Reply:I from Japan, own many good movies on DVD, "Rashomon", "Yojimbo", "Sanjuro", "Manji Mai', "Zero Woman" 8 or 9 in series, "Kunoichi", "Kekko Kamen" 4 in series, "Weather Woman" 2 in series, "Shin Babu Rato", "Suitorumu", "Airodu Densetsu" (last 3 star me).
Reply:Rashomon is one of the greatest japanese films made. It is about seeing a crime from several different people's perspectives and showing how people interpret things differently. Ultimately, those who witness the same crime all appear to have a different version of events. It is really good, the plot has been used in several modern day movies, notably new film Vantage point starring Foresr Whitaker. I've provided a link for the film if you wanna watch it. It is really good, even visually it is very beautiful.
Reply:Full Time Killer
Its in chinese, japanese, and english. Love this movie to death. Alot of action and a real plot.
Reply:Since I haven't seen any of those, I can't reccomend anything
but maybe this will help (?)

Im doing a book and i need a name for the martial arts dojo that im wrighting about *more details inside*?
so i need a name of a martial arts gym for tai jitsu it would be cool if it was they dojos name was in like korean or japaniese or somthing thanks
Im doing a book and i need a name for the martial arts dojo that im wrighting about *more details inside*?
tai jitsu is actually the fighting style found in Ninjitsu. Ninjitsu has various disciplines including shriuken jitsu, which is chinese star art, and other jitsu disciplines. Tai is the fighting part, hand to hand. so look for a ninjitsu school. hope this helps.
Reply:Call it "I hope someone other than the person who edited your question edits your book dojo."

Why do some people say that ONE martial arts is the best? Especially for street fighting?
I'm sure that back in the Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan days, everyone said the best martial arts to learn was kung fu. Now a lot of people say brazilian jujitsu (probably cuz of that UFC guy, Royce Gracie) and several vacillate between kickboxing and muy thai.
Me personally, I am a blackbelt in Tae Kwon Do, and while I don't think it's THE best, I enjoy it very much and I believe it would be a very effective tool in combat, if you know how to use it. The Korean Marines trained in TKD extensively, and they were renowned for their hand-to-hand combat skills in the Vietnam War.
Not meaning to discredit the effectiveness of throws and submission holds, though. I've already learned a few and I will look into taking jujitsu/akido classes or something similar, as soon as I can afford it.
But point is, why say that ONE martial arts is the best? They all focus on different things and qualities. I think it really depends on the person. And besides, martial arts wasn't about... (read on)
Why do some people say that ONE martial arts is the best? Especially for street fighting?
Tae kwon do can be a good martial art, true, but it depends on the instructor, really. Part of the problem with modern TKD is that it is an olympic sport, so most of the traditional values have been lost.
Now there is no PERFECT martial art, but there is a type of martial arts that are the best, no matter what. these are the mixed martial arts, ones where the founders have implemented techniques from many varying styles to forge a truly dominate style.
Grappling styles like aikido and ju-jitsu, while effective, they usually only teach the students how to get the opponent to the ground, what to do next?
Striking styles like Muay Thai are very vulnerable to the grappling styles, or most scenarios they havent been in before.
Karates (and most TKD dojos) would be the best type to learn. The style I do, Seido Karate, implements techniques from Shotokan, Goju-ryu, Kyokushin, amd in some ways Aikido. punches, kicks, blocks, stances, breathing techniques, footwork, throws, joint locks, ground fighting, scenarios for fights, sparring, physical training and conditioning, weapons :-D, and traditional values. not that this is the only school like that. Shotokan, goju-ryu, shito-ryu, kyokushin, they are all great styles. The main reason why Karate and TKD are the best styles is like what you said: they give real life scenarios for self-defense, so that you can apply them. although most of the pressure would be on the student to take in all the valuable information.
Reply:...however, I don't agree that TKD is THE best. And I would probably train in several established styles before I try MMA. Report It

