I want to know who create this martial art? 1.Tae Kwan Do 2.Capoeira 3.Muay Thai 4. Jujitsu 5.Kempo 6.Karate?

Answer 1

1) Tae Kwan Do -- General Choi Hunghi founded TaeKwanDo in 1955,bringing together the varies Kwans under the name of TaekwanDo,it comes from the ancient Tae Kyun kicking arts and Karate.
2) Capoeira --African slaves in Brazil. African slavery in Brazil began between 1500 and 1530, and continued through 1888, when the slaves were freed. The slaves brought much of their culture with them from Africa, so Capoeira became a Brazilian martial art but it still contained a heavy African influence. The slaves designed it to look like a dance, so the owners wouldn't guess they were learning to defend themselves.

3) Muay Thai -- Muay Thai is considered by some to be a derivation of a general indigenous martial art style native to southeast Asia. It was the first to be popularized outside of Southeast Asia.

Traditionally in the past, Muay Thai was used as entertainment to kings. It is thought by some sources that gloves were made out of wrapped twine, tar, and broken pieces of glass to ensure a bloody event, however it is still a subject of debate.

Nai Khanomtom--The famous fighter generally believed as the Founder of Muay Thai.

4) Jujitsu -- Opinions differ as to the origin of the art. One traces it to Chin Gempin, a naturalized Chinese, of whom mention is made in the following paragraph. Another attributes it to Shirobei Akiyama, a physician at Nagasaki, who is stated to have learned three tricks of hakuda in China. A third, on the other hand, claims the art to be the production of pure Japanese ingenuity.

5) Kempo - Source : by Ken Warner

Kempo history dates back many thousands of years. Kempo history has its roots in Asia - China, Japan and Okinawa. But Kempo's history as far as North America is concerned hit a major turning point in Hawaii in the early 20th century.
Evidence suggests that the first systematized methods of fighting came into existence in India as early as 2,000 B.C. It is also possible that links existed between these ancient Indian forms and the system known as Pankration which was practiced by the ancient Greeks. Historians have documented the existence of ancient trade routes between Greece and India. As a result of this contact, each culture had the power to influence the other. This influence may well have included the transfer of some martial arts methods.

6) Karate -- As legend has it, the evolution of karate began over a thousand years ago, possibly as early as the fifth century BC when Bodhidharma arrived in Shaolin-si (small forest temple), China from India and taught Zen Buddhism. He also introduced a systematized set of exercises designed to strengthen the mind and body, exercises which allegedly marked the beginning of the Shaolin style of temple boxing. Bodhidharma's teachings later became the basis for the majority of Chinese martial arts. In truth, the origins of karate appear to be somewhat obscure and little is known about the early development of karate until it appeared in Okinawa.

Okinawa is a small island of the group that comprises modern day Japan. It is the main island in the chain of Ryuku Islands which spans from Japan to Taiwan. Surrounded by coral, Okinawa is approximately 10 km (6 mi) wide and only about 110 km (less than 70 mi) long. It is situated 740 km (400 nautical mi) east of mainland China, 550 km (300 nautical miles) south of mainland Japan and an equal distance north of Taiwan. Being at the crossroads of major trading routes, its significance as a "resting spot" was first discovered by the Japanese. It later developed as a trade center for southeastern Asia, trading with Japan, China, Indo China, Thailand, Malaysia, Borneo and the Philippines.
In its earliest stages, the martial art known as "karate" was an indigenous form of closed fist fighting which was developed in Okinawa and called Te, or 'hand'. Weapons bans, imposed on the Okinawans at various points in their history, encouraged the refinement of empty-hand techniques and, for this reason, was trained in secret until modern times. Further refinement came with the influence of other martial arts brought by nobles and trade merchants to the island.

Te continued to develop over the years, primarily in three Okinawan cities: Shuri, Naha and Tomari. Each of these towns was a center to a different sect of society: kings and nobles, merchants and business people, and farmers and fishermen, respectively. For this reason, different forms of self-defense developed within each city and subsequently became known as Shuri-te, Naha-te and Tomari-te. Collectively they were called Okinawa-Te or Tode, 'Chinese hand'. Gradually, karate was divided into two main groups: Shorin-ryu which developed around Shuri and Tomari and Shorei-ryu which came from the Naha area. "It is important to note, however, that the towns of Shuri, Tomari, Naha are only a few miles apart, and that the differences between their arts were essentially ones of emphasis, not of kind. Beneath these surface differences, both the methods and aims of all Okinawan karate are one in the same" (Howard, 1991). Gichin Funakoshi goes further to suggest that these two styles were developed based on different physical requirements Funakoshi, 1935). Shorin-ryu was quick and linear with natural breathing while Shorei-ryu emphasized steady, rooted movements with breathing in synchrony with each movement. Interestingly, this concept of two basic styles also exist in kung-fu with a similar division of characteristics (Wong, 1978).

