KungFu vs Karate vs Taekwondo

In today's video, we would be looking at the differences between Kung Fu, Karate, and Taekwondo. Martial arts has become a very exciting sport because it is excellent for your physical and mental health. But mostly because you learn how to defend yourself. Thanks to martial arts actors like Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Bruce Lee, so many people are more aware of the art. And some have taken a keen interest in it.

Really appreciate how they go over the arts respective strengths without downplaying any of them. Helps avoid the trap of which is better, since its more of a paper rock scissors thing in my experience.

It would be interesting to see arts like Muay Thai, Silat and Eskrima added in these sorts of videos as well as Judo, Jiu Jitsu etc

[@kaeso17]

As far as I know, taekwondo could be practiced in many different ways. Choose your club wisely. You can practice sportiv form, wich emphasis on combat and making quick kicks, balance, stamina, stance... for scoring. You can practice traditional way, which emphasis on poomse, philosophy, lifestyle, attitude... You can practice for representation where you have to be flexible, quick, perfect execution... And there is probably lots of other way to practice, and you probably mix them. I've seen clubs where they focus on combat, others where it's like a gym-taekwondo club. There's no such thing as "a pure practice". But there's fantasy around what martial arts are.

[@waynetom9022]

The speaker has some good insight about the conceptual differences in the different martial arts.

[@stefantodorovic1439]

It depends on the fighter in karate they are teaching you how to avoid critical hits and how to be less damaged during the fight. If you are fighting 3 dudes of course that someone will land a hit on you but you can avoid that and be less damaged.

The swiftness of Kung-fu, the endurable body of Karate, the power and speed of Taekwondo, those three will make you as a human weapon. You won't give a chance to enemy even if it's 1vs2 But better run if it's 1vs3 or if opposite has weapon and you are bare hand.

[@mactherealestateman]

Let me help you: Kara-te Jitsu (Tou-Di Jutsu) was formed in Okinawa and was also heavily Chinese influenced. It's over 900 years old. The father of modern Kara-te is Ankoh Itousu. Gichin Funakoshi was a junior student of his when he was sent to Japan around 1924. The Japanese urged him to alter what he did to fit into their xenophobic culture, essentially eliminating many of the original techniques and even changing the names of the Katas, as there were still longstanding hostilities between Japan and China. Go Ju Ryu (Naha-Te), Shorin Ryu (Shuri-te), and Matsumura Orthodox (Tomari-Te) are their main 3 systems. The original names were the names of the capitol cities of the 3 kingdoms of Okinawa before they were unified by King Sho Hashi. The movements are more circular and flowing as compared to their Japanese descendants: Shotokan, Shoinkan, Kyukoshin, etc, their movements have lower stances, and are much more linear and rigid, but still effective.

[@lasvegascity]

But was it 'heavily' Chinese influenced? I mean the early form of Wushu didn't even have side kicks and back kicks. If you are talking about influence French Savate influenced Karate the most.

[@nathanelliasin8739]

I've seen that Kung fu is more professional and effective than the others bcoz they trained as military and more useful for fighting, but the important things in kung fu is self dicipline, so this is Martial art most advanced in the world. We also love to taekwando and karate for the self defense. Here we know the weakness of kungfu 1. bored when if not hard to train 2. Student 3.Long range fighting 4. Tired 5. flexible body 6.pain 7. Dangerous train 8. Remembering all that skills. All self-defence is better as kung fu, taekwando and karate. All is good martial arts.👍👍👍👍👍

When you get into an actual fight. Its Karate and Judo that are used for self defense. Kung Fu is used for kata exercise and Tae Kwon Do is for kicking exercise. 😊😊😊😊

[@mainakdas4272]

Lol. I disagree. I have seen many karate fighter (shotokan and kyokushin) getting beaten up by me before i started tkd. Nothing is superior. All are the same. Its all about the technique u use

[@lasvegascity]

If you are talking of the practicality in general your state might be right to some point, but when it comes down to mma tkd's turning hook kick and airborne kicks could be quite useful as trick shots in some cases like when your leg's caught in mid-air for example. Every martial art has its own use.

[@yuenhai]

From those three I would say taekwondo is least effective for self defense because of too much kicking. Whenever you throw a kick you risk going off balance.

[@suemmusic]

Kung Fu is not a word that refers to a single martial art. It literally translates to "Practice" in Chinese, and refers to hundreds of ancient Chinese martial arts of all kinds. The founder of Taekwondo was a Korean karate practitioner, and the founder of karate was a Ryukyuan kung-fu practitioner.

[@gonskie]

Karate is superior. The arm is hardened that any part of the opponents body hit by that arm is like being hit by a dos por dos.

[@RasikRajguru]

Each technique has it's strengths and weaknesses. It is all a matter of personal preference. In a nutshell the main differences between these 3 techniques. Kung fu is fluid like fast or slow flowing water depending the technique hard or soft. Tiger, Eagle's Claw are Hard style hard style examples. Tai Chi Ch'uan and Wing shun are soft. While Karate are more rigid and robotic. And Tae Kwon Do is somewhere between the two with more emphasis on foot and aerial work.

[@lasvegascity]

@@mainakdas4272 You know Choi Hong Hi isn't the only founder of tkd right? What I said was based on the interviews of the founders of tkd Lee Jun Gu, Lee Jong Woo, and the book written by Lee Chang Hoo. Chinese Kungfu wasn't mentioned throughout, and to the interviewer asking if the basic skills of tkd were based on Taekkyeon they made it clear all kicks they have taught in the beginning were 'Karate kicks'. There might have some founders who practiced Kungfu, but that doesn't make tkd the 'direct derivative of Kungfu' just like we don't call it a direct derivative of Taekkyeon. The fact tkd is a direct derivative of Karate is stated in WTF and ITF associations' official comments.

The strongest martial art is professional wrestling, followed by kickboxing. Compared to those, the ones introduced here are just for fun.

[@derrickcox7761]

The most advanced martial art is Jeet Kune Do. It can incorporate all three, however, it also requires the most dedication and a lot of personal trial and error. Elements of it are banned in most competitions of the other forms, but if you want to survive the streets, it is the best. The other determinants are simply how good, strong, fast, flexible, and coordinated, your body is, and how controlled and smart your mind is.

[@kenfox22]

TKD is superior in kicking, but lacks extensive hand fighting

[@t-2892]

Karate means "Chinese hand", not "empty hand". "Kara" means Chinese that come from Tong Dynasty. Tong Dynasty gave huge effect in many fields of administration systems including taxation and culture to Japan around the 8-9 centries. After the collapse of the Dynasty, Japanese people continued to call many subsequent chinese dynasties "Tong" which sound is "Kara" in Japanese pronunciation. Why so many people believe Kara means "empty"? The reason why Master Funakoshi choosed a chiese character ”emptiness” in Buddhism that has many important meanings and the Japanese pronunciation is same "Kara". You need the knowledge of chiese character background to understand what I write. Again, I stress if you think Karate means "empty hand", it is quite superficial understanding or believe wrong information.

[@arda_gozutok]

Not wushu is a subbranch of kung fu. Wushu means martial art. Kung Fu means skill, craft. So both can be used interchangeably.

[@Capo51]

These comparisons btw different fighting styles are useless. There are too many variables in the equitation. All have strengths - and weaknesses too. So all depends... So just light entertainment.