FYI.
Reply:You actually make the point that I try to convey whenever I feel like answering the bi-weekly question of which martial arts is best for the street!
I would say that the reason most people tend to think there is one system or combination of systems that is better than all others is due to ignorance. What is best for one may not be best for another. Essentially, it boils down to "my dog is better than your dog" or "my dad can beat up your dad" methodology. Ego plays a big factor.
It is also unfortunate that somebody who should know better would refer to any other system as "crap" too, larry the orc
Reply:Really I think you could say that krav maga is the best for street fighting. It teaches you strikes that will disable your opponent, "submissions" that break joints instead of submitting people, how to use handy objects as weapons, and how to take out someone quickly. In a true street fight (especially if unprovoked by you) you want to disable someone, period. No rules, no quarter, just win. Like strike to the groin, throw, arm break or shoulder dislocate. That should be fight over. If you are throwing high kicks or anything fancy you are going to get knocked out. Other than that BJJ (brazilian jiu jitsu) is favored by many because it allows a significantly smaller fighter to overpower a larger fighter through technique and leverage. Again, in a real street fight the submission techniques would be used to break or dislocate a joint or bone. Any martial art package (MMA) training is best because it teaches a variety of techniques, but the bottom line is that without full contact sparring, you will never know what it is like to get punched in the face or hurt, which is extremely important. You might be right about one not necessarily being "the best" but obviously some are better than others, especially when it comes to practical street use.
Reply:Muay Thai and BJJ have proved their strengths in street fighting and practical aplications. ITs great if you can do all the flashy leg work because thats what makes it an art. But Muay Thai and BJJ have proven very effective I myself learn and teach kung-fu Tiger pal to be exact and prefer usign that if i have to fight but iknow if i tried using purified kung-fu in a fight ide get the crap beaten out of me if i fine tuned it for practical fighting it would be fine. But thats the problem no ones willing to learn a bunch of impractical things and adapt it. Thats why Muay Thai and BJJ are treasured they are very practical. K hope i clarified things bye
Reply:Why should any one art be the best ????????
I agree
Let me tell you it is all in the moment many years ago I had a knife pulled on me twice as a doorman (security) the first time i took it off them the second time i ran WHY i dont know it was my job to stop them. The first time i had to be pulled off the guy but strangley enough the second guy was smaller posed less threat but i still ran.
There are so many factors in your own mental state before you consider your training as a factor, it is easy to win a tournament or sit in front of your computor and talk up your drills/ skills.
But to be faced with reality is a differant matter.
Most of the stlyes people discuss are sport because there is vidieo proof of somone being knocked out (i come from these)
But this proves nothing on the streets.
NOTHING WORKS EVERYTHING WORKS
It all depends on the circumstances, situation and your state of mind
if they all come together with your training you still may lose but at least you had a go.
If not you get beaten or run.
instinct is the best form of combat you need to train for many years for instinct is evolution
you can evolve in your life time to allow your matial arts to become instinct but sadly this is not ranked ie by being a black belt.
There is no 1 art just instinct and if an art becomes your instinct no matter what it is it is the best!!!!!!
Reply:jeet-kun-do. pay attention %26amp; you'll see why.
Reply:Absolute best for street fighting is MMA. Hands down!!!! Its the only stlye i know you train in actual stand up and ground contact to its fullest. Like the saying goes tap out or pass out if not break it. I train in Vegas doing MMA. I also did TKD. TKD does nothing in a real fight. Have you ever seen a grandmaster get their butt kick by a MMA student.
Reply:You're right. o say that ONE martial art is the best for all aspects of street fighting is wrong. Here is how I've answered the question in the past.
There are three stages of a real life fight that you have to consider. There is a different martial art that is good for each of these stages.
Stage 1 - Avoiding the attacker and ending the situation without an attack, only with defense.
Aikido - throws and locks designed to immobilize an opponent by using his weight and momentum against him.
Stage 2 - Defend and attack. Ending the situation by using blocks and attacks.
Karate - Uses blocking and attacking to end a situation by taking out the opponent before things get out of control.
Stage 3 - Ground Work. The fight gets out of your control and goes to the ground.
Brazilian Ju-Jitsu - There is no better ground fighting technique than Gracie BJJ. Lets you lock, hold and break opponent. Sort of like wrestling but without the rules.
There is one art that is supperior to all others in the hand to hand combat area (quick military kill, not street fighting) and that is Krav Maga.
Hope this answers your question.
Reply:People will almost always believe that the style they are taking is the best, otherwise, why would they be taking it. The truth of the matter is that there is not single style that is better or worse than any other style, it depends on the individual, and the instructor.
Personally, I studied JKD and found it to be very effective. But that is because JKD is not its own style like Karate, TKD, or Judo, but a blending of many different martial arts. JKD is more of a philosophy than a seperate martial art. Te philosophy is to learn as much as you can from any and every style and incorporate what works into creating your own unique fighting style.
It all depends on the type of person you are, where you are comfortable, and what your physical abilities will allow. For me, I am a big guy. Fancy kicks like those used in TKD are just not practical for me. On the other hand, I am fairly strong and have decent hand speed, so I incorporate alot of boxing and MT Kickboxing into my style.
Reply:I agree, I am also a black belt in TaeKwonDo and enjoy very much. People don't understand how effective TKD really is. But for all those people who say jujitsu or kungfu is the best, Their are people who take taekwondo after that stuff and say they didn't know any self defense until they started tkd.

