- In under 15 minutes, I break down the basic history of the Karate family tree. What’s the difference between Karate, Kung fu, and Taekwondo? How are they all connected? I make a long story shorter, and give you just the highlights.

Bodhidharmar is a prince from 7th century from southern India called kaanchipuram, Tamilnadu (state) , where I come from. He spoke the oldest language in the world tamil and practiced kalaripayattu which is considered the mother of all martial arts. Monks from shaolin come to Tamilnadu on a regular basis to read the palm leaf inscriptions made by him in the search for additional information since he only taught a portion of kalaripayattu to the then Chinese. For additional information I would really suggest you watch videos on kalaripayattu.
The ''tahtib'' is an ancient Egyptian martial art dating back 5,000 years ago. Was likely already practiced before the creation of the pyramids at least 4500 years ago.
The actual oldest martial arts, boxing and wrestling go back way before any other martial art.
Moreover, Sanskrit is likely the oldest and still spoken and written language in the world.
@@deductivevariance3497 lol 👍🏻 ok good luck with that
Except he didn't exist. May as well say Mars, God of war invented marital arts.
@@Colby_0-3_IRL_and_title_fights maybe you should do your research on the founder of the shaolin and the damo golden statue raised in respect for him or speak to the 20 shaolin monks who come to my birth place to research about his writings and transcripts as he only taught one aspect of the kalaripayattu to the then shaolin monks. Or pretty much ask any legit shaolin monk.
@@deductivevariance3497 true Kalari might not be the oldest martial art we know of but it's the oldest SURVIVING martial art ... although even that is not definitive since we don't know much about the origin of martial arts practiced by aboriginal australians for example
*Kalaripayattu is an ancient martial art indigenous to Kerala, a small state in the southern tip of India, but is known and practised throughout the globe today.*
Even while I had the general picture outlined in my head, the way you pointed out some of the connections, especially with the Korean part, was interesting and educational. Good job👊
Thanks for the informative and fun video.
this helped me so much in my school project on martial arts
Thanks for taking the time to share this :)
Pankration was being practiced prior to its inclusion in the ancient Olympics in 648 b.c. It was spread all over Europe and Asia by the Greeks and Alexander the Great centuries before the Shaolin Temple.

African Martial arts science is the oldest in the world.
I’m not an expert on this topic (I would be generous to say a novice), but even I know that to talk about martial arts, you have to start with Africa.
Very nice! Great summary! Thank you for this!
Bodhidharma was a semi-legendary Buddhist monk who lived during the 5th or 6th century. He is traditionally credited as the transmitter of Buddhism to China, and regarded as its first Chinese patriarch. According to Chinese legend, he also began the physical training of the monks of Shaolin Monastery that led to the creation of Shaolin kungfu. He is known as Dámó in China and as Daruma in Japan. His name means "dharma of awakening (bodhi)" in Sanskrit.[1]
Thank you very much. That was an exquisit explanation.
Oh man! Just reached the Tae Kwon Do part!!! This is awesome!!!!
7:05 they should have renamed it "Freedom Hand"
Ms. Holmes, your teaching is so funny, esp the japan and okinawa part. I'm from Eest, your introdution kind of freak me out that I didn't expect y'all western people know so many details of our culture... Bodhidharmar is one of our greatest prophet in our religion, which took a really big part in so-call "Zen", which is one of the branch of Mahāyāna Buddhism. This kind of pratice is not only useful for fighting but also good for health...and yes, prevending monks fall asleep while praticing meditation.
Lol! Thank you! I have studied martial arts as well as eastern religions for many years. When I made this video, I was speaking mostly from memory, and I was trying to explain it in a way my students could relate to.
@@JuliannaHolmes Well you did a great job,maam. So happy to know you like eastern religions wich also inspire me a lot. Wish you Happy and Healthy in following year! (And all your students and their family as well!
awesome!
Great summary
Thank you for sharing ma’am! Any recommendations on books on this same subject?
You know, I thought I replied to you months ago! If you’re still interested… “The complete guide to American Karate and Taekwondo.” By Keith Yates. Good read!!

Pls do not give half information.
great video - awesome teacher!!!!
Thank you so much for the kind words!

