About martial arts for fitness

I haven't found any martial arts that are not suitable for "people" so far, but I can introduce you to some of them, and you can find the ones that you are interested in learning

Major martial arts in different countries of the continent China -

Intercepting Fist Do: The martial art created by Bruce Lee was famous all over the world for its fighting philosophy of "taking the lawless as the lawful and the infinite as the finite". infinite for finite" fighting philosophy is famous all over the world.

Bruce Lee is based on his learning of Wing Chun, absorbed boxing, Western fencing, karate, taekwondo, the essence of Chinese martial arts, the creation of this unique system (there is a saying that the intercepted fist contains 26 kinds of martial arts essence), the so-called "intercepted fist" is intercepted, in the opponent can not be completed before the attack, it is rapid and direct strikes. The so-called "cut fist" is to cut off, before the opponent can complete the attack, the meaning of rapid and direct knockout opponents, which also reflects the fighting philosophy of the interception of boxing: simple and direct, always in the most streamlined way to knock out the opponent, and unconventional, absorbing any useful elements to improve themselves.

Bruce Lee was once asked what was the most representative move of Jeet Kune Do. He replied: it was the move he used to crack his opponent's counter-joints by biting his teeth in "Jingwu Men".

Thus, Jeet Kune Do can be described as the all-encompassing martial art with the sole purpose of knocking out the opponent

Japan -

Sumo: The oldest martial art in Japan.

According to ancient Japanese documents, the history of sumo can even be traced back to BC, of course, the history of any country is exaggerated, but it is certain that Japan in the seventh century AD, after the "Dahua Reform", sumo began to play, most likely from the Chinese Tang Dynasty, the court jousting, wrestling game; sumo It was an aristocratic sport that only the royal family could watch, and sumo wrestlers enjoyed a high status in society. The earliest sumo was not purely a contest of strength between two big, fat men, as it is today, but rather involved a lot of wrestling, knuckle-joints, and even kicking and punching

Kendo: A martial art based on katana fighting.

In the nineteenth century, during the Meiji Restoration, Japan *** consciously unified and standardized the martial arts towards sport, as traditional sword fighting and martial arts schools often disturbed the public peace.

The original sword fights were replaced with bamboo swords, protected by protective gear, to form modern kendo.

Judo: A martial art that emerged in the late 19th century.

The predecessor of Judo is "Jujutsu" (a martial art that was passed down in Japan during the Warring States period and has many styles, focusing on wrestling, taking, ground pressure, and striking to the vitals).

The founder of Judo, Jigoro Kano, studied many styles of Judo before founding his own "Dojo", which is a fusion of Tenjin Shinyan-ryu (based on takedowns and ground presses) and Kiaiwa-ryu (based on wrestling techniques) to become the modern form of Judo.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Japan Police Department (JPD) organized a Jiu-Jitsu tournament, and it was decided that the winning school would be selected as the standard training martial art for the Japanese police; as a result, Kanaji Goro's Judo from Judo Dojutsu won the tournament against all the other schools, and gained a great deal of notoriety, and with the selection of Judo as the standard martial art for the police, it gained a great deal of momentum, replacing Jiu-Jitsu as the standard martial art for the Japanese martial arts.

But many of the traditional styles of jujutsu still exist today

Aikido: a martial art known for its breathing power, and its use of softness to overcome hardness, also originated in jujutsu.

The founder, Morihei Ueshiba, studied a branch of Jiu-Jitsu called "Daito Ryu Aikido Jiu-Jitsu", which is different from ordinary Jiu-Jitsu and closer to Chinese internal martial arts, emphasizing the use of softness to overcome hardness, and the use of ingenuity to win.

Later, Morihei Ueshiba took Daito-ryu as the basis and absorbed the advantages of other schools to create Aiki-Jujitsu, which was later renamed Aikido

Karate: a kicking and punching-based martial art, which can be said to be an exotic martial art in Japan, and came from Okinawa (Ryukyu).

In ancient times, many people from southern China crossed the sea to the Ryukyus, and passed some of the Chinese martial arts to the locals, and because the Ryukyu dynasty had a long period of time to regulate the use of weapons, so the empty-handed fighting techniques have been greatly developed, and appeared in the "Nabatsu" and "Shuriken" and other sects. There were schools such as "Naha Hands" and "Shuriken Hands".

But it was not until the nineteenth century that Ryukyu martial arts reached Japan; in the early twentieth century, Funakoshi Yoshizane, who is known as the father of karate, performed karate techniques in Tokyo, and this martial art has been popular in Japan ever since, and it was called "TANG HAND", which is the martial art from China; after the First World War, the Japanese took the pronunciation and renamed it "Karate".

Korea -

Taekwondo: The national sport of Korea.

The Koreans claim that Taekwondo is derived from the ancient Goryeo period "taekwong", but in fact Taekwondo can be said to have originated from karate.

