Since many of you pointed out that a few popular styles were left out in this video, I went ahead and made Part 2. Check it out 👉 ruclips.net/video/cGPW6jijSnY/видео.html
Hey, nice video, man, but just a quick advice on writing (not really a writer, but I just want to point this out): When you describe something make sure not to repeat the same adjectives and phrases, especially when you're doing a long list. Tai Chi: "[It's not just for show], Tai Chi packs a punch in promoting balance..." Kickboxing: "[It's not just about being able to throw a punch or a kick], it's about the whole package..." Aikido: "[Aikido isn't just physical], it's a journey inward..." Notice all of the phrases I put in brackets, if you remove them and replace them with a different transition, it woul make the message clearer and more efficient. You are using the same "not only, but" clause for every martial art, which is a bit distracting and gives off the vibe that they are all the same because of how you overuse that transition. A suggestion that I'd make is to make the structure a bit different (if you'd want to make another video of this type) It would go something like this: Seperate the martial arts into practical and spiritual segments Practical: What you learn to do in the martial art; Muay Thai uses all 8 body parts (shins, leg, elbow, palm), boxing focuses on the arm. Spiritual: What each martial art REPRESENT. Their philosophies, origins, disciplines and principles they implement into their martial art. Other than that though, your voiceover on the video is actually very well done. It feels like I'm listening to a high-budget company infomercial. Not a lot of people has that going for them, it's usually cut and dry voices like they're reading a script.
martial arts = garbage for the Mind (Body) & Soul; black magic (no joke) Make the World Box to save it! Shadow boxing alone can get you far! ruclips.net/user/shortsulAo37-PTj4
Good to hear it. I enjoyed this, but I can think of at least 6 that you didn't mention... and honestly, you mentioned boxing, but only part of kickboxing, so maybe that should be 7.
Being honest about how ineffective a fighting style is doesn't mean your bashing it. You can never compare A-fighting styles like Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Boxing, to some extent Karate with B-styles like Tai Chi, Kung-fu, Wing Chun. In a real world application with the B style you can get lucky once in a while but if you continue to delude yourself, you wil expire. Tae kwon do I'm in the middle. Love the beautiful kicks but the chances of knockout is low and the risk of a miss is too great but can be useful.
I think most people would consider wrestling a major martial art since a whole ton of schools in the United States have either a club or sports team for it
@@ryan_Almeida21 It’s one of the most popular martial arts in the world and has been for thousands of years. Nice try, but I’m pretty sure it’s more MAJOR than Jeet pune do, tai chi and bulshido mashed into one.
Hey, thanks for catching that! I didn't include wrestling at first because in my research I learned that it promoted as more of a sport and not so much a martial art. But after you pointed it out and I looked into it more, I totally see how wrestling is definitely a martial art and should've been on the list. My bad for missing it, and thanks a bunch for the heads-up. Really appreciate it!
I will say try one that is effective that will work in real world situations because i don’t think spiritual martial arts is going to defeat a crack head trying to rob you
"Jiu Jitsu" is the Portuguese version of the Japanese word "jūjutsu". Therefore, Jiu jitsu and BJJ mean the same thing. In Brazil and even in most martial arts gyms many times people just call this sport jiu jitsu and not bjj because jiu jitsu itself means bjj. Long story short, if you want to talk about Japanese Jujutsu you should use the word "Jujutsu" and not "Jiu jitsu".
No. It's because there's no BJJ(Brazilian Jujutsu). There's only Jujutsu. What has been branded as BJJ is just Newaza. Newaza is Judo. Judo is Jujutsu. There's nothing Brazilian about BJJ. The gi(uniform), language,... is all Japanese. So instead of BJJ, many schools, gyms,... call it Jiu-jitsu which has nothing to do with the Portuguese language. Actually that term was used by Judokas back then before Kano Jiu-jitsu became Judo.
I like to think Mauy Thai is an extreme version of Kickboxing. Because I’ve noticed there are more ways to strike your opponent in mauy thai than kickboxing. Mauy Thai and kickboxing teaches how to strike. For ground fighting Sambo is and extreme version of Wrestling. So sambo and wrestling teaches how to grapple Taekwondo teaches how to use more kicks BJJ teaches how to finish fights on the ground Judo & Wrestling focuses on Takedowns Capoeira teaches how to have good movement (I love my half moon kicks) Krav Maga and tang su do teaches self defense tactics Tai chi and Kong fu teaches mobility Every martial art has a purpose and has something to learn from. Which is why it’s an Art because of it’s practice
AND THIS IS THE REASON AIKIDO WORKS. you literally just explained it. "teaches unique strikes" hip, fore arm, head, even elbows slaps and you know, punches "teaches how to finish on the ground "well, aikdo is just HOW to learn different types of jitsu, its ground game is just jitsu. "teaches grappling" yes, aikido teaches that "teaches you take downs" literally the same take downs as judo, and more "teaches you movement" yes, aikido is almost all about foot work and foot placement and manuverabiilty "teaches you self defese" literally has chapters on how to survive getting jump scared in a dark alley, "trains your mental state" what taichi and kungfu actually do. and, everything mentioned here, is exactly why aikido works, IT TEACHES ALLLLLL OF THIS accept kicks, even though in weapons teachings there is A LOT of kicks. oh, it also teaches you how to weild every sort of weapon. one martial art, teaches EVERYTHING you mentioned.
As a Traditional Kung Fu student, I can totally agree that it would take me more than a lifetime to learn every single thing of it. That's awesome because that means I can never reach perfection, I will forever be in constant evolution, and I can always learn something new from other martial artists, whichever their style might be
@@poetic_pugilist A martial art is an organized system of combat. Wrestling has been used in combat for centuries. Boxing has been implemented in combat as well. I get what you're saying, but things like kampfringen were essential fighting arts and standard parts of the training of medieval knights. And both wrestling and boxing are regularly used in fights today.
@@danielchristensen2493 I get what ur saying, but for example look at boxing today: what is its main focus? Competition, money, fame ect. I completely agree that boxing in ancient times was a martial art, but its been severely nerfed; the addition of so many rules and restrictions turned it into a sport as of today.
@@DudeRandom55734 I think we have completely different experiences with boxing. Knowing how to knock people out with your fists while moving doesn't cease to be effective just because you're no longer in a ring.
I think mentioning the combat side of tai chi more would have been good - I understand in most cases it is for health, but regardless of what you think about about its effectiveness, it does have combat/self defence applications in each move in the forms
Tai Chi coupled with a more aggressive martial art is a great combination. For many reasons. Getting in touch with your chi, focus, balance and spatial awareness are some these many benefits
@joesutter6819 there's nothing wrong with them not being for fighting but they are still taught for self defence and each move has self defence applications - but yes today we mostly do not see it as a martial art, and again I am not speaking to its effectiveness, just simply the fact that like other martial arts, the self defence component is still essential
@joesutter6819 I'm not sure how exactly they are any more "degenerated" then they were in ancient times, it's just that it's less commonly taught for self defence these days but there are still a large amount of people who learn it for self defence and I just think not mentioning that side misses a large amount of context, even modern day, to the way the art expresses itself
@joesutter6819 There are so many styles and modifications of those styles it depends what exactly you are referring to but I can assure you even in modern forms you can find a self defence application in each one
Being a Taekwondo Black Beltist I can approve what you said about our martial art but you forgot one very major and important thing that in this martial art POWER is one of the main thing....you need to be Powerful while kicking your opponent's butt lighting fast
This is literally the first time I see a video about martial arts that includes Hapkido, which is the martial art I practice. And I'm really glad that you got it pretty right with fluidity and circular motions, our two main principles. Good job, I'm actually really happy rn 😅 👍
@@davidnobular9220 honestly, I didn't know until I googled it. The main difference is that aikido is Japanese and hapkido is Korean. I'd also *guess* it's not as diverse as hapkido because we have like literally everything, kicks from taekwondo, punches from karate, jujitsu and Brazilian jujitsu stuff and kickboxing. But I don't know that for sure.
@@Aarush-Skywalker Hapkido originated in Daito Ryu Akijujutsu. As Jujutsu didn't have strikes and kicks they were added from Taekyon/Taekwondo. I find Hapkido kicks to be too high and flashy for self defence. The locks and throws are quite good though. Overall the biggest problem with Hapkido for self defence, apart from the flashy kicks, is that it just contains too much with some sources stating over 3000 techniques which is much too much...
2:15 this is specifically American Kickboxing, which is different from Dutch KB, Japanese KB, and Chinese KB (Sanda). Plus, even older arts such as Muay Thai and Lethwei can be considered KB styles. 3:30 Kungfu is the collective term for all Chinese martial arts. I prefer distinguishing the 4 major Chinese styles: Taijiquan, Wingchun (Yongchun), Shaolin family, and sport Wushu (which is a modern blend of many styles).
There is a philosophy that underpins every martial art. The philosophy is what created all their respective techniques and rhythms. Understanding the philoshophy will help us understand what they are trying to achieve, and continue the evolution of the art.
