What Martial Art compliments Karate best?

admin — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 13:31:35 +0000

I’m 16 and have been doing karate for 8 years and have achieved 1st Dan and would like to try something new. There is a Krav Maga club nearby but it is for over 18s only. Is there any other martial arts that compliment karate such as Wing Chun or Bujikan?

a first degree black belt only means you have an understand of the basics and nothing more. you have barely learned anything about karate. i doubt you full understand all the grappling involved, as for krav maga all the techniques in krav maga are in your kata, if you understand the bunkai, oyo , Kakushi, Henka and sutemi of kata. which you haven’t reach those level of application yet.

karate is a complete system, it contains locks, throws, traps, Kokyu (breathe control) Kaeshu (reversals), Atemi (vital strike to vital area), Kyusho (pressure point strikes), Kensetsu (bone or joint bending), Appaku (applied pressure), Kotekitai (absorbing and controlling pain)
Nage (throwing),Chime (choking) and soforth, it takes decades just to understand one style.
your question is a good example of why children should not test for black belt, they just dont understand what a black belt is, and how much more there is to learn in there present style.

What is better in fighting? Being big and very muscular or being very skilled at martial arts/ karate?

admin — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 13:21:32 +0000

Also what type of skill and chance does a blue belt have against fighting a normal athletically fit person?

Being skilled in martial arts is a major advantage. Fighting is not so much about strength/power but rather technique, skill, and experience.

BQ: A blue belt would have a very solid chance of overcoming an "athletic" person (back when I studied martial arts, I sparred with several, they were VERY proficient).

What martial art is better than the other? – Judo or Karate?

admin — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 00:38:18 +0000

I was thinking to learn a fighting style of martial arts (only Judo or Karate), because I think that it will help me a lot with my flexibility, strength and stamina, so I decided to ask questions and get good answers. (I only chose Judo or Karate because they are the only local ones). Thank You

Most people do not realize how interlinked these systems are. I recommend finding a traditional Karate school that also offers Judo. There are many out there. I was trained in both Goju Ryu and Judo at the same time and my Sensei was really good at interlinking the too when we did Randori (free exercise). Both are great for what you are looking to gain from them and I applaud you for not wanting to be in them just to learn fighting ability. Good luck.

Can I start the martial art Karate?

admin — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 17:14:35 +0000

Hi everyone!

I am a 16 years old male.
I want to start karate but I want to prepare myself first.

My weight is 170 lbs and my height is 5 feet and 10 inches.

I am not in the best shape but I want to get in shape before starting the class.

So my questions are: Am I too fat to start karate?How much weight should I lose? How can I prepare myself for karate?

Thank you very much!

No need to "prepare" yourself. Karate training is a good way to get into better shape. I’ve noticed most people who want to "prepare" themselves, physically, to begin martial arts almost never follow through on the martial arts training. They get caught up in the mentality that there’s an "ideal" condition they should be in first, a condition they are never satisfied with. Just go start karate. Yes, when you first start off, you’ll be out of breath, and your muscles will be sore. But the more you do it, the easier it will be.
