China, the main martial arts in European countries-
Jeet Kune Do: The martial arts created by Bruce Lee is famous for its fighting concept of "regarding the impossible as the law and taking the infinite as the limit".
Based on his Wing Chun Boxing, Bruce Lee absorbed the essence of martial arts from boxing, western fencing, karate, taekwondo and China, and established this unique system (it is said that Jeet Kune Do contains the essence of 26 kinds of martial arts). The so-called "interception boxing" is to intercept and knock down the opponent quickly and directly before the opponent finishes the attack, which also embodies the fighting concept of Jeet Kune Do: simplicity.
Someone once asked Bruce Lee, what is the most representative of Jeet Kune Do? He replied: it was the trick he used to crack the opponent's anti-joint with his teeth in Jingwumen.
Therefore, Jeet Kune Do can be said to be a martial art with the sole purpose of knocking down opponents.
Japan-
Sumo: the oldest martial art in Japan.
According to ancient Japanese documents, the history of sumo can even be traced back to BC. Of course, the history of any country is exaggerated, but what is certain is that after the "Dahua Innovation" in the seventh century, Japanese began to have sumo, which probably originated from the court wrestling and wrestling games in the Tang Dynasty in China. Sumo was originally an aristocratic sport that only the royal family could watch. Sumo wrestlers enjoy a high status in society. The earliest sumo was not a pure competition between two fat people, but a lot of wrestling, joint skills and even kicking.
Kendo: A martial art based on mountain fighting.
/kloc-During the Meiji Restoration in the 9th century, because the traditional martial arts with swords often disturbed social order, Japan consciously standardized martial arts and developed towards sports.
The original real sword bucket was replaced by bamboo sword, and with the protection of protective gear, modern kendo was formed.
Judo: A martial art that appeared at the end of 19.
The predecessor of Judo is Jiu Jitsu (a martial art that spread in Japan during the Warring States Period, with many schools, mainly including throwing, holding, ground pressure and keystroke).
Jana Jgoroh, the founder of judo, studied many schools of jujitsu, and later founded "Kodokan" by herself, which combined the spiritual ascent and descent (mainly grasping and suppressing the ground) with the spiritual ascent and descent (mainly wrestling) in jujitsu to become modern judo.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Japanese Police Department (police headquarters) held the A Jiu Jiu Jitsu Competition, and decided to choose the school that won the competition as the standard training martial arts for Japanese police. As a result, the Judo Hall in Jgoroh, Ghana won a great victory and became famous for a while. With being selected as the standard martial arts for the police, it has made great progress and replaced Jiu Jitsu as the orthodox Japanese martial arts.
However, many traditional jujitsu schools still exist today.
Aikido: Wushu, which is famous for its breathing and femininity, also originated from Jiu Jitsu.
Zhi Zhi Shengping, the founder, has studied a branch of Jiu Jitsu-"Big Dong Liu and Qi Jiu Jitsu", which is different from general Jiu Jitsu and closer to China's Neijia Boxing, emphasizing both rigidity and softness.
Later, based on Dadongliu, Ueda absorbed the advantages of other schools and founded Aikido Jiu Jitsu, which was later renamed Aikido.
Karate: A martial art that focuses on kicking and hitting. It can be said that it is foreign martial arts from Japan, from Okinawa (Ryukyu).
In ancient times, many people from southern China crossed the sea to Ryukyu and taught some foreign boxing techniques from China to the local people. Due to the long-term control of weapons in the ancient Ryukyu Dynasty, the art of unarmed combat developed greatly, and schools such as "Na Ba Hand" and "Hand in Hand" appeared.
But it was not until the19th century that Ryukyu Wushu spread to Japan. At the beginning of the 20th century, Funakoshi Gichin, known as the father of karate, performed karate skills in Tokyo. Since then, this kind of martial arts has become popular in Japan. At that time, it was called "Tang Shou", a martial art from China. After World War I, the Japanese took its homonym and renamed it "karate"
Korea-
Taekwondo: Korea's national sport.
Koreans claim that Taekwondo originated from "Taekwondo" in ancient Korea, but actually Taekwondo can be said to originate from karate.
During the period when Korea was ruled by Japan, many Koreans went to Japan to learn skills. One of them, General Cui Hongxi, studied Songtao Liu karate in Japan and got a second black belt. After World War II, he returned to Korea and founded Taekwondo on the basis of karate, combining some techniques of ancient Korean martial arts and China martial arts.