All of them do to an extent - if you cant get your mind where it needs to be for a boxing fight you're gonna get destroyed. But yes, there is a focus in asian martial arts on more than just hitting something as hard and fast as possible.
Very fun video! A minor point: tai chi is everything you said, but is also a complete combat system. All of the movements are full contact strikes, blocks, take downs, etc. just performed completely by muscular strength and control, rather than with the usual help of momentum, gravity, etc. The story I was told was it was initially slowed down to disguise the fighting element, then all the other benefits were discovered, though that sounds apocryphal. Nice job. Earned my sub.
It's rare to see a video covering multiple styles that offers no bias and details various aspects of each style. Awesome video! Did you know that Jigoro Kano (the founder of Judo) also introduced the belt ranking system common in many martial arts today?
About Muay Thai: you have to differentiate between Muay Thai and Muay Boran. While similar and related to one another there are still differences. The military application you mentioned is Muay Boran, not Muay Thai! Taekwondo: Many TKD organisations CLAIM that the art had centuries old traditions. WRONG! TKD comes from japanese Shotokan Karate and is an invention of the 20th century. Tai Chi: there are also differences. When speaking about application in a fight, the correct name is Tai Chi Chuan! Including Kickboxing, but not including Boxing into the video... very strange. Karate: very incomplete depiction. First: Okinawa was not part of Japan back then. It was incorporated into Japan only in 1879. Karate is older than that. So Karate is originally NOT a japanese Martial Art. It is an okinawan Martial Art. Second: you have to differentiate between modern Karate and classic Karate. Those flashy high kicks you see nowadays in competitions are literally non-existent in classic Karate, as the traditional okinawan and japanese clothing does not allow for such techniques. It is tied together too tightly. Classic Karate is Stand-up-grappling with a lot of joint locks and jointlock-induced throws, spiced up with punches, open hand strikes, ellbows knees and low kicks (the highest level of kicks is to the belt, but mostly you kick below that). You bring down your opponent without going to the ground yourself, because back then the rule of thumb was: "who goes to the ground, dies!" That is the reason why Karate teaches you how to bring somebody down, but it doesn't teach you ground game itself. One of Karate's short comings in my opinion. Modern day Karate is the result of deep going changes after WW 2. In the world of Karate WW 2 was the great catastrophe, where many promising practitioners and students of the old masters had perished. When it was introduced to mainland Japan in the 1920s the Dai Nippon Butokukai wanted to systematize and streamline all martial arts. The most notable change from classic Karate to modern Karate: the distance of engagement. In classic Karate it is close range, where you and your opponnent are at maximum an armlength apart. In mainland Japan the standard engagement distance to begin with was as if you held a Katana in hands and thus the distance was much bigger. You can still see that in Aikido today and their basic stance. What the Dai Nippon Butokukai didn't realize, was that with the change of the distance of engagement, the Kata don't make sense any longer. The application of Kata is highly dependent on the correct distance. Classic Karate is not for fights over a distance. It is a close quarters style. Kung Fu: there is no Kung Fu per se! There is Gong Fu, which means something like "Good technique". The correct umbrella term is Wushu. And there you also have to differentiate between modern Wushu and its classic form which is known as Wu Ji, which contains the countless number of different styles, among them Shaolin Chuan Fa. Styles that are more tending towards practical application and less show are Wu Ji. What people know as "Shaolin Kung Fu" is actually named Shaolin Chuan Fa. Judo: "a mix of Jiu Jitsu and other martial arts" Hm... What other martial arts are that supposed to be? I really would like to know. Including Kendo into the video, but not including the Martial Art where it came from: Kenjutsu. Quite strange for me. Also Iaido has to be mentioned in that matter. Krav Maga: its inventors name was Imrich Lichtenfeld, not Imi Lichtenfeld "Imi" was just a nickname. Later after he migrated to Israel he renamed himself to Imre Sde-Or. Wing Chun: why making a separate entry when you already mentioned it in the "Kung Fu section"? It falls very well under the umbrella of Wushu / Wu Ji. And why not including Philippino Martial Arts, like Silat, Kali, Escrima? Or Wrestling? Starting with Greco-Roman Wrestling, to Catch-Wrestling, to freestyle Wrestling. All in all the idea of such a video is a very cool one, in my opinion. But according to my experience it is way too big of a topic to squeeze into just one video.
Imma just say this. I love how you gathered all these styles together. but if you are trying to talk about Chinese fighting styles. You should definitely not try and put them in separate sections. Since in Chinese martial arts, though some are more famous (Like Tai chi （太極拳）, Jeet Kune DO （截拳道）， Wing Chun （詠春）as mentioned) there are a lot more that don't stand on any lower levels. like the Mantis Fist style（螳螂拳），BAJI style （八級拳），Wudang style （武當拳），Bagua zhang（八卦掌），Fanzi style（翻子拳）etc etc :D and along with the major weaponry martial arts from China like Qiang (spear/槍）, Jian (Sword/ 劍），dao （knife、刀），gun （staff/棍），gong（bow/弓）etc etc a lot more detailed separations that on itself separates into a lot more individual tyles like YangJia Qiang (楊家搶），xinyou dao style (辛酉刀法 【made just for going against katana styles】）cu men sword style（戚門劍）etc etc many many more :D. since Martial art's Chinese translation is just simply Wushu. which Wushu includes all as mentioned including the western styles. great work though, loved the explinations
I developed my personal fighting style based on my physical strength. I picked and chose different moves that would work for me. I am very heavy being 6 foot 5 and 300 pounds of muscle. I have thick and strong bones. It limits my speed and movement but since I have an extreme pain threshold I can take a beating. One time someone broke their hand punching me in the face. Someone tried to lock me up and I threw them off. Plus another person tried to flip me and I proceeded to collapse on them using my weight to their disadvantage. I'm known for throwing people into walls picking them up like luggage and tossing them letting them bounce off the wall. I even choked a man out with only one hand on his throat with him pressed against the wall with his feet dangling
@@leonardo9259 sour grapes lmao. Reality is, you start martial arts to assuage one of the primal fears of humans: being a helpless victim of violence. And while some of them are gonna be good enough, a lot of them will give you a false sense of security which can cost you were it counts. Hell, I remember my sensei was unable to even realize that I as a kid brought up a very real point: the stances we were being taught had VERY poor stability. I, in my 5-year-old way, argued that your opponent isn't gonna move in a straight line but to the side so what then? The stance we were taught was VERY narrow and tensed, which is a bad neutral stance any way you look at it. Point is, all this philosophy mumbo-jumbo will get you decked, and isn't exclusive to flippy pyjama play-fighting. I can be a perfectly functional boxer or judoka or wrestler or whatever else and STILL hold self-discipline and inner harmony. At least with actual martial arts there's stress-testing so you'll quickly figure out if your style works or if you're at a mcdojo. Why do you think you don't hear about boxing gurus that claim to be able to punch god in the teeth? It's cope, all of it. Any single "master" who isolates their style and encourages their pupils to be insular is an abject failure. Hollistic development is a literal core of many shaolin philosophies. To act like you're above a face of the activity you engage in is foolish.
4:40 it reminds me of viper grips, cradles & scissors which don’t involve hurting your opponent but rather stop them from moving. Which in wrestling a cradle isn’t a submission but rather a move to lock an opponent in place. It doesn’t hurt buts it’s extremely uncomfortable once your in a cradle. Same with a viper grip but it’s not from wrestling but I do know a viper grip is used in like institutions to keep someone from moving via grabbing their hands from behind and crossing them from the back like a restraint jacket. Once again it doesn’t hurt but it’s uncomfortable. I think there’s a move called scissors where you lock someone’s body via crossing your legs onto their body and it’s also uncomfortable. Most people don’t know these moves because they’re not made for combat and they are really really hard to learn so it’s rare. But like I said their just made to stop someone moving! The only move I think you’d see a lot In media to stop someone from moving would be the standing Full Nelson from WWE. The reason something like that is in WWE is the same reason you don’t see Cradles, Vipergrips and scissors; they don’t hurt!
Perfect timing, I’m creating a series and I wanted the martial arts in my series to be a factor that stands out compared to other series, much appreciated cuz I need all the information you can provide
@@yungjunkie666 While boxing is definitely useful in a fight, it's not the only option. No matter how good you get at boxing, it's not going to teach you how to punch downward, meaning if you graply the legs properly the boxer is unable to do anything. I'm not looking down at boxing, just mentioning that it's not guaranteed to be the best option. One thing I wanted to mention was that there is a version of taekwondo that has it's roots in the military and ment to kill the opponent.(I will try to find the name of it). What I'm getting at is, boxing is not the only way to fight.
Jeet kune do was originally wing chun, boxing and fencing. By 1970 he rejected everything wing chun related since he found it ineffective as he told his wing chun senior in 1969: "I have lost faith in the Chinese classical arts… my line of training is more toward efficient street fighting with everything goes… I’ve named my style jeet kune do, reason for my not sticking to Wing Chun is because I sincerely feel that this style has more to offer regarding efficiency."

