Martial Arts have always influenced people to get into an
active life, but the question always lurks in mind – which form of martial art
system is the best. Each and every martial art instructor, as well as students
claims their form is unbeatable than others. Does that make sense? This
dominating nature of present martial artist has made the true essence of combat
system to go way behind. Hence, rather than getting involved into sports
fighting, it would be wise enough to learn some techniques of traditional
martial arts.
Which traditional martial
art is the good one?
The most popular and widely recognized forms of self defense
are Kungfu and Karate. These two styles are widely popular in the world, practiced
by millions of people of all ages and being admired for its powerful stances.
We all know that Kungfu is the mother of all martial arts
that was developed in China and from it karate came out. Both of these two
styles have low stances, focused more on using the gravitational forces and
create high power blocks, kicks and punches.
