我练过七星螳螂拳, 觉得够快够狠, 进也打, 退也打,真奥妙,可是近打部分就不好使了...
我学过太极拳...够柔够劲, 四两拨千斤, 再大的力道也能化解, 就可惜对手太快时就用不上了...
我学过少林拳...够准够力, 无坚不摧, 只要遇上对手, 就是打不放, 可是在阳刚都好. 体力也会有耗尽的一天...
我学过跆拳道, 拳打脚踢, 非常实际, 就不知为什么, 遇上好打近身战的人, 我就束手无策了...
我想学咏春拳, 可是发现原来咏春遇上远打高手, 就完蛋了...
终于我发现, 最好的拳术, 不是在于谁能化解谁, 而是在于谁的造诣较高, 最重要, 手够硬, 脚够快, 要够力, 眼够明, 耳够灵...
武术 的 武 字 其实是两个字组合而成的, 他们就是 "止""戈", 也就是停止战争的意思...练武术, 要修武德, 点到为止, 千万不可致人于死地, 不可争强好胜, 不能争勇斗武, 打打杀杀, 侮辱了武术的崇尚品德, 每次去观赛, 看到练跆拳道的朋友, 会因为输给对方,痛骂污语, 没有教养, 有些人输了还会坚强的祝福对方, 好有体育精神, 更惨的是有些人以为自己很好打, 天天到处炫耀, 可谓" 出生之牛不怕虎 " 还没遇上真正的高手就自夸自擂...
哈哈, 不是说我要针对那些人, 就好像每次去补习, 看到有一群bagan jaya的跆拳道, 空手道 的师兄们, 都喜欢用眼睛瞪人, 有些还不识货, 问起来, 原来他们是红带大哥, 我是黑带小子, 哈哈.....有时候, 有些人以为自己是能打, 敢敢去惹黑道, 他们没想到后果...你能一对三, 可是能一对十吗? 能对枪吗? 哈哈, 冲动的勇敢, 叫有勇, 冲动的没想, 叫无谋...就是有勇无谋....
Karate (空手), is a martial art developed in the Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa) from indigenous fighting methods te (手, literally: "hand") and Chinese kenpō.[1][2] Karate is characterised as a striking art using punching, kicking, knee and elbow strikes and open-handed techniques such as knife-hands (karate chop). Grappling, locks, restraints, throws, and vital point strikes are taught in some styles.
Karate developed in the Ryukyu Kingdom prior to its 19th century annexation by Japan. It was brought to the Japanese mainland in the early 20th century during a time of cultural exchanges between the Japanese and the Ryukyuans. In 1922 the Japanese Ministry of Education invited Gichin Funakoshi to Tokyo to give a karate demonstration. Keio University became the first Japanese university to open a dojo; by 1932, all Japanese universities had dojo. In this era, the name karate (wikt:唐手Chinese hand) was changed to karate (wikt:空手, empty hand) to indicate that the Japanese wished to develop the combat form in Japanese style. After the second world war, Okinawa became an important United States military site and karate became popular among servicemen stationed there.
The martial arts movies of the 1960s and 1970s served to greatly increase its popularity, and the word karate began to be used in a generic way to refer to all striking-based Oriental martial arts. Karate schools began appearing across the world, catering to those with casual interest as well as those seeking a deeper study of the art.
Shigeru Egami, Chief Instructor of Shotokan Dojo, opined "that the majority of followers of karate in overseas countries pursue karate only for its fighting techniques...Movies and television...depict karate as a mysterious way of fighting capable of causing death or injury with a single blow...the mass media present a pseudo art far from the real thing." Shoshin Nagamine said "Karate may be considered as the conflict within oneself or as a life-long marathon which can be won only through self-discipline, hard training and one's own creative efforts."
For many practitioners, karate is a deeply philosophical practice. Karate-do teaches ethical principles and can have spiritual significance to its adherents. Gichin Funakoshi ("Father of Modern Karate") titled his autobiography Karate-Do: My Way of Life in recognition of the transforming nature of karate study.
Today karate is practiced for self-perfection, for cultural reasons, for self-defense and as a sport. In 2005, in the 117th IOC (International Olympic Committee) voting, karate did not receive the necessary two thirds majority vote to become an Olympic sport. Web Japan (sponsored by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs) claims there are 23 million karate practitioners worldwide. A karate practitioner is called a karateka.
Taekwondo is a Korean martial art and the national sport of South Korea. It is the world's most popular martial art in terms of the number of practitioners. Gyeorugi, a type of sparring, has been an Olympic event since 2000.
In Korean, tae 跆 means "to strike or break with foot"; kwon 拳 means "to strike or break with fist"; and do 道 means "way" or "method"; so "taekwondo" is loosely translated as "the way of the foot and fist" or "the way of kicking and punching".
Taekwondo's popularity has resulted in the varied development of the martial art into several domains: as with many other arts, it combines combat techniques, self-defense, sport, exercise, meditation and philosophy. Taekwondo is also used by the South Korean military as part of its training.
Formally, there are two main styles of taekwondo. One comes from the Kukkiwon, the source of the sparring system sihap gyeorugi which is now an event at the summer Olympic Games and which is governed by the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF). The other comes from the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF). There is also a more recent form called Songham Taekwondo or the American Taekwondo Association (ATA) and other variations of it such as STF (Songham Taekwondo Federation) and WTTU (World Traditional Taekwondo Union).[3]
Separate from the various taekwondo organizations, there have been two general branches of taekwondo development: traditional and sport. The term "traditional taekwondo" typically refers to the martial art as it was established in the 1950s and 1960s; in particular, the names and symbolism of the traditional patterns often refer to elements of Korean history. Sport taekwondo has evolved in the decades since then and has a somewhat different focus, especially in terms of its emphasis on speed and competition (as in Olympic sparring), whereas traditional taekwondo tends to emphasize power and self-defense. The two are not mutually exclusive, and the distinctions between them are often blurred.
Although there are doctrinal and technical differences between the two main styles and among the various organizations, the art in general emphasizes kicks thrown from a mobile stance, employing the leg's greater reach and power (compared to the arm). The greatest difference between various styles, or at least the most obvious, is generally accepted to be the differing styles and rules of sport and competition. Taekwondo training generally includes a system of blocks, kicks, punches, and open-handed strikes and may also include various take-downs or sweeps, throws, and joint locks. Some taekwondo instructors also incorporate the use of pressure points, known as jiapsul, as well as grabbing self-defense techniques borrowed from other martial arts, such as Hapkido and Judo.