During the period when Korea was under Japanese rule, many Koreans traveled to Japan to learn the art, and one of them, General Choi Hong-hee, once studied Songtao-ryu karate in Japan and earned a second-degree black belt; he came back to Korea after the Second World War, and created Taekwondo, based on karate, combining ancient Korean martial arts and some of the techniques of Chinese martial arts.

Taekwondo is known for its magnificent continuous kicks and flexible footwork, and is the second oriental martial art to enter the Olympics (the first being judo)

Korean Hapkido: a martial art founded by Korean Choi Yong-Su, the exact origin is unknown, and should be related to Japanese Hapkido.

The techniques of Korean Aikido are more comprehensive than those of Japanese Aikido, with kicking, punching and other techniques, as well as specialized breathing exercises (qigong).

Choi Yong-Su introduced this type of Aikido to the United States in the 1950s, and it became the fighting art practiced by the elite Green Berets in the United States for a time

Thailand -

Muay Thai: The ancient art of fighting in Thailand.

It probably originated as a fighting art in China during the Tang Dynasty and spread to the Central and Southern Peninsula, where it developed over time into a ring fighting art known for its ferocity and violence.

Thailand is located in the Central and Southern Peninsula, where there are many ethnic groups and transportation is convenient, and there are frequent exchanges with other ethnic groups in terms of martial arts, so Muay Thai has also absorbed the characteristics of other countries' martial arts, and it is said that the French kicking art "Savate" is originated from Muay Thai.

Muay Thai ring through three stages: unarmed, wrapped hemp, gloves stage, in the 20th century, after the introduction of Western boxing, Muay Thai also used gloves, but Muay Thai "fist, foot, elbow, knee" and is still unique rules of the game, which makes Muay Thai pugilistic and ferocious one of the world's leading, especially elbow and knee use, is Muay Thai, and the use of the elbow and the knee, is a very important part of the game. The use of elbows and knees, is the characteristics of Muay Thai

Myanmar --

Myanmar Boxing: also known as "Bintao", due to the border between Myanmar and Thailand, Myanmar boxers and Thai boxers often exchanges, so the techniques and Muay Thai are very similar.

It's just that the degree of ringization of Burmese boxing is not as good as Muay Thai, and it still retains many of the traditional flashy moves

Philippines--

Philippine Kali: There are many schools of martial arts in the Philippines, featuring very little pure unarmed fighting, most of which are combined with equipment such as a short stick or a short knife, and very little hard contact in terms of skills, using the real to hit the virtual, to the dexterity of bizarre movements to dodge the opponent and then counterattack (Philippines). The technique is seldom hard-hitting, and uses dexterity and strange movements to dodge the opponent and then counterattack (known as "flowing power" in the Filipino martial arts).

Bruce Lee's great disciple, Ilu Santo, was a Filipino martial artist. Santo was a master of Filipino martial arts, and he was the one with the two short sticks (Filipino wands) in The Game of Death, and Bruce Lee absorbed the short-stick techniques of Filipino martial arts.

Since short swords and short sticks happen to be the most common weapons used by the military and police, Filipino martial arts are also widely studied by the military and police

Indonesia -

Silat: The traditional martial art of Indonesia.

I don't know much about the details, but it is said that it is similar to Chinese Nanquan; due to the narrowness of the terrain in Indonesia, it is not suitable for big open and close fights, so the Indonesian martial arts are based on short bridges and narrow horses, small and small, and the way of force is somewhat close to Nanquan's inch

India--

Kala Ripa Yadu: An ancient martial art in India, the meaning of Kala Ripa Yadu is "combat arts training".

India is one of the four ancient civilizations, as early as B.C., the ancient art of combat existed, and the current Kararipayadu was formed in the 10th century or so, and was vigorously suppressed during the colonial rule, and was once on the verge of extinction, only to be revived again at the end of the 19th century.

Kalaripayado is a comprehensive training system that includes physical exercise, breathing techniques (related to yoga), hand-to-hand combat and weaponry (clubs, long knives, axes, spears, etc.), and in fact is related to religion as well as to traditional medicine, with each Kalaripayado master also being an excellent traditional healer.

Jackie Chan fought a prince from India in the Myth movie, and the prince used Kalaripayadu

Yoga: Yoga is not really a martial art, but an ancient Indian way of health care and cultivation, and "yoga" means "unity" or "harmony". Yoga" means "unity" or "harmony".

Yoga is probably more than three thousand years old, and has been documented in the ancient Indian medical book, the Ayurveda.

Many people think of yoga as some difficult movements or super flexibility, but in fact, physical exercise is only a very small part of yoga; yoga is based on the "three chakras and seven wheels" of traditional Indian medicine (similar to the Chinese meridian points), through physical postures, movements, breathing, meditation, and even some handprints and mantra-like pronunciation. Through body posture, movement, breathing, meditation, and even some hand seals and mantra-like pronunciation, etc., to seek the body, mind, and spirit of complete coordination and peace.

Yoga is actually very similar to Chinese internal martial arts, qigong, and the pursuit of unity and calm in the body, breath, and mind, just a different approach

Perhaps a rare martial art less people teach, but generally can be found on the Internet to learn the instructional film