Kalaripayattu, from India/Bharat.🙏🙏 The mother of Shaolin Kung Fu, and basis of almost all present day martial arts. One of the oldest martial art still alive on earth I'm proud to be a Kalari practitioner❤️
As a black belt in Hapkido, you nailed it. Thanks for the respectful representation. Its a great base to learn how joints lock and what people's natural reactions to the pain before jumping into jui jitsu, imo. If you can do them from standing (the objectively harder way to lock the joint), you can definitely do it on the ground.
@@PlainlyPutHQ Bro thrs a Martial Art form which is known as mother of all martial arts... Most of the above art forms are derived from it.. don't you think it deserves a place in your list...?
At 3min12sec, in the KARATE section, 2 people are wearing Tae Kwon Do uniforms sitting beside a Korean (and US flag). The publisher may want to fix this small mistake.
Your video is very great,it contains good amount of knowledge for those who want to know more about other martial arts. Btw can you do all types of Karate because it has a lot.
There are multiple things wrong with this. First of all, Bodhidharma was stated in the original legend to have taught the monks philosophies of Chan Buddhism that was later shaped by the monks into Shaolin Kung Fu. Nowhere in the original text does it mention Kalaripayattu. Second, this claim has been widely contested and debunked multiple times. The work itself is full of anachronistic mistakes, with the author having been described by scholars as an "ignorant village master." Even if this legend is true, this only applies to the Shaolin styles. Before shaolin other forms of kung fu like Shuai Jiao had existed for centuries. Please do not spread misinformation.
@@vigojim My profile picture is a character from the TV Show south park. It is a purely satirical character that represents East Asian people and stereotypes. And yes, I know Kung Fu, specifically Wing Chun. Outside of Kung Fu I also practice Muay Thai and Taekwondo.
I praticed hapkido, one of the best Martial arts to learn as a foundation, in some places very akin to the original Dayto Ryu, from there you have a basic knowledge and can go to make karate, bjj, aikido, judo, kendo. I went to bjj and in two months I was rolling with blue belts. For western combat though is harder to adapt.
Nice work. Where are Filipino martial arts represented? I don't know of any arts that train with weapons like they do. Maybe I am wrong, but do any other arts train with siniwali (or something similar)? I think I would use them as the archetype for arm traps and general knife work. Nice video though.
It depends what you want to become good at. If you want to become a good fighter, pick for instance Muay Thai or Boxing and cross train it with JJ, BJJ or Judo.
Do some kickboxing, muay Thai, silat and wrestling/ju jitsu silat alone will make you be able to defeat 99.8% of people on the streets the others are just coverage incase you have to go to the ground or if you need to do some kicking
I've always been interested in decent punches and in taekwondo's solid kicks, but WTF taekwondo (the only taekwondo near me) is practically all kicks no punch (correct me if I'm wrong). Any suggestions?
I would recommend adding Kalari into the list as it's the most ancient martial arts and basically all martial arts are derived from it including Kung fu
Bajiquan and xinyi liuhe quan are my favorite kung fu styles. Some of their moves can be incorporated into modern martial arts and can be used efficiently
Karate: Japanese martial art emphasizing punches and kicks Aikido: Japanese martial art emphasizing redirection Judo: Japanese martial art emphasizing grappling Kung Fu: Chinese martial art emphasizing open hand fighting Taekwondo: South Korean martial art emphasizing kicks and punches Wrestling: Greco-Roman martial art emphasizing grappling Pugilism: Western martial art emphasizing bare-knuckle punching Jiu-Jitsu: Brazilian marital art emphasizing submission holds Pankration (MMA): Greek martial art emphasizing the entire warrior . Parkour: French martial art emphasizing running away.
Aside from the AI Voice, it was an alright Video. I just started laughing when i realised i've trained in 12 of the 15 martial arts presented. Mains: Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Capoeira Secondaries: Long Fist & San Shou Kung Fu, Judo, JKD others: TKD, Tai Chi, Karate, Kendo, Wing Chun & BJJ
Wushu is one of many styles of Kung Fu, which is surprising he would separate Wing Chun when it's just another style that was popular in Southern China. now Tai Chi is the only one i would take off this list, but it is considered a martial art since it was used as one, but these days it's used more for exercise and meditation.
@Okae86 the actual name isn't really Wushu, it's a name Jet Li made famous, but it's mostly a mix of Tiger and Wing Chun in one thing. so you get the quick strikes from Wing Chun, and the claw base strikes from Tiger. some people say it also has some Tai Chi influence as part of wushu, but alot of Kung Fu styles have those circular motions. but since each style focused on a certain animal form, he basically took things from one art, and came up with his own style. it's no different than Bruce Lee. although in Lee's case, he didn't stay in Wing Chun. Jet Li is actually a master of the style, im not sure about Jackie Chan, but im sure he knows some as well.
@@skyluong Saying Okinawa is in Japan is like saying Puerto Rico is in the USA. Okinawa is a separate island/country that became a Japanese territory.
@@skyluong While you're not wrong, Up until the end of the 1800's it wasn't formally part of Japan as we think of it now, not being annexed by Japan until 1879, which also resulted in the indigenous culture (Ryukyu) of the region being suppressed and replaced with mainland culture. So, there is a degree of animosity towards Japan for claiming Okinawa, and people that are really into karate like to acknowledge that it is a holdover from the previous dominant culture of the region that was wiped out, rather than something that came from Honshu. Of course by this point, it's all blended and "Japan" as the country it came from isn't wrong.
@@shadowdance4666it's the other way around, Tango Soo Do was a style that Chuck Norris help start, but Taekwando is older, since the original style came from the Kwans. but the masters had the names Tang, but it wasn't until Chuck decided to use the name from the founder. early on Tango Soo Do was more like Karate, but with kicks similar to Taekwando, but later on it sort of evolved as it's own style. Hapkido is a very interesting art, but hard to master from what i under. considering they incorporate elements of Judo, Aikido, and Taekwando into one art. but Hapkido came a little after Taekwando.
For real bro, my man unironically said Krav Maga and Aikido were useful for self defense despite neither having any sort of data to prove that, and he said Judo is about "working smarter not harder" even though it's one of the hardest martial arts to master out there???
"Major" styles, probably represented by the ones most known to be practiced; agreed that Silat should have made the list, don't think the other two are as ACTIVELY practiced/schooled in as wide of an array in the world compared to the options chosen to discuss.
@@andrewsteifer520 i am into combinations of everything what might be working and this is Ninjutsu so don't understamate a true Ninja mindset because they are not ring fighters , they are everywhere fighters . The ability to adopt into new circumstances and especially every environment of these shadow warriors is one of a kind because they using brain not only fists like boxers . Ninjas are skilled in many ways of destroying the opponent. they will find some weak points in a split of a second and using this knowledge against their targets . . A modern Ninja will not walking with a Kama , he will merge with the environment like they dun this in the past and using everything what might be useful and also allowed by the law because self defence goes way more further then a street fight . I mean you have to know how to behave after the Battle to avoid even more problems . Intelligent warrior will fighting in a way the opponent can not predict and can not defend . Ideally the opponent should destroying himself . Ninja will using deception like a spider . I mean watch how they moving and hunting . If you dare to visit a spider on his own created web you are finished and this is Ninjutsu mindset . You have to know that there is you tube Ninjutsu ( what you should thinking about this style and it is a distraction by design ) and ligit Shinobi warrior style but this knowledge is not for you tube . In terms of Lima lama i have no experience at all but I like unique techniques like those seeing in Silat and Lima lama seems to be off this type . generally speaking if you are intelligent enough you can learn from anything around you . I don't know your background but I'm sure we could also learn of each other and this is the reason why I like to study all kind of martial arts not only my favorite styles because . It is like with climbing the ladder you using one step and leaving another the point is there is everywhere something you can incorporate at least for a while
@@Raktaarion Wow that's a lot, I don't even think I can read it all, a bit too much in response. But to answer what it seems you were trying to say by the first sentence: I never said Ninjutsu was weaker, should be underestimated, or whatever; I said there aren't as many people actively practicing it in sports, 'dojos,' etc throughout the world, which was probably one of the things qualifying what was being labeled as a "Major" style for this video to put in its list.
@@andrewsteifer520 Jeah that might be true but it depends on the country you live . Overall if some techniques are not common the better for me . this is exactly what I want because unique fighting style may giving advantages . I mean when your opponent does not know your background you will not telegraphing anything to him because he will have no clue what to expecting from you . For example Silat or bokator guys are moving in such a unique way ...their techniques are unpredictable to a practitioner of a ( major ) martial art . he would have a hard time to fighting such an opponent . Watch Ong Bak movie ... this is Bokator style and not Muay Thai like everyone is assuming in the comments . In Bokator they making themselves kind of small and then suddenly climbing on you to performing some heavy strikes this is typical to their fighting style they using also distraction like Ninjas .

