Would you list down the martial arts of each country for me, please?

Question

Not the different styles of martial arts of a coutry, you know, like Japan has different style of Karate and China has many styles of Kung Fu. Just the martial art. Please and thank you!

I just want to see the background of the country through the list you'll hopefully post. So, that I'll know if the country is gritty, and dangerous or is it full of rich people. Because somehow, the more violent a country is, the more violent their martial art is. Like the Krav Maga of Israel.

Answer 1

mm, interesting. I can tell you about Korea. I study k*k Sool Won. Its a comprehensive system of all the arts of Korea put together to form one. So  its a lot of joint locks of Hapkido, kicks like that of Tae Kwon Do, and the weaponry of Mu Sool, which was once the study of the Royal Court which they used to defend the country. Then inner peace and internal breathing exercises of the Buddist Monks of KOrea are brought in to harmonise the art as to prevent or try and deter bullying. There is a lot of angry, lethal moves that were used thousands of years ago against the Japanese who invaded Korea. The style of Judo (Japanese) has a lot of grabbing so we have a lot of anti grabbing tecniques too. I could go on and on about the history of our style but i just wanted to give a brief history for you.

Answer 2

Wow, that's a lot. There are Hundreds of martial arts, but I'll try my best.

Japan- Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu (Ninjutsu), Karate-do, Ju-do, Ju Jitsu, Aiki-do, Sumo-do, Ken-do, and many more.

Korea- Hapkido, Tae Kwon Do (many different  forms such as Chung Do Kwan, Tang Soo Do, etc.)

Answer 3

Do your own homework.

Answer 4

Martial arts has it's origins in India and China.

There's a legend of a man called Bodhidharma who came to China from India and taught the monks of the Shaolin temple special exercises and their first system of martial arts.

Basically, you can break it down like this.

China - Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Chi Gung, Chin Na

Japan - Jujutsu, Sumo, Taijutsu, Kendo

Okinawa - Karate, Kobudo

Thailand - Muay Thai

Philippines - Kali, Silat

Israel - Krav Maga

Greece - Pankration

Brazil - Capoeira, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Korea - Hwa Rang Do, Tae Kwon Do, Tang Soo Do

France - Savate

America - Jeet Kune Do

Just a note though. Israel does have it's fair share of proverbial **** hitting the fan, but Krav Maga is a military system designed for military application. I don't really know if it reflects the country. Hope that helps.

Answer 7

What you are asking for can only be answered whit some of the arts, not all of them.   I've been seriously involved in the study, practice, history, ...etc. of the martial arts since 1967. Every time I think

I've heard it all a new martial art becomes popular.

Answer 8

France also has La Canne (along with Savate)

England - Boxing, Wrestling (several forms,) Bartitsu.

Modern La Canne is French but I believe that it originated in Switzerland (Pierre Vigny was Swiss anyway.)

Answer 9

You have got to be kidding me.

These martial arts were often created hundreds of years ago.  That has no bearing WHATSOEVER on what the country is like now.

Answer 10

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_art...

That's a watered down list and gist for history of many styles and their places of origin. It takes a lot of hard work to research the many different styles and their backgrounds. If you're interested in the violence aspect of the art you have to find a particular individual in each system.

There are many systems that have watered down the true techniques and thusly made their styles more for sport. Though if you find that one individual you will see that the art is very violent.

Edit- This has my answer for another post on history I would suggest you read it as it gives the real historical (not extensively detailed) explanation.

Answer 11

There are more art forms than there are religions on the earth.  Such a list would be impossible.  Especially in Asian countries were small towns and single families have martial arts named after them.  Not to mention every type of system out there floating around in the U.S. developed by ex-military personnel, street fighter types and martial arts practitioners from every walk of life.

Any one who gave you such a list would have to cut thousands of art forms out of their list to even make one up, does that mean that their list would be accurate? No it doesn't.  If anything it flies in the face of the truth at best.
