I have a very strong upper body and a strong lower body. I would like to know kind of martial arts that I can join that will allow me to use 50% hand and 50% fight.|||Good answers so far.
The styles you should be looking for in that department would be certain styles of Kung Fu (It%26#039;s really that you try to use your whole body as a weapon), Tae Kwon Do (The ONLY style I%26#039;ve done with 50/50 hand/leg striking is Moo Duk Kwan, but there%26#039;s bound to be others [I%26#039;ve heard some good about Songham Tae Kwon Do, but I don%26#039;t know about the ratio actually]), Karate (The one that is really likely to be 50/50, but would still depend on the school/style), Kempo (Usually more hand striking than leg striking, but again: Search the school, and the style), and more. I would suggest Muay Thai too, but I don%26#039;t think that is 50/50 actually
Good luck.|||Any.|||Any form of Karate. Shotokan, Shorin Ryu, Kokushinkai. Any Karate style generally promotes a 50/50 split.
Where as TKD promotes a more 70/30 mix feet and hands.
Most important though, find a school with a good certified teacher who knows what they are doing. 50/50 or not, if they are a bad teacher you will not learn well.|||Akido.|||boxing|||Tae Kwon Do|||definitley tae kwon doe its also a great work out|||i dont know what you mean by 50% %26#039;fight%26#039; since you said strong lower body imma guess you mean foot/legs/kicks
lol i wouldnt think taekwondo would be 50/50 more like 20/80(hands/feets)
try looking into some form of kickboxing: muay thai, san shou, american(however american kickboxing fights tend to have a kicking requirement so they may favor kicks a lil more), also some karates are pretty good like kyokushin karate, and some kung fus like wing chun
sometimes it just depends on your teacher though. where i practice thai boxing we focus less on kicks but the place i used to train had a heavy emphasis on kicks|||50% fight? if you mean foot, then most types of kung fu. And lolz at the person who said tae kwon do...|||50-50 would be Okinowan or Japanese Karate-Do or SOUTHERN style Chinese Gong Fu.

Which country is the best in martial arts?
Real answers only please? In almost all kind of martial arts and with high quality teachers (grant master of martial arts)
Can you mention some of them for information and obviously what makes them great!? And how they attained that level? Can a normal person attain such a mark?|||japan and china are the best places to learn martial arts...
Qungfu, Tai Chi kind of deadly martial arts were born there only....|||European union is becoming a top contender, they just have to join up with Russia|||The last part of your question is ridiculous:
%26quot;Can a normal person attain such a mark?%26quot;
Obviously the grand masters WERE normal people before becoming grand masters. They weren%26#039;t born with any super powers or anything.

For real fighters, probably the Philippines, or Thailand.

Krav Maga is hardcore, no rules fighting. I don%26#039;t know if it truely qualifies as a martial art but I%26#039;d rather fight against someone using karate or kung fu than someone using Krav.
This brutal fighting method was developed around 60 years ago when Israel was fighting enemies on a daily basis and on a street by street basis. Their enemies didn%26#039;t just want their land, they wanted the Israeli people dead and gone (still do).