You should have metion Indian Martial arts like Kalarippayattu. It has a major impact on many Asia and east asian martial arts. It is at least 2500 years old. When Buddism was spreading to Asia during that time many Indian culture concepts and ideas also spread which influenced their culture and martial art forms. They don't realise it now but it's true, concepts like meditation, yoga, have influenced many art forms like kung fu and Tai chi.
Japan made karate a global martial art.Okinawans were practicing it for their own personal defense,then Japan inserted it to practice in the whole nation.
Out of every martial art I've seen, BJJ scares me the most. As someone who is not very physically capable, The idea of having my joints teared and twisted to the point of life long disability is unsettling.
I did find it funny that they lumped the concept of all chinese martial arts into "Kung Fu" saying "It's diverse and includes Wing Chun and Thai Chi," and then has a separate section for both of those xD. Which is sad though because they AREN'T the same, they're different, all very different, it's like saying Thai Kickboxing and Kickboxing are the same, only if there were a dozen or more different regional kickboxing traditions that people knew about (probably are, they just likely aren't widely known or regarded as such). Kung Fu, as you a master knows, is purely a term that's been used to denote 'Chinese Martial Arts' (though its true translation doesn't mean that at all). But one has to be grateful for at least a little recognition in the area of Chinese Martial Arts when someone narrows down to 15 Major Martial Arts styles
@@andrewsteifer520but the kung fu is not a style, is all of the chinese marcial arts together trata-se why i said that kung fu and eing chun, tai chi are the same, because kung fu is not a kung fu style, it is a term used to refer to chinese marcial arts
Since many of you pointed out that a few popular styles were left out in this video, I went ahead and made Part 2. Check it out 👉 ruclips.net/video/cGPW6jijSnY/видео.html
Hey, nice video, man, but just a quick advice on writing (not really a writer, but I just want to point this out):
When you describe something make sure not to repeat the same adjectives and phrases, especially when you're doing a long list.
Tai Chi: "[It's not just for show], Tai Chi packs a punch in promoting balance..."
Kickboxing: "[It's not just about being able to throw a punch or a kick], it's about the whole package..."
Aikido: "[Aikido isn't just physical], it's a journey inward..."
Notice all of the phrases I put in brackets, if you remove them and replace them with a different transition, it woul make the message clearer and more efficient. You are using the same "not only, but" clause for every martial art, which is a bit distracting and gives off the vibe that they are all the same because of how you overuse that transition.
A suggestion that I'd make is to make the structure a bit different (if you'd want to make another video of this type)
It would go something like this:
Seperate the martial arts into practical and spiritual segments
Practical: What you learn to do in the martial art; Muay Thai uses all 8 body parts (shins, leg, elbow, palm), boxing focuses on the arm.
Spiritual: What each martial art REPRESENT. Their philosophies, origins, disciplines and principles they implement into their martial art.
Other than that though, your voiceover on the video is actually very well done. It feels like I'm listening to a high-budget company infomercial. Not a lot of people has that going for them, it's usually cut and dry voices like they're reading a script.