Tahtib (Egypt) is older, while boxing and wrestling are even older than that.
Ancient martial art of Kerala state,India.
Actually they did martial arts in kemet way before Asia did it but yes they all have different systems of martial arts.
Didn't mention Judo, Juitsu and hapkido.
Respectfully...you are mistaken in some of your facts as they pertain to Chinese Kung Fu. Although Bodhidharma (Pu-Ti -Tamo in Cantonese/Damo in Mandarin or Daruma Tashi in Japanese) was a prominent monk at the Shaolin Temple , he wasn't the first to "bring" Kung Fu to the temple, He wasn't even the first Buddhist monk there, that would be Batuo (also called Fotuo or Buddhabhadra, fl. between 464 - 495 C.E.) The Shaolin Monastery was built on the north side of Shaoshi, the central peak of Mount Song, one of the Sacred Mountains of China, by Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei dynasty in 477 C.E. to accommodate the Indian master, Batuo. Batuo's senior disciples Sengchou and Huiguang were both experts in Chinese martial arts by the time they began their studies of religion with Batuo. (which was approx. 50 years before the arrival of Bodhidharma, who arrived there in 527 C.E. . Although Bodhidharma (Tamo or Damo) is traditionally credited as the transmitter of Chan Buddhism to China, and is regarded as its first Chinese patriarch, the earliest reliable record of the legend of his bringing breathing/exercising methods to Shaolin and their eventual evolution into Chinese Kung Fu has been traced to the Ming period's Yijin Jing or "Muscle Change Classic", a text while attributed to Bodhidharma was actually written in 1624 C.E. which was written as a propaganda tool to inspire insurgency and foment rebellion against the ruling Manchu ("Great Qing") Dynasty.. The earliest references to Chinese martial arts are found in the Spring and Autumn Annals (5th century BCE), where a hand-to-hand combat theory, one that integrates notions of "hard" and "soft" techniques, is mentioned ( although there is an oral tradition of Chinese Kung Fu being at least 4000 yrs. old or approx. 2000 yrs. prior to the written accounts). Again, I mean no disrespect, I just wanted to add some "context". I humbly thank you, TheMartialScholar.
Thank you for such a well thought out comment! I learned something!
I will say, my students are mostly younger, and I was trying to present an abbreviated history in a short amount of time. But I appreciate the input!!
I thank you for your gracious reply. I truly appreciate your adding to the dissemination of martial arts knowledge. Please keep up the good work!
Actually the Shaolin temple story is based on legends created in the 19th century.
To be historically accurate, the oldest mention of monks from a temple named Shaolin date from the 8th century on a stele. Which doesn't mention if they practice any boxing skill.
Then we have to wait the 16th century ( when most Chinese martial arts truly started to be created , anything else are legends ) for a general of army named Qi Jiguang mentioning that Monks from Shaolin use a stick to fight, and he called it Shaolin quanfa. Then a few mentions about them are also found from in the 17th century. Then nothing.
Its only in the 19th century that the actual monastery was built and that the legends about Shaolin ( body dharma, india boxing, meditation, wars etc etc ) were invented.
And more recently since the 70's the monastery was reopened with fake monks who practice Chinese modern wushu...and since then pretend to be everything known about them .
Thank you so much! Yes, that’s why I referenced that legend and history get kind of conflated.
I appreciate the information!
Typical denial of Daruma's existence.
😐
@@naiyayika I’m not denying anything! It’s simply the farther back you go, the harder it is to find substantial historical documentation.
I really simply intended this video to be a brief overview for my students, who have questions about the relationships between kung fu, karate, taekwondo etc.
@@JuliannaHolmes No Ms. Holmes, you misunderstood me. I was replying to this guy, not you.
On the other hand I Loved the edit, please don't get me wrong.