What is the best martial arts for me?
I%26#039;m looking for a martial art that is mostly punching and grappling. My knees aren%26#039;t in the best shape so kicks need to be minimal. I%26#039;m leaning towards krav maga or aikido, but I want advice from people with experience in different martial arts.
I have 2 years of experience in kyokushin karate, but that was 7 years ago and I%26#039;m looking for something different. I don%26#039;t plan to fight or compete. I don%26#039;t want to know what wins UFC. I just want the best art for myself.|||I%26#039;d comment on Krav Maga, but I have not knowledge of it directly. Aikido I do have knowledge of so I hope my comments are helpful.
First off I%26#039;d say forgive me, but I question whether you never really understood front snap kicks. I spent about 6 years trying to hyper-extend my knees thinking that was the source of the power. I did that from age 8 to age 14. By 16, I had gotten a better idea but ever since I was 14, every time I bend my knees, I can hear them crack. I feel for you.
That issue, like it is for you, was one of the reasons that after I quit at 16 (long story) then came back to martial arts at 27, I didn%26#039;t go back to Karate. I investigated all sorts of different schools in my area and was left with awe when I visited my current dojo.
In my case, its Aikido, but the style doesn%26#039;t matter so much - its the school. Aikido for example has all sorts of opportunities for injury when training - its just less self imposed through repetition as Karate. In AIkido, the injuries are immediate, accidental and in some way related to your partner.
That said, I%26#039;ll mention one example. We have a student in our dojo that used to be a western boxer. He had a hip replacement and will limp for the rest of his life. Does that stop him? Nope - he%26#039;s on the mat like everyone else and yes, people do adjust in the sense that he takes ukemi a little different than everyone else but so what, he%26#039;s doing what he needs to do to keep himself safe - his physical issues simply dictate a difference as to what he needs to do and that by nature changes how technique needs to be performed to be effective.
I consider it to be a great learning tool to be forced to adjust. I also appreciate him pointing out openings (with a light pop to the ribs or whatever) I didn%26#039;t protect when he sees them.
I%26#039;d worry less about a specific style than I would about %26#039;hard%26#039; vs. %26#039;soft%26#039; and %26#039;linear%26#039; vs. %26#039;circular%26#039;. Rather, I%26#039;d visit as many dojos as I could and compare what your knees can handle vs. what the class is like... at that dojo.
Last comment... Aikido involves two types of situations that might not be acceptable for your knees. Suwari Waza - defense in Seiza from an attack from Seiza - and Hanmi Handachi - defense in Seiza from a standing attack. Seiza is all over the place in Aikido - if for no other reason that you will be sitting in it while Sensei is demonstrating, at the beginning and at the end of class.
On the other hand, I%26#039;m in the same boat as you and I%26#039;ve not had a problem with it.
There is no way around it really - to learn to protect and keep your body intact, you end up having to harm it. If you don%26#039;t, you aren%26#039;t learning as much as you can, it you do, you will pay the price over time. Ideally, it shouldn%26#039;t be that way, be we are human and we aren%26#039;t perfect.
Its not the styles we practice, its us that causes an injury we get - be it immediate or repetitive impact/stress related.
Edit - yupchagee - I%26#039;d say that in my experience, around half of the formal curiculum in my dojo at least are throws. Jiyu Waza could result in anything, but Randori definatelly has more throws than pins - when you are dealing with multiple attackers, to pin someone is to pin yourself and make defense against the other people trying to kick you in the head more difficult.
I also disagree with the idea that the throws are stressful on the knees. If anything, they are stressful on upper body joints when the throw is forced, but not on the knees.
The knees come into play when you are doing technique from a kneeling position. Then they get damaged due to repetition rather than stress in a given instance.
Not an absolute rule or course, but a decent generality in my experience.|||Krav Maga uses a lot of knee strikes. Probably not a good idea with bad knees. My guess is Aikido or Hapkido, which are grappling styles that mostly use joint manipulation rather than throws. Throws are likely to put more strain on your knees.|||jujitsu or pankration.|||I think both the styles you are considering will still be tough on your knees, Aikido is heavier use on the knees say than Aikijujitsu its for father or Ju Jitsu. Other styles you may consider are Judo where you are using your opponents body weight against them and less of your own. Maybe Tai Chi, now many will say Tai Chi is not for fighting, that is more or less correct, but it is GREAT for self defense once you have spent years studying it, you will move like the wind and never be touched. This will take a near life time to learn unfortunately but is great health for your body and knees mixed with Qui Qong or Reiki.
I would stay away from most the external arts for your knees and more of your body%26#039;s sake. I was a full contact fighter for years and in the end have hurt my body badly from all the external Ki I have used and have not counter balanced with internal Ki. That is why I personaly wish to learn Tai Chi and qu Qong together to focus that internal Ki (Chi) to heal the damage I caused with external.
I hope this helps you decide on a direction, when it comes straight down to it the style will only matter if the teacher is able to teach it well so you can understand it. All styles are equal, practioners differentiate.|||I%26#039;d do either muy thai or jujitsu.

Are there any martial arts that involve grabbing a person and forcing them against something hard?
It%26#039;s hard to describe, but my problem is that I%26#039;m kind of weak when it comes to punching or kicking someone.

How to improve my performance in martial arts?
I%26#039;ve noticed lately that I can%26#039;t really kick high and strong enough when I%26#039;m practicing martial arts, maybe because my leg flexibility is very poor.
So I%26#039;d like to know how to improve this. Should I just focus on doing stretches every day? Is there any other exercise I should do?|||First stretch, then stretch even more by swinging ( not kicking ) your leg up as high as you can. It may hurt but its good. Now try kick and only try high kicks fast and swiftly without tripping or falling down.
Once you do that stretch one more time (not that much)
You should be able to kick higher but remember to kick swiftly, not doing so will just make it weak and will also may make you lose your balance.|||I had this problem. I would stretch in the morning when I woke up, then practice my technique, then stretch when I was finished. This is because after you work out, your muscles contract, so you need to stretch again. Also, practice your teechnique, speed can only come once you have the technique correct and have enough flexibility and strength. Hold onto a wall, and practice your technique. In a side kick, I would hold onto a wall, chamber, then stick, chamber, stick, chamber, etc. Also do this while kicking above something like the back of a chair or desk to make sure you don%26#039;t cheat yourself and don%26#039;t chamber before you put your foot down.