Good to hear it. I enjoyed this, but I can think of at least 6 that you didn't mention... and honestly, you mentioned boxing, but only part of kickboxing, so maybe that should be 7.
I really appreciate how you kept a positive approach to every style and did not bash or pick one or two over the others.
Which is its very problem.
If you are only allowed to say positive things about something, you are by default missing one entire side of it.

Being honest about how ineffective a fighting style is doesn't mean your bashing it. You can never compare A-fighting styles like Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Boxing, to some extent Karate with B-styles like Tai Chi, Kung-fu, Wing Chun. In a real world application with the B style you can get lucky once in a while but if you continue to delude yourself, you wil expire. Tae kwon do I'm in the middle. Love the beautiful kicks but the chances of knockout is low and the risk of a miss is too great but can be useful.

"Jiu Jitsu" is the Portuguese version of the Japanese word "jūjutsu". Therefore, Jiu jitsu and BJJ mean the same thing. In Brazil and even in most martial arts gyms many times people just call this sport jiu jitsu and not bjj because jiu jitsu itself means bjj. Long story short, if you want to talk about Japanese Jujutsu you should use the word "Jujutsu" and not "Jiu jitsu".
Or Ju-Jitsu. Just drop the i.
Bjj is like Kodokan Judo but focuses heavily on mostly on Newaza (ground fight). But its not strange becouse BJJ, Judo and Jujutsu are from same roots

@@Altay1667 good I also train jujutsu. Traditionell jujutsu/sport jujutsu and kodokan Judo 😀 but are a beginner my mainstyle is kyokushin karate
No. It's because there's no BJJ(Brazilian Jujutsu). There's only Jujutsu. What has been branded as BJJ is just Newaza. Newaza is Judo. Judo is Jujutsu. There's nothing Brazilian about BJJ. The gi(uniform), language,... is all Japanese. So instead of BJJ, many schools, gyms,... call it Jiu-jitsu which has nothing to do with the Portuguese language. Actually that term was used by Judokas back then before Kano Jiu-jitsu became Judo.
I like to think Mauy Thai is an extreme version of Kickboxing.
Because I’ve noticed there are more ways to strike your opponent in mauy thai than kickboxing.
Mauy Thai and kickboxing teaches how to strike.
For ground fighting Sambo is and extreme version of Wrestling. So sambo and wrestling teaches how to grapple
Taekwondo teaches how to use more kicks
BJJ teaches how to finish fights on the ground
Judo & Wrestling focuses on Takedowns
Capoeira teaches how to have good movement (I love my half moon kicks)
Krav Maga and tang su do teaches self defense tactics
Tai chi and Kong fu teaches mobility

"teaches you take downs" literally the same take downs as judo, and more
"teaches you movement" yes, aikido is almost all about foot work and foot placement and manuverabiilty
"teaches you self defese" literally has chapters on how to survive getting jump scared in a dark alley,
"trains your mental state" what taichi and kungfu actually do.

I think mentioning the combat side of tai chi more would have been good - I understand in most cases it is for health, but regardless of what you think about about its effectiveness, it does have combat/self defence applications in each move in the forms
Agreed he didn’t talk about Chen style Tai Chi which is older than Zhang’s tai chi and has more combat applications
Tai Chi coupled with a more aggressive martial art is a great combination. For many reasons. Getting in touch with your chi, focus, balance and spatial awareness are some these many benefits
@joesutter6819 there's nothing wrong with them not being for fighting but they are still taught for self defence and each move has self defence applications - but yes today we mostly do not see it as a martial art, and again I am not speaking to its effectiveness, just simply the fact that like other martial arts, the self defence component is still essential
@joesutter6819 I'm not sure how exactly they are any more "degenerated" then they were in ancient times, it's just that it's less commonly taught for self defence these days but there are still a large amount of people who learn it for self defence and I just think not mentioning that side misses a large amount of context, even modern day, to the way the art expresses itself
@joesutter6819 There are so many styles and modifications of those styles it depends what exactly you are referring to but I can assure you even in modern forms you can find a self defence application in each one
Being a Taekwondo Black Beltist I can approve what you said about our martial art but you forgot one very major and important thing that in this martial art POWER is one of the main thing....you need to be Powerful while kicking your opponent's butt lighting fast