@@naiyayika I see thank you!
Tae Kwon Do and Tang Soo Do are two separate Korean martial arts. Both of them come from Karate, but have their differences. Tae Kwon Do focuses more Taekyon, while Tang Soo Do focuses more on Karate.
They know; they just don't want to say it!
I feel like the term "martial arts" tends to be, in the collective public mind, associated with the historical fighting systems of the Eastern Asian cultures, and I feel like this is a mistaken way of thinking. If we break down that phrase, "martial arts", it basically means the science or study of combat. So ALL combat systems are technically martial arts, from modern MMA to the ancient eastern systems, as well as modern boxing, wrestling, modern military training and historical European combat. Yes, the vikings, the scots, the english swordsmen and Zorro are all martial arts. I'm interested in all of it, everything from the Shaolin monks to the manhattan project...
Oh I agree wholeheartedly! But for simplicity sake, I made this video more for karate students. Because that is my main area of study.
@@JuliannaHolmes I spent a fair amount of time in the dojo and in the boxing gym growing up. Haven't had it in the budget to keep up with the lessons as an adult, but I have made it a point throughout the years to keep practicing the techniques I learned in those classes. In your opinion, is there any merit to continually practicing the basic techniques at home for people who dont/cant continue taking lessons? Also, if I were to get back into lessons at some point, what would you recommend for somebody who is middle aged, out of shape, and has bad knees, bone spurs and other leg problems stemming from multiple injuries in the past? I would love to learn muay thai but I'm just extremely limited as to what I can and cannot do as far as kicks go...
@@docd-monik4380 as for the first part of your question… Absolutely yes! Training the basics, as well as general fitness can be done by yourself and will have tremendous benefits! Honestly that’s what I do a lot of the time for my own training. So much of my time is spent teaching, that I don’t spend as much time with my instructors as I would like.
Secondly, it depends on your goals and interests. If you have a particular art that you just are interested in for the sake of studying, pursue that art, but make sure you find a really quality instructor who knows how to give you modifications for any physical limitations you might have. (And roughing it out through the pain is NOT a good modification.)
Tai chi is really great for general balance, health, and proprioception.
Filipino martial arts are, in my opinion, the best for straight self-defense purposes, perhaps combined with some jujitsu. Also FMA is less taxing on the joints of the legs.
You can pursue anything you want if you are guided by a quality instructor with your specific goals and health concerns in mind!
The reason why there are so many martial arts from asia, in particularly Japan today is because in Asia there was an almost immediate transition from the middle ages to eras of peace, like the Edo period in Japan, which gave the opportunity for the martial arts to become sports. While in the rest of the world, there was still alot of turmoil, as well as the widespread use of the gun resulted in traditional martial arts in europe, and other parts of the world falling out of favor.

Didn't Martial Artsoriginatr from the Greece and Roman Empire, then imported to Asia?

is this a college course?
I wouldn’t be opposed to teaching a college course! I teach 6th through 12th grade, primarily.
@@JuliannaHolmes then see this as a coplement youre teaching and explenation skills are really good
@@yeout4386 thank you very much!
Chinese Martial Arts pre date Bodhidharma and the Shaolin Temple by at least a thousand years. Shaolin Martial Arts are documented to have come from China and not Bodhidharma. I guess that is what happens when you get your history from Kung Fu theater and legends and not the actual source documents.
martial arts started in Africa. known has ancient kemet. not China
That is really cool! Thank you for adding! Yes, for as long as there have been humans, there has been systems of fighting. Unfortunately, for the purposes of this particular video, I had to keep it confined to the direct history of karate.
But awesome note!!
You just type in Google"martial arts originated from? You will get the right answer 😎
Kalaripayattu is the mother of all martial arts kid.it started in india.only real martial people know it.kids these days dont.
Yes from Africa to Persian then from Persian to India (by Arian tribes)
@@jabychador5923 Hey, kid. The actual oldest martial arts, boxing and wrestling go back way before any other martial art.
The ''tahtib'' is an ancient Egyptian martial art dating back around 5,000 years ago. Was likely already practiced before the creation of the pyramids at least 4500 years ago, so it definitely predates kalaripayattu.
Just like Tamil is not the oldest language, it's Sanskrit.
Tamilans belive martial arts
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but it’s impossible to speak on the fighting arts and leave Africa out. You did a disservice by starting in Asia. Africa is the originator of the martial arts
The ''tahtib'' is an ancient Egyptian martial art dating back around 5,000 years ago. Was likely already practiced before the creation of the pyramids at least 4500 years ago.
Though the actual oldest martial arts, boxing and wrestling probably predates all other martial arts.
Very true; had she mentioned Africa at all I would have gone with some of her lecture. As it was it was the traditional lie of the uninformed or worse.