Taekwondo is famous for its gorgeous kicking and flexible footwork, and it is also the second oriental martial arts event to enter the Olympic Games (the first is judo).
Aikido in Korea: The martial arts founded by Korean Cui Yongshu, whose specific origin is unknown, should be related to Japanese Aikido.
The technology of Aikido in Korea is more comprehensive than that in Japan, such as kicking and hitting, as well as special breathing exercises (Qigong).
Cui Yongshu introduced this kind of aikido to the United States in the 1950' s, and once became a fighting skill practiced by American elite "green berets".
Thailand-
Muay Thai: An ancient fighting art in Thailand.
Probably originated in China in the Tang Dynasty and spread to Indochina Peninsula. After a long period of development, it has become a martial art famous for its fierceness and violence.
Thailand is located in Indo-China Peninsula, with many nationalities and convenient transportation, and Wushu is often exchanged with other nationalities. Therefore, Muay Thai also absorbs the characteristics of martial arts in other countries. It is said that the French kicking method "Kicking" originated from Muay Thai.
The challenge of Muay Thai has gone through three stages: unarmed, tangled and knuckled. After the introduction of western boxing in the 20th century, Muay Thai also adopted gloves, but the combination of "fist, foot, elbow and knee" is still a unique game rule, which makes Muay Thai one of the best in the world, especially the use of elbow and knee, which is the characteristic of Muay Thai.
Myanmar-
Myanmar Boxing: Also known as "Bindao", because Myanmar borders Thailand and Myanmar boxers often communicate with Thai boxers, the technique is very similar to that of Muay Thai.
It's just that Burmese boxing is not as challenging as Thai boxing, and it still retains many traditional gorgeous moves.
Philippines-
Cali Wushu in the Philippines: There are many martial arts schools in the Philippines, which are characterized by few pure unarmed combat, mostly combined with short sticks or knives, and rarely encounter technical difficulties. They avoid reality and make a false impression. They flash past their opponents with clever and strange movements and then fight back (called "action power" in Philippine martial arts).
Bruce Lee's great disciple Yilusan is a Filipino martial arts master. He is the man who holds two short sticks (Philippine wands) in the game of death, and Bruce Lee also absorbs the short stick technique of Philippine martial arts.
Because short knives and clubs are common hand-to-hand combat weapons used by military police in various countries, Philippine Wushu has also been widely studied by military police in various countries.
Indonesia-
Silat Wushu: traditional Indonesian Wushu.
I don't know the details. It is said that it is similar to China's southern boxing. Due to the narrow terrain in Indonesia, it is not suitable for fighting in a big way, so Indonesian Wushu is mainly short bridge and narrow horse, and its power is somewhat close to Nanquan.
India-
Calari Payado: Ancient Indian martial arts. Calari Payado means "fighting training".
India is one of the four ancient civilizations, and the ancient fighting art existed as early as BC. At present, Payado in Calari was formed around 10 century, and was severely suppressed during the colonial rule. Once on the verge of extinction, it was not revived until the end of 19.
Calari Payado is a comprehensive training system, including physical exercise, breathing (related to yoga), unarmed combat and weapon combat (sticks, long knives, axes, spears, etc. ). In fact, it is also related to religion and traditional medicine. Every master Calari Payado is also an excellent traditional therapist.
Jackie Chan once fought with an Indian prince in a "myth" movie. The prince used Calari Payado.
Yoga: Yoga is actually not a martial art, but an ancient way of health preservation and practice in India. Yoga means "consistency" or "harmony".
The history of yoga may be more than 3000 years, which is recorded in the ancient Indian medical book Ashveda.
Many people think that yoga is some difficult movements or super flexible movements. In fact, physical exercise is only a small part of yoga. Yoga is based on the "Three Veins and Seven Wheels" of Indian traditional medicine (similar to meridians and acupoints in China), and achieves complete harmony and peace of body, mind and spirit through body posture, movement, breathing, meditation and even the pronunciation of some handprints and similar spells.
Yoga is actually very similar to China's internal strength and Qigong. It pursues the unity and peace of body, mind and mind, but in different ways.
Perhaps writing a rare martial arts is less teaching, but you can usually find teaching films online.