Glad you enjoyed it!
So...I am wondering about differences between Hapkido and Aikido.....(besides the spelling)
@@davidnobular9220 honestly, I didn't know until I googled it. The main difference is that aikido is Japanese and hapkido is Korean. I'd also *guess* it's not as diverse as hapkido because we have like literally everything, kicks from taekwondo, punches from karate, jujitsu and Brazilian jujitsu stuff and kickboxing. But I don't know that for sure.
@@Aarush-Skywalker Thanks for the reply !!
Cheers
@@Aarush-Skywalker Hapkido originated in Daito Ryu Akijujutsu. As Jujutsu didn't have strikes and kicks they were added from Taekyon/Taekwondo. I find Hapkido kicks to be too high and flashy for self defence. The locks and throws are quite good though. Overall the biggest problem with Hapkido for self defence, apart from the flashy kicks, is that it just contains too much with some sources stating over 3000 techniques which is much too much...
2:15 this is specifically American Kickboxing, which is different from Dutch KB, Japanese KB, and Chinese KB (Sanda). Plus, even older arts such as Muay Thai and Lethwei can be considered KB styles.
3:30 Kungfu is the collective term for all Chinese martial arts. I prefer distinguishing the 4 major Chinese styles: Taijiquan, Wingchun (Yongchun), Shaolin family, and sport Wushu (which is a modern blend of many styles).
There is a philosophy that underpins every martial art. The philosophy is what created all their respective techniques and rhythms. Understanding the philoshophy will help us understand what they are trying to achieve, and continue the evolution of the art.
Note that the Asian martial arts also includes training of the mind
All of them do to an extent - if you cant get your mind where it needs to be for a boxing fight you're gonna get destroyed. But yes, there is a focus in asian martial arts on more than just hitting something as hard and fast as possible.
What about Kalaripayattu?. Its known as the mother of all martial arts. Please also do a video on it.
Very fun video! A minor point: tai chi is everything you said, but is also a complete combat system. All of the movements are full contact strikes, blocks, take downs, etc. just performed completely by muscular strength and control, rather than with the usual help of momentum, gravity, etc. The story I was told was it was initially slowed down to disguise the fighting element, then all the other benefits were discovered, though that sounds apocryphal.
Nice job. Earned my sub.
Thank you for your feedback 🙏🏼
It's rare to see a video covering multiple styles that offers no bias and details various aspects of each style. Awesome video! Did you know that Jigoro Kano (the founder of Judo) also introduced the belt ranking system common in many martial arts today?
About Muay Thai: you have to differentiate between Muay Thai and Muay Boran. While similar and related to one another there are still differences. The military application you mentioned is Muay Boran, not Muay Thai!
Taekwondo: Many TKD organisations CLAIM that the art had centuries old traditions. WRONG! TKD comes from japanese Shotokan Karate and is an invention of the 20th century.
Tai Chi: there are also differences. When speaking about application in a fight, the correct name is Tai Chi Chuan!
Including Kickboxing, but not including Boxing into the video... very strange.
Karate: very incomplete depiction. First: Okinawa was not part of Japan back then. It was incorporated into Japan only in 1879. Karate is older than that. So Karate is originally NOT a japanese Martial Art. It is an okinawan Martial Art. Second: you have to differentiate between modern Karate and classic Karate. Those flashy high kicks you see nowadays in competitions are literally non-existent in classic Karate, as the traditional okinawan and japanese clothing does not allow for such techniques. It is tied together too tightly. Classic Karate is Stand-up-grappling with a lot of joint locks and jointlock-induced throws, spiced up with punches, open hand strikes, ellbows knees and low kicks (the highest level of kicks is to the belt, but mostly you kick below that). You bring down your opponent without going to the ground yourself, because back then the rule of thumb was: "who goes to the ground, dies!" That is the reason why Karate teaches you how to bring somebody down, but it doesn't teach you ground game itself. One of Karate's short comings in my opinion. Modern day Karate is the result of deep going changes after WW 2. In the world of Karate WW 2 was the great catastrophe, where many promising practitioners and students of the old masters had perished. When it was introduced to mainland Japan in the 1920s the Dai Nippon Butokukai wanted to systematize and streamline all martial arts. The most notable change from classic Karate to modern Karate: the distance of engagement. In classic Karate it is close range, where you and your opponnent are at maximum an armlength apart. In mainland Japan the standard engagement distance to begin with was as if you held a Katana in hands and thus the distance was much bigger. You can still see that in Aikido today and their basic stance. What the Dai Nippon Butokukai didn't realize, was that with the change of the distance of engagement, the Kata don't make sense any longer. The application of Kata is highly dependent on the correct distance. Classic Karate is not for fights over a distance. It is a close quarters style.
Kung Fu: there is no Kung Fu per se! There is Gong Fu, which means something like "Good technique". The correct umbrella term is Wushu. And there you also have to differentiate between modern Wushu and its classic form which is known as Wu Ji, which contains the countless number of different styles, among them Shaolin Chuan Fa. Styles that are more tending towards practical application and less show are Wu Ji. What people know as "Shaolin Kung Fu" is actually named Shaolin Chuan Fa.
Judo: "a mix of Jiu Jitsu and other martial arts" Hm... What other martial arts are that supposed to be? I really would like to know.
Including Kendo into the video, but not including the Martial Art where it came from: Kenjutsu. Quite strange for me. Also Iaido has to be mentioned in that matter.
Krav Maga: its inventors name was Imrich Lichtenfeld, not Imi Lichtenfeld "Imi" was just a nickname. Later after he migrated to Israel he renamed himself to Imre Sde-Or.
Wing Chun: why making a separate entry when you already mentioned it in the "Kung Fu section"? It falls very well under the umbrella of Wushu / Wu Ji.
And why not including Philippino Martial Arts, like Silat, Kali, Escrima? Or Wrestling? Starting with Greco-Roman Wrestling, to Catch-Wrestling, to freestyle Wrestling.
All in all the idea of such a video is a very cool one, in my opinion. But according to my experience it is way too big of a topic to squeeze into just one video.

Imma just say this. I love how you gathered all these styles together. but if you are trying to talk about Chinese fighting styles. You should definitely not try and put them in separate sections. Since in Chinese martial arts, though some are more famous (Like Tai chi （太極拳）, Jeet Kune DO （截拳道）， Wing Chun （詠春）as mentioned) there are a lot more that don't stand on any lower levels. like the Mantis Fist style（螳螂拳），BAJI style （八級拳），Wudang style （武當拳），Bagua zhang（八卦掌），Fanzi style（翻子拳）etc etc :D and along with the major weaponry martial arts from China like Qiang (spear/槍）, Jian (Sword/ 劍），dao （knife、刀），gun （staff/棍），gong（bow/弓）etc etc a lot more detailed separations that on itself separates into a lot more individual tyles like YangJia Qiang (楊家搶），xinyou dao style (辛酉刀法 【made just for going against katana styles】）cu men sword style（戚門劍）etc etc many many more :D. since Martial art's Chinese translation is just simply Wushu. which Wushu includes all as mentioned including the western styles. great work though, loved the explinations

I developed my personal fighting style based on my physical strength. I picked and chose different moves that would work for me. I am very heavy being 6 foot 5 and 300 pounds of muscle. I have thick and strong bones. It limits my speed and movement but since I have an extreme pain threshold I can take a beating. One time someone broke their hand punching me in the face. Someone tried to lock me up and I threw them off. Plus another person tried to flip me and I proceeded to collapse on them using my weight to their disadvantage. I'm known for throwing people into walls picking them up like luggage and tossing them letting them bounce off the wall. I even choked a man out with only one hand on his throat with him pressed against the wall with his feet dangling

@@leonardo9259 sour grapes lmao. Reality is, you start martial arts to assuage one of the primal fears of humans: being a helpless victim of violence. And while some of them are gonna be good enough, a lot of them will give you a false sense of security which can cost you were it counts. Hell, I remember my sensei was unable to even realize that I as a kid brought up a very real point: the stances we were being taught had VERY poor stability. I, in my 5-year-old way, argued that your opponent isn't gonna move in a straight line but to the side so what then? The stance we were taught was VERY narrow and tensed, which is a bad neutral stance any way you look at it.
Point is, all this philosophy mumbo-jumbo will get you decked, and isn't exclusive to flippy pyjama play-fighting. I can be a perfectly functional boxer or judoka or wrestler or whatever else and STILL hold self-discipline and inner harmony. At least with actual martial arts there's stress-testing so you'll quickly figure out if your style works or if you're at a mcdojo. Why do you think you don't hear about boxing gurus that claim to be able to punch god in the teeth?