The meaning of present martial arts has change?
Since guns are mainly used in battles, is there a usefulness in Martial Arts? I have background in martial arts, but I don't feel there is a need to practice them anymore. I just think it is overrated. What is the point? If someone comes up to me and pops one on my head, then where is the use of my skills? Don't give all that crap about self-defense or knowledge you gain from the arts to avoid the situation. Martial Arts were created for only one reason, to train people to fight and kill. Have almost all martial arts these days lost their ways? Maybe not, Muay Tai or some grappling arts stand out. Still, these arts are minor compare to the past Arts. Most martial artists used mixed martial arts and trained to handle similar styles that they would simply be able to get out of any grappling or straight fighting situations back then. Today, it became too commercialized that I wouldn’t be surprised when Japanese or Korean fighters lose matches against grappling or Tai fighters.Any thought?

You make some good points , however I am an American soldier . If my weapon malfunctions , I have to be able to defend myself with my hands . The way things are going in the world at this point in time , I think everyone should learn some self defense . I agree that some martial styles are stagnated , I blame this on teachers who want to be everyones friend not their instructor . ( there are some other reasons : too many to list actually) Some still practice the war arts , but most people practice self defense or sport fighting . Nothing wrong with that , after all some knowledge is better then none. Martial arts may be somewhat over rated , but does that render them totally useless ?No. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion .

I need help getting information about martial arts!!!?
I ONLY want answers from people who are experience and with knowledge about martial arts. One system that I need information about is called Mu-Gen Karate Do which is a hybrid system of martial arts. Its elements are Japanese martial arts, Korean martial arts, Chinese, Thai, and Philippine. So if anyone can give me some good information about any of those as far as what benefits u gain from it or any poplular techniques that you know about, please send me all the info you've got! Thanks!! :-)
I need help getting information about martial arts!!!?
I took a look at www.mugendojo.com. They've taken a bunch of martial arts and attempted to combine them. These martial arts are not the same and some are built upon different philosophies. You might end up getting a sample of each and a mastery of none.
Here's some info from one of my old answers:
Here's what I would do:
1. Get a sheet of paper and write down exactly what kinds of benefits you wish to obtain from studying karate/martial arts. It's a good idea to know exactly what you want to achieve.
2. Go to www.smartpages.com and look up MARTIAL ARTS INSTRUCTION in you city and state. It will tell you what martial arts are taught in your area and where the schools are located.
3. Once you know what martial arts are offered in your area look their definitions on the net. Note the similarities and differences between each. A good place to do that is www.wikipedia.com.
4. Visit the schools in your area. Ask for a free class. Make sure you find a Master Instructor who is overseen by a larger governing body.For example: Many Tae Kwon Do schools belong to the World Tae Kwon Do Federation. Verify your instructor's credentials.
5. Choose a martial art that lines up with your goals.
Some Martial Arts:
Tae Kwon Do and Karate will provide you with a great cardiovascular workout. They will also tone you. For the best results go to class around 4-5 days per week and at least 20-30 minutes a day at home to practice your moves.
Koei Kan and Isshin Ryu are two good styles of karate. You can also look up Kenpo.
The best thing about the Kung Fu styles is that they are usually "complete" systems meaning they cover stand up, ground, and weapons combat. Yu Chia is an interesting form of Shaolin Kung Fu.
Krav Maga, an Israeli style of self defense, is a superb physical workout. Around 4-5 days of Krav with transform your body. I've watched it happen. Fair warning! The workouts are intense! Take a look at Jennifer Lopez in the movie Enough. She's doing Karv Maga.
Hope this helps!
Reply:search in yahoo
and yes i am a blackbelt in karate and a 4th star in kungfu
Reply:I have over 10 years of martial arts experience in Kung Fu, but it may not be a matter of finding out the benefits of a particular style than it is about how it's taught. Many martial arts teachers today basically concentrate on teaching quantity vs quality to get students a belt and move them to then next level. On the one hand it may look good that your students are progressing, but if the students aren't performing at the level that they should then it seems the school is just there more for profit than for training. I'm not saying all school are like that.
I would recommend that you at least find out if you can get 1 or 2 lessons free and visit the school or schools and just see how the instructors teach. Any martial art you pick will provide good exercise and give you at least some basic self defense foundation.

3. Once you know what martial arts are offered in your area look their definitions on the net. Note the similarities and differences between each. A good place to do that is www.wikipedia.com.
4. Visit the schools in your area. Ask for a free class. Make sure you find a Master Instructor who is overseen by a larger governing body.For example: Many Tae Kwon Do schools belong to the World Tae Kwon Do Federation. Verify your instructor's credentials.
5. Choose a martial art that lines up with your goals.
Some Martial Arts:
Tae Kwon Do and Karate will provide you with a great cardiovascular workout. They will also tone you. For the best results go to class around 4-5 days per week and at least 20-30 minutes a day at home to practice your moves.
Koei Kan and Isshin Ryu are two good styles of karate. You can also look up Kenpo.
The best thing about the Kung Fu styles is that they are usually "complete" systems meaning they cover stand up, ground, and weapons combat. Yu Chia is an interesting form of Shaolin Kung Fu.
Krav Maga, an Israeli style of self defense, is a superb physical workout. Around 4-5 days of Krav with transform your body. I've watched it happen. Fair warning! The workouts are intense! Take a look at Jennifer Lopez in the movie Enough. She's doing Karv Maga.
Hope this helps!

and yes i am a blackbelt in karate and a 4th star in kungfu
Reply:I have over 10 years of martial arts experience in Kung Fu, but it may not be a matter of finding out the benefits of a particular style than it is about how it's taught. Many martial arts teachers today basically concentrate on teaching quantity vs quality to get students a belt and move them to then next level. On the one hand it may look good that your students are progressing, but if the students aren't performing at the level that they should then it seems the school is just there more for profit than for training. I'm not saying all school are like that.
I would recommend that you at least find out if you can get 1 or 2 lessons free and visit the school or schools and just see how the instructors teach. Any martial art you pick will provide good exercise and give you at least some basic self defense foundation.
What is the difference between Taekwondo and Karate. Are they both Korean martial arts?
Karate is Japanese and means Empty Hand.
Taekwondo is Korean and means Foot Fist Way.
You'll see more practical techniques taught in Karate than in Taekwondo. Taekwondo is more 'showy' with stylish kicking techniques. You'll usually see a lot of board breaking and stuff like that in a TKD demonstration although breaking techniques are taught in both styles. There are quite a few styles of Karate and also a couple of different styles of Taekwondo, although you mostly see the style seen in the Olympics i.e no hand techniques. Also, weapons are commonly taught in Karate but not in Taekwondo.

