Different Types Of Martial Arts   by Jeff Hudson

Aikido:
Aikido is a Japanese style developed by Morihei Ueshiba as a synthesis of his martial art studies, philosophy, and spiritual beliefs. Aikido is a martial art that seeks to resolve conflict through peaceful means. Aikido can be named under the category of grappling arts. Aikido focuses not on punching or kicking opponents, but rather on using their own energy to gain control of them or to throw them away from you.

Arnis/Escrima/Kali:
The Filipino Martial Arts emphasize learning weapons first (sticks, blades and improvised weapons), then empty-hand skills, trapping and limb destruction as these are also core parts of these arts as the weapon is considered merely an extension of the body.

Bando:
Bando is a Burmese martial art that includes striking, kicking, and grappling, with an emphasis on mimicking animal fighting methods.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu:
Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a grappling martial art that emphasizes chokes and limb locks and especially ground fighting..The art was derived from the Japanese Kodokan judo in the early 20th century.

Capoeira:
Brought to Brazil by African slaves, capoeira is a deceptive martial art disguised as dancing. It is known by quick and complex moves, using power kicks and quick leg sweeps, with some ground and aerial acrobatics, knee strikes, take-downs, elbow strikes, punches and headbutts.

Cuong Nhu:
The Vietnamese art of Cuong Nhu integrates techniques from karate, vovinam, boxing, wing Chun, judo, aikido, and tai chi. It was developed by Dr. Ngo Dong (O’Sensei) in 1965 in Hue, Vietnam.

Gatka:
Gatka is the martial art of the Sikh warrior and is a weapon-based performance art created by the Sikhs of the Punjab during the British Empire, and also is famous for its efficiency with the shaster (sword) and lathi (staff).

Hapkido:
Hapkido is a dynamic and eclectic Korean martial art it include’s aikido’s throws and locks with tae kwon do’s kicks.
The art evolved from Dait?-ry? Aiki-j?jutsu or a closely related jujutsu system taught by Choi Yong-Sool.

Iaido:
Iaido is the art of drawing the Japanese sword, delivering a decisive cut, removing blood from the blade, and then replacing the sword in the scabbard. Iaid? forms (kata) are performed solitarily against one or more imaginary opponents.

Jeet Kune Do (JKD):
Jeet Kune Do is a mixed martial arts system and life philosophy founded by martial arts legend Bruce Lee. JKD is one of the best known hybrid martial arts, incorporating techniques from all martial arts. It was named for the concept of interception, or attacking your opponent while he is about to attack.

Ju Jitsu:
The “gentle” art of arm locks and chokes once used to defeat armor-wearing samurai. Jujutsu evolved among the samurai of feudal Japan as a method for defeating an armed and armored opponent in which one uses no weapon, or only a short weapon. These techniques were developed around the principle of using an attacker’s energy against him, rather than directly opposing it.

Judo:
Judo involves throwing your opponent to the mat, pinning your opponent with a hold-down technique, or causing your opponent to submit with an armbar or a choke. It was created as a combat sport in Japan in 1882 by Kano Jigoro. The worldwide spread of judo has led to the development of a number of offshoots such as Sambo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Kajukenbo:
Kajukenbo originated in post WWII Honolulu, combining techniques from Korean karate (Ka), Jujitsu (ju), Kenpo (ken), and Chinese boxing (bo)–kung fu.

Karate:
Karate is a martial art developed in the Ryukyu Islands in what is now called Okinawa, Japan. The “art of the empty-hand”, karate involves kicking and punching, the use of weapons and open-handed techniques such as knife-hands. Grappling, locks, restraints, throws, and vital point strikes are taught in some styles.

Kendo:
Kendo is the art of Japanese swordsmanship developed from the legendary sword fighting schools
of the samurai. It’s name translates “Way Of The Sword”.

Kenpo:
Kenpo took a circuitous route from the Shaolin Temple of China to the modern-day United States, picking up refinements and enhancements along the way. The generic nature of the term combined with its widespread, cross-cultural adoption in the martial arts community has led to many divergent definitions

Krav Maga:
Krav Maga is the martial art of the Israeli military. Krav Maga is known for a few main principles in its teaching. 1) Do as much damage in as little time as possible 2) Transition from defending to attacking in as little time as possible (including simultaneously) 3) Use items around you as weapons 4) Be aware of everything.

SAMBO/SOMBO:
SAMBO, a.k.a. SOMBO, is a Russian style of wrestling popular in international competitions, as well as a combat art taught to the Soviet military. Sambo is relatively modern since its development began in the early 1920s by the Soviet Red Army to improve their hand to hand combat abilities.

San Shou:
San shou incorporates wushu, grappling, and kickboxing to make a combat-oriented martial art. This curriculum was developed with the Chinese military experiences in close range and hand to hand combat with reference to traditional Chinese Martial Arts.

Shorinji Kempo:
Shorinji kempo extends Chinese boxing with Zen philosophy; at higher ranks, the uniform is the robe of a Buddhist priest. It was established by Doshin So as a system for self-improvement and training.

Silat:
Silat is considered one of the most effective combat arts. Originally developed in what are now Indonesia, Malaysia, southern Thailand and Singapore, it was also traditionally practiced in Brunei, the Philippines, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Vietnam. There are hundreds of different styles but they tend to focus either on strikes, joint manipulation, throws, bladed weaponry, or some combination thereof.

Sumo:
One of the forerunners to the modern grappling arts of jiu-jitsu and judo, sumo is exciting and action-packed while retaining its traditional splendor and ceremony.