4:40 it reminds me of viper grips, cradles & scissors which don’t involve hurting your opponent but rather stop them from moving.
Which in wrestling a cradle isn’t a submission but rather a move to lock an opponent in place. It doesn’t hurt buts it’s extremely uncomfortable once your in a cradle.
Same with a viper grip but it’s not from wrestling but I do know a viper grip is used in like institutions to keep someone from moving via grabbing their hands from behind and crossing them from the back like a restraint jacket. Once again it doesn’t hurt but it’s uncomfortable. I think there’s a move called scissors where you lock someone’s body via crossing your legs onto their body and it’s also uncomfortable. Most people don’t know these moves because they’re not made for combat and they are really really hard to learn so it’s rare. But like I said their just made to stop someone moving!
The only move I think you’d see a lot In media to stop someone from moving would be the standing Full Nelson from WWE. The reason something like that is in WWE is the same reason you don’t see Cradles, Vipergrips and scissors; they don’t hurt!

Fun fact :-
Kung fu is derived from Kalaripayattu
True
There are multiple things wrong with this. First of all, Bodhidharma was stated in the original legend to have taught the monks philosophies of Chan Buddhism that was later shaped by the monks into Shaolin Kung Fu. Nowhere in the original text does it mention Kalaripayattu. Second, this claim has been widely contested and debunked multiple times. The work itself is full of anachronistic mistakes, with the author having been described by scholars as an "ignorant village master." Even if this legend is true, this only applies to the Shaolin styles. Before shaolin other forms of kung fu like Shuai Jiao had existed for centuries. Please do not spread misinformation.
@@nathantheasian9316 ok bro, sorry, it's not important who taught the teaching, the important thing is teaching, btw do you know kung fu?
@@nathantheasian9316 and why your profile pic looks racist, I'm also a Asian(indian) but i don't think so all Asians look alike
@@vigojim My profile picture is a character from the TV Show south park. It is a purely satirical character that represents East Asian people and stereotypes. And yes, I know Kung Fu, specifically Wing Chun. Outside of Kung Fu I also practice Muay Thai and Taekwondo.
As a kendo marshal artist I thank you for adding it
underrated fr
🙏🏼
I praticed hapkido, one of the best Martial arts to learn as a foundation, in some places very akin to the original Dayto Ryu, from there you have a basic knowledge and can go to make karate, bjj, aikido, judo, kendo. I went to bjj and in two months I was rolling with blue belts. For western combat though is harder to adapt.
HAPKIDO MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥🔥 getting a like
Brazilian jiu jitsu,, alkido is a perfect combination I always use that combination of ticnick when I"ll practice
The best short Explanations 🙏🏻
Glad it was helpful!
You should include Kalaripayattu
I'd love to see you make Part 2.❤❤❤
👀
Thanks for an informative video
Nice work.
Where are Filipino martial arts represented?
I don't know of any arts that train with weapons like they do. Maybe I am wrong, but do any other arts train with siniwali (or something similar)?
I think I would use them as the archetype for arm traps and general knife work.
Nice video though.
I agree...how did he forget FMA
Bro literally avoided boxing
Yo this is sick I do old karate and boxing and Krav Maga and judo but my main is karate
Wow, that’s awesome 👍🏽
Dang bro ( Just go with this kid )
Dang bro I do muay thai, boxing, judo, wing chun and some karate
@@ceooftaxfraud8974 we are similar i do muay thai, boxing , little bit of taekwondo and the defence of karate
@@ceooftaxfraud8974I didn’t know Muay Thai guys like karate
Do a video about kalaripayattu from Kerala.......
I think Ninjutsu is the best
❤️ Kalyug ❤️ ke ❤️ Krishna ❤️ Sri ❤️ acharya ❤️ Prashant ❤️ ji ❤️ ki ❤️ jai ❤️ ho ❤️ 0:46
I need to choose one of these and commit to it
My personal opinion, I recommend one of the following:
Muay Thai
Kickboxing
Jiu-Jitsu / Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Boxing
It depends what you want to become good at. If you want to become a good fighter, pick for instance Muay Thai or Boxing and cross train it with JJ, BJJ or Judo.
Do some kickboxing, muay Thai, silat and wrestling/ju jitsu silat alone will make you be able to defeat 99.8% of people on the streets the others are just coverage incase you have to go to the ground or if you need to do some kicking
Yeah I've started Muay Thai!
I've always been interested in decent punches and in taekwondo's solid kicks, but WTF taekwondo (the only taekwondo near me) is practically all kicks no punch (correct me if I'm wrong). Any suggestions?
I am a rich guy,
So is it possible for me to learn each of them in single life???
Seidokan Aikido XLNT ☯️
Great video. But you probably should have took a few more minutes to mention at least a few more arts such as : Boxing, Wrestling,Sambo,Tang soo do
Needed this 😮
Glad you liked it!
Seeing so many martial arts listed in the video made me think about parkour
Tai chi being on the list, but not Boxing or Wrestling is a sin.
I would recommend adding Kalari into the list as it's the most ancient martial arts and basically all martial arts are derived from it including Kung fu
Kalari-payattu 🙋
This one is a dangerous artform
Bajiquan and xinyi liuhe quan are my favorite kung fu styles. Some of their moves can be incorporated into modern martial arts and can be used efficiently
What about Catch Can Wrestling?😢
Wow
Such an informative video about different styles of martial arts 👏
BTW I'm a kickboxer 😅
Glad you liked it!
Bro how can you not include kalaripayattu. It's literally called"mother of all martial arts".(From India)

Pankration (MMA): Greek martial art emphasizing the entire warrior
.
Parkour: French martial art emphasizing running away.
Aside from the AI Voice, it was an alright Video. I just started laughing when i realised i've trained in 12 of the 15 martial arts presented.
Mains: Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Capoeira
Secondaries: Long Fist & San Shou Kung Fu, Judo, JKD
others: TKD, Tai Chi, Karate, Kendo, Wing Chun & BJJ
Damn, who are you batman😂😂
Wow, that’s awesome 👍🏽
😂😂😂
ha can you use them tho?
@@lilknox2225 I wish i was rich, but I prefer my parents alive 😂🤣
Kendo ? Looks cool and fun
It really is
what about wushu!? My boi Jet Li goes hard with Wushu.
Wushu is one of many styles of Kung Fu, which is surprising he would separate Wing Chun when it's just another style that was popular in Southern China. now Tai Chi is the only one i would take off this list, but it is considered a martial art since it was used as one, but these days it's used more for exercise and meditation.
@Okae86 the actual name isn't really Wushu, it's a name Jet Li made famous, but it's mostly a mix of Tiger and Wing Chun in one thing. so you get the quick strikes from Wing Chun, and the claw base strikes from Tiger.
some people say it also has some Tai Chi influence as part of wushu, but alot of Kung Fu styles have those circular motions. but since each style focused on a certain animal form,
he basically took things from one art, and came up with his own style.
it's no different than Bruce Lee. although in Lee's case, he didn't stay in Wing Chun. Jet Li is actually a master of the style, im not sure about Jackie Chan, but im sure he knows some as well.
@@Jeymez ahh interesting
Where is Boxing?!

