Martial Art is the only sport that I am interested in. I learn Karate, Tae-kwondo and Aikido before
for the past 12 years.
True karate is this: that in daily life one's mind
and body be trained and developed in a spirit of humility, and that in critical
times, one be devoted utterly to the cause of justice." -- Gichin
Funakoshi. Karate can
also be described as a martial art, or fighting method, involving a variety of
techniques, including blocks, strikes, evasions, throws, and joint
manipulations. Karate practice is divided into three aspects: kihon (basics),
kata (forms), and kumite (sparring).
Taekwon
Do is the training
and techniques of unarmed combat for self-defence as well as health. It
involves the skilled application of punches, kicks, blocks and dodges with bare
hands and feet for the rapid destruction of a moving opponent or opponents.
Aikido is a Martial art that emphasizes blending with the
attacker, rather than confronting the attacker with hard techniques such as
punches and kicks.
Many people asked me, which martial art is the best among
the three?
My answer is “All martial arts are having its special skills
and strength, whether which one is the best not depending on the martial
itself, is depending on how expert and professional you are”
All martial arts emphasize in 3 common things … speed, skills and application.
In my personal opinion, beside all the abovementioned,
psychology and mental training is the most important in martial arts ...