well actually user name is wrong i have been doing tkd for 3 years now and taekwondo does teach the use of weapon's and it doesn't mean foot fist way

Reply:Tae Kwon Do is Korean, Karate is Japanese. Karate has many different forms and is a general term. Karate is more disciplined from the accounts I have heard from from people who have done both.
Reply:I think karate might be japanese. Karate has more to do with the hands and Tae Kwon Doe is more with the feet.
Reply:Karate is not Korean Martial Arts.
Reply:Taekwondo is a Korean Martial art, it focuses on foot work(kicking); Karate is of Japanese origin, and it is a form of martial art that's based on the strength of arms and hands.
Reply:According to the Karate Kid movie Karate actually comes from China (under a different name) but the Japanese culture adopted it and over time has become karate as we know it. Taekwondo i really don't know that much about but wikipedia is a big help here
Reply:Other than the fact that they each come from a different country, there are many different kinds of karate. Some use plenty of high kicks and jumping. Some kick only below the belt. It depends on the style.
Reply:Tae Kwon Do is Korean.
Karate is Japanese.
Both employ strikes. TKD uses more foot techniques, Kararte about 1/2 %26amp; 1/2.
Tae Kwon Do is a highly disciplined Martial Art, at least if it is taught properly. Same for Karate.
Reply:Tae kwon do is korean it is a mixture of tae kyon , tang soo do , and japanese karate . Karate is actually originally from okinawa .
Reply:Taewando is a korean martial art...
Karate is from Japan and Okinawa
Reply:Karate is a Japenese martial art that uses hands as well as feet and holds. It teaches quite a rigid stance from what I have been told.
Taekwondo is Korean, and although it uses techniques taught from older martial arts of Korea (Tae Kyon) the modern sport was developed by a man name General Choi Hong Hi. General Choi spent much time in Japan learning karate and also Korea was under Japanese occupation during and following the war, hence many things are similar such as gradings, belt colour progression and other such traditions.
Taekwondo is a kicking martial art, although the ITF style also teaches the importance of the hands and teaches punches similar to kickboxing. We are taught holds despite what some people perceive, but this is purely for self defence purposes and are not allowed in tournaments. The philosophy behind Taekwondo is the leg and foot are the most powerful weapons the body has and also means that you stay the furthest away from your target and danger. Aside form this both styles can be considered quite similar. One thing to note is that Taekwondo teaches a more fluid motion in fighting. Karate tries to focus power but can make students quite rigid in their stances and punches. Taekwondo students are tuaght to relax more, while their stance is important in line work when it comes to sparring they should move around more and stay relaxed, making them more unpredictable.
Reply:Besides the other answers Tae Kwon Do is more circular and Karate is more linear. Karate (shotokan specifically) has very few spinning techniques, and very straight forward kicks, everything is well grounded and connected. Shotokan goes for the one blow disabling techniques, from what I can tell TKD has a few of those but not as many. Also, I’ll probably get flamed, but TKD shares some of it’s basic forms with Shotokan.
Reply:Karate is Japanese, TKD is korean. Both suck pretty hard in my opinion unless you find a school that trains them in reality! TKD you will never find this, its kinda sad. TKD is more circular? LOL what are you talking about? where do you guys get your information? ever seen circles in TKD sparring? its LINIAR!
Both are worthless.

Reply:Karate is Okinawan originally ( it is a mix of Kung Fu from China and Ti from Okinawa), the Japanese claimed it as their own upon seeing it . Karate developed in a country that was not allowed to have weapons so they were forced to study martial arts in secret.Pretty much everything I have researched points to TKD being developed from observations of Karate when Japan occupied Korea. This is why TKD has forms similar to Karate. Karate is much older than the more modern sport style known as TKD.