Good Mornings, Deadlifts and Hamstring Curls are great exercise for the hamstring ( Flexible hamstring is the best way to improve the High kick and the front Splits.)|||in tournaments and kumite a kick at the high of the stomach is perfectly valid.
i would focus on strength and putting your hip into it more, by pivoting on your supporting foot, kicking through the target.
also stretch a lot|||for higher kicks you need to be flexible i can do splits and its very useful to be flexible and for power check and see how your form is you maybe doing it wrong
What is the name of that martial arts technique that you jump to your feet from the floor?
I%26#039;ve seen this technique in many martial arts movies. I take Choy Lay Fut kung fu and wish to learn it. If any of you know what it is called, please tell me :D
and if you know how to perform it, please give me some tips :D|||Americanized from? Because it sure isn%26#039;t the Chinese term (liyudating). %26quot;Kipping%26quot; is a gymnastics term. The short name is %26quot;kip-up%26quot;, also called a %26quot;kick up%26quot;, %26quot;skip up%26quot;, %26quot;kick-to-stand%26quot; or %26quot;that martial arts technique that you jump to your feet from the floor%26quot;.
Have a strong core. Without a strong core, you%26#039;ll not be able to bring yourself up. Lie on the floor. Roll back onto your shoulders and pull your knees to your chest as you breathe in. Exhale and shove your feet up. As soon as you feel a lightness on your shoulders, arc your feet back down to the ground, almost where your butt was, and drive them down into the ground to force your hips up to standing position.|||%26quot;Kippup%26quot;, alternatively, the americanized name is %26quot;kick up%26quot;
Edit. stslavik, I said americanized name, not form; big difference. Go ahead and nit pick other people%26#039;s answer though if it makes you feel like a big man;)
In addition to stslavik%26#039;s guide, i recommend placing your hands on the ground above your head to add a little push off ability. This isn%26#039;t necessary once you get a hang of the technique but it does make it easier.
Also, I suggest kicking out at an imagined angle of about 45-60 degrees. Kick out too high and you don%26#039;t get enough forward momentum to right yourself. Kick out too far and you don%26#039;t get enough height to allow you to tuck your feet under yourself.|||its called a kip up

What type of martial arts should a police officer learn?
I am currently in college to become a police officer and i wanted to learn some style of fighting outside of the academy. My friend who is a part time teacher says that i shouldn%26#039;t do tai kwon do because that is easily blockable. What would be a type of martial arts i should study that is offered at classes.|||Ju-Jitsu, it is, in my opinion, the best there, especially for a police officer, law enforcer, and using violence only to fight violence when nessescary, Ju-Jitsu offers the best non-violent form of martial arts.. Twisting, immobilising and detaining your opponent, and possible with mininum damage but considerable pain.|||Most techniques in striking arts wouldn%26#039;t be allowed by police departments for officer use .
Best choices JUDO JUJUTSU AIKIDO or just good old fashioned wrestling.99% of altercations between officers and suspects end up being a wrestling match .|||If I were you I would look at a martial art that uses pressure points. Look up Dillman Karate International on the web, there is likely an affiliated school near you.|||jiu jitsu and judo imo|||You should consider Hapkido, It is a very rounded art covering all phases of combat be it striking, throwing, grappling,joint locking, and pressure points.
A good Hapkido instructor will teach you principles of movement and not just technique. You%26#039;ll learn to be instinctive, reactive and adaptive to what ever the situation calls for. In law-enforcment you%26#039;ll need to learn when to escalate and descalate uses of force. Hapkido training will teach you that. I%26#039;ve trained in Karate for 5 yrs prior to starting in law-enforcement, but it was nothing but striking. I learned very fast that I needed to find an art that coverd more phases of combat that would also reduce liability. I%26#039;ve been training Hapkido for the last 10 yrs and wouldnt training in anything else. Hapkido is taught around the world and used by many agencies. Good luck|||When it comes to physical defense, a police officer must be able to do two things.
One is subdue another person while infliciting as little damage to that person as possible.
The best martial art for this is old fashioned Judo; which focuses on re-directing your opponants energy and rendering them incapacitated and unable to attack.
The other thing they may need to do is take out someone fast and effective, damage not being relevant.
The best martial art for this is Jeet-Kun-Do; which focuses on fast, simple, and devastatingly effective means to destroy or eliminate your opponant.|||brazilian jiu-jitsu

Good hand/arm locks and throws.|||Jiu jitsu / mixed martial arts would be best but go to a good dojo to learn it and don%26#039;t stop going, I have a couple black belts in a few different styles of jiu jitsu, and I%26#039;m so sorry but when I watch cops on tv I just laugh, it takes 6-8 cops to put a guy in handcuffs hahaha, that would not happen if they knew what they were doing, let me do it I%26#039;ll bet he will be more than willing to give me his other arm. I do study mixed martial arts and I would think a policeman who protects the community should be able to protect himself in all four ranges of combat, so don%26#039;t rule out tae kwon do, karate, brazilian ju jitsu ect, hope I was some help. good luck with your career.|||i agree with lmn78744, you should take up judo, judo is ment to take down the other person, and all the other martial arts is inflicting damage. i wouldnt advise jiu jitsu because jiujitsu is rolling around with the other person to get them into a lock, submission, or choke, you dont want that, especially with all that crap on your belt, the other guy might try to grab something like your gun. In judo one quick sweep, and youve dropped the person, enabling you to cuff him or something.

A street cop has to be concerned with dealing with the common dummy, and so needs to be able to use a more non-violent approach. Whereas a Swat member needs to be more qualified in quick and lethal force. To train to be lethal to a common cop is a sentence to him/her as they will face lawsuit after lawsuit, whereas a swat member%26#039;s life or anothers or a citizen%26#039;s can be saved by the use of lethal force. So differing approachs within the same force.