It seems like everything is a blend of something and more than just martial arts
Karate you mean straight out of Okinawa not Japan 😂
You realize Okinawa is in Japan right?
@@skyluong Saying Okinawa is in Japan is like saying Puerto Rico is in the USA. Okinawa is a separate island/country that became a Japanese territory.
Im too busy to start a comment war whatever they call it so let’s just say you’re right
@@skyluong While you're not wrong, Up until the end of the 1800's it wasn't formally part of Japan as we think of it now, not being annexed by Japan until 1879, which also resulted in the indigenous culture (Ryukyu) of the region being suppressed and replaced with mainland culture. So, there is a degree of animosity towards Japan for claiming Okinawa, and people that are really into karate like to acknowledge that it is a holdover from the previous dominant culture of the region that was wiped out, rather than something that came from Honshu. Of course by this point, it's all blended and "Japan" as the country it came from isn't wrong.
@@skyluong 😂😂👍🤡

Glad u enjoyed the video 👍🏽
Is Kajukenbo considered a martial arts? It’s rarely mentioned and i’m wondering why? Is it because there aren’t many Kajukenbo schools?

Hello Tang Soo Do
TSD and TKD are incredibly similar. I studied both. The forms and techniques are basically the same
@@neal.karn-jones because TKD came from TSD
@@shadowdance4666it's the other way around, Tango Soo Do was a style that Chuck Norris help start, but Taekwando is older, since the original style came from the Kwans. but the masters had the names Tang, but it wasn't until Chuck decided to use the name from the founder.
early on Tango Soo Do was more like Karate, but with kicks similar to Taekwando, but later on it sort of evolved as it's own style. Hapkido is a very interesting art, but hard to master from what i under. considering they incorporate elements of Judo, Aikido, and Taekwando into one art.
but Hapkido came a little after Taekwando.
5:09 judo the gentle art of folding someone's clothes while they are still wear them
Your opinions seem to be very poorly researched
For real bro, my man unironically said Krav Maga and Aikido were useful for self defense despite neither having any sort of data to prove that, and he said Judo is about "working smarter not harder" even though it's one of the hardest martial arts to master out there???
yeah, they called muay thai a swiss army knife, even tho they have a pretty limited moveset compared to styles like karate
@@ScareBarley???? You srsly compared karate to muay thai LOL ok bro thats why everytime muay thai wins karate shitshow
I think from this I am most interested in learning Hapkido and Krav Maga and maybe jujitsu
There are much more styles like Silat , Ninjutsu or Lima lama 🥋🙄
"Major" styles, probably represented by the ones most known to be practiced; agreed that Silat should have made the list, don't think the other two are as ACTIVELY practiced/schooled in as wide of an array in the world compared to the options chosen to discuss.
@@andrewsteifer520 i am into combinations of everything what might be working and this is Ninjutsu so don't understamate a true Ninja mindset because they are not ring fighters , they are everywhere fighters . The ability to adopt into new circumstances and especially every environment of these shadow warriors is one of a kind because they using brain not only fists like boxers . Ninjas are skilled in many ways of destroying the opponent. they will find some weak points in a split of a second and using this knowledge against their targets . . A modern Ninja will not walking with a Kama , he will merge with the environment like they dun this in the past and using everything what might be useful and also allowed by the law because self defence goes way more further then a street fight . I mean you have to know how to behave after the Battle to avoid even more problems . Intelligent warrior will fighting in a way the opponent can not predict and can not defend . Ideally the opponent should destroying himself . Ninja will using deception like a spider . I mean watch how they moving and hunting . If you dare to visit a spider on his own created web you are finished and this is Ninjutsu mindset . You have to know that there is you tube Ninjutsu ( what you should thinking about this style and it is a distraction by design ) and ligit Shinobi warrior style but this knowledge is not for you tube . In terms of Lima lama i have no experience at all but I like unique techniques like those seeing in Silat and Lima lama seems to be off this type . generally speaking if you are intelligent enough you can learn from anything around you . I don't know your background but I'm sure we could also learn of each other and this is the reason why I like to study all kind of martial arts not only my favorite styles because . It is like with climbing the ladder you using one step and leaving another the point is there is everywhere something you can incorporate at least for a while
@@Raktaarion Wow that's a lot, I don't even think I can read it all, a bit too much in response. But to answer what it seems you were trying to say by the first sentence: I never said Ninjutsu was weaker, should be underestimated, or whatever; I said there aren't as many people actively practicing it in sports, 'dojos,' etc throughout the world, which was probably one of the things qualifying what was being labeled as a "Major" style for this video to put in its list.
@@andrewsteifer520 Jeah that might be true but it depends on the country you live . Overall if some techniques are not common the better for me . this is exactly what I want because unique fighting style may giving advantages . I mean when your opponent does not know your background you will not telegraphing anything to him because he will have no clue what to expecting from you . For example Silat or bokator guys are moving in such a unique way ...their techniques are unpredictable to a practitioner of a ( major ) martial art . he would have a hard time to fighting such an opponent . Watch Ong Bak movie ... this is Bokator style and not Muay Thai like everyone is assuming in the comments . In Bokator they making themselves kind of small and then suddenly climbing on you to performing some heavy strikes this is typical to their fighting style they using also distraction like Ninjas . Here you get a clear picture of the magnificence of this style m.ruclips.net/video/8NUPf50LAFo/видео.html
@Raktaarion dude... look at the energy and level of detail I'm offering in the opinions on these comments, compare them to your own. Write less.
Father of martial arts Bodhidharma
Where is Kalaripayattu,the mother of Kung fu??
As a jujitsuka, I can tell you BJJ is the art of folding clothes with people still wearing them
I heard wing chun don't have blocks
They do.
@@switchipedegames my bad ! Thanks for the correction!
You should have metion Indian Martial arts like Kalarippayattu. It has a major impact on many Asia and east asian martial arts. It is at least 2500 years old. When Buddism was spreading to Asia during that time many Indian culture concepts and ideas also spread which influenced their culture and martial art forms. They don't realise it now but it's true, concepts like meditation, yoga, have influenced many art forms like kung fu and Tai chi.
This triggers me. Wing chun, tai chi and jeet kune do are all forms of kung fu
EXCELLENT LIST.
Karate is from Okinawa, not Japan, other than that, good video.
Japan made karate a global martial art.Okinawans were practicing it for their own personal defense,then Japan inserted it to practice in the whole nation.
Out of every martial art I've seen, BJJ scares me the most. As someone who is not very physically capable, The idea of having my joints teared and twisted to the point of life long disability is unsettling.
no seas cobarde
Wing chun,tai chi and kung fu are the same i am a wing chun master
Same
I did find it funny that they lumped the concept of all chinese martial arts into "Kung Fu" saying "It's diverse and includes Wing Chun and Thai Chi," and then has a separate section for both of those xD. Which is sad though because they AREN'T the same, they're different, all very different, it's like saying Thai Kickboxing and Kickboxing are the same, only if there were a dozen or more different regional kickboxing traditions that people knew about (probably are, they just likely aren't widely known or regarded as such). Kung Fu, as you a master knows, is purely a term that's been used to denote 'Chinese Martial Arts' (though its true translation doesn't mean that at all). But one has to be grateful for at least a little recognition in the area of Chinese Martial Arts when someone narrows down to 15 Major Martial Arts styles
I'm afraid that you're mistaken
@@andrewsteifer520but the kung fu is not a style, is all of the chinese marcial arts together trata-se why i said that kung fu and eing chun, tai chi are the same, because kung fu is not a kung fu style, it is a term used to refer to chinese marcial arts
@@jdabbb591?
You missed the opportunities to say judo is the art of folding laundry while you're opponent is so wearing their clothes.
I never heard of that before 🤪
