most important thing to develop is the
strength of the body, the mindset and avoidance, they are right.
For example, if the attacker was using a knife against you,
learning Jiu-Jitsu will teach you how to use the very same knife
that the attacker is holding now against him. The art of
Jiu-Jitsu is very unique because it does not teach you how to
attack another person, but instead, it teaches you how to
redirect the force, energy and anger that the attacker is aiming
at
you...back to himself.
Jiu-Jitsu is also about escaping, restraining the attacker and
disarming and throwing them on the floor with force.
Of late, another form of martial art has caught the attention of
more people, Hapkido, a Korean form of self-defence. Hapkido is
a form of martial art that uses very natural techniques. The
people often move around in circles, like they are in a circular
shaped ring, therefore, their movements are often in a huge
circle.
The reason why Hapkido is an extremely useful martial art is
because of their jabbing movements and can-hardly-be-seen and
hard to predict jabs and kicks that leave the attacker totally
floored. Movements flow from one to another smoothly until the
'victim' returns the attacker's favor with a countermovement.
Martial art is not aggressive but instead, they are responsive
and most of the time, extremely graceful and elegant. The more
elegant ones with flowing movements are often designed to
enthrall the audience. Others aim at helping the proponent
defend themselves. Knowing a few basic martial art moves can
save your life, especially if you're of the weaker sex.