The Chinese character used to write Tode could also be pronounced 'kara' thus the name Te was replaced with kara te - jutsu or 'Chinese hand art' by the Okinawan Masters. This was later changed to karate-do by Gichin Funakoshi who adopted an alternate meaning for the Chinese character for kara, 'empty'. From this point on the term karate came to mean 'empty hand'. The Do in karate-do means 'way' or 'path', and is indicative of the discipline and philosophy of karate with moral and spiritual connotations.
The first public demonstration of karate in Japan was in 1917 by Gichin Funakoshi, at the Butoku-den in Kyoto (Hassell 1984). This, and subsequent demonstrations, greatly impressed many Japanese, including the Crown-Prince Hirohito, who was very enthusiastic about the Okinawan art. In 1922, Dr. Jano Kano, founder of the Japanese art of Judo, invited Funakoshi to demonstrate at the famous Kodokan Dojo and to remain in Japan to teach karate. This sponsorship was instrumental in establishing a base for karate in Japan. As an Okinawan "peasant art," karate would have been scorned by the Japanese without the backing of so formidable a martial arts master (Maliszewski, 1992).

Today there are four main styles of karate-do in Japan: Goju-ryu, Shito-ryu, Shotokan, and Wado-ryu:

Goju-ryu developed out of Naha-te, its popularity primarily due to the success of Kanryo Higaonna (1853-1915). Higaonna opened a dojo in Naha using eight forms brought from China. His best student, Chojun Miyagi (1888-1953) later founded Goju-ryu, 'hard soft way' in 1930. In Goju-ryu much emphasis is placed on combining soft circular blocking techniques with quick strong counter attacks delivered in rapid succession.

Shito-ryu was founded by Kenwa Mabuni (1889-1952) in 1928 and was influenced directly by both Naha-te and Shuri-te. The name Shito is constructively derived from the combination of the Japanese characters of Mabuni's teachers' names - Ankoh Itosu and Kanryo Higaonna. Shito-ryu schools use a large number of kata, about fifty, and is characterized by an emphasis on power in the execution of techniques.

Shotokan was founded by Gichin Funakoshi (1868-1957) in Tokyo in 1938. Funakoshi is considered to be the founder of modern karate. Born in Okinawa, he began to study karate with Yasutsune Azato, one of Okinawa's greatest experts in the art. In 1921 Funakoshi first introduced Karate to Tokyo. In 1936, at nearly 70 years of age, he opened his own training hall. The dojo was called Shotokan after the pen name used by Funakoshi to sign poems written in his youth. Shotokan Karate is characterized by powerful linear techniques and deep strong stances.

Wado-ryu, 'way of harmony', founded in 1939 is a system of karate developed from jujitsu and karate by Hienori Otsuka as taught by one of his instructors, Gichin Funakoshi. This style of karate combines basic movements of jujitsu with techniques of evasion, putting a strong emphasis on softness and the way of harmony or spiritual discipline

Answer 2

No all martial arts are not jujitsu. There are many martial arts that were birthed out of jujitsu. Like: judo, karate, aikido, and on some levels tkd. The current craze BJJ comes from Judo which came from Jujitsu. But you should also realize that boxing, wrestling are considered martial arts. They do not have an Eastern culture influence. Capoeira is a martial arts that originated by African in Brazil. Let's not forgot Kung Fu. It was the chinese martial arts the birth the Japanese martial arts.

Answer 3

1.Korea
2.Africa but popularized in Brazil
3. Thailand
4. Japan
5. I think it's an American created offshoot (could be wrong)
6. Okinawa/Japan

Answer 4

Korea, South America, Thailand, China, American rip off of China, Japan

Answer 5

tae kwan do i know is from Korea the others I'm not sure but martial arts were developed thousands of years ago when emperors wouldn't allow the people to have weapons and were abused buy the emperors and their army's so they turned their body's and seemingly harmless objects such as a walking stick into weapons

Answer 6

1. The name Tae Kwon Do means literally, "the art of punching and kicking". The name was adopted by Gen. Choi Hong Hi of the Korean Army and he developed the system from other, more ancient Korean fighting systems. It is the national sport of Korea.
2. Capoeira was developed by African slaves in Brazil. Martial arts were outlawed for slaves, so they disguised it as a dance. They would often dance with knives attached to their feet. The name comes from a Portuguese word related to "hens" or fowl.
3. Muay Thai or "Thai boxing" is similar to Western kickboxing, but is much older and allows techniques such as knees and elbows. In ancient times, fighters would fight with ropes tied around their hands.
4. Jujitsu is a Japanese martial art, in some ways similar to karate but puts much more emphasis on grappling, joint locking, ground-fighting, etc. Although, striking techniques are taught in some styles of Jujitsu.
5. I really don't know much about Kempo. I'm just answering what I know and I'm not looking up what I don't. Sorry.
6. Karate, which means "empty hand", was developed in both Japan and Okinawa. Based somewhat on the martial arts of China, Karate utilizes more linear, rather than circular movements.

Answer 7

I cannot answer all of these but I do know the answer to one of them.
Karate was developed from Te which was the native art of Okinawa and Chuan fa from China. A man named Sakagawa in Okinawa combined the two arts and called it Kara-Te. Kara meant Chinese (later in main land Japan it was changed to Void so the Japanese would accept it, at which point the Japanese also changed the techniques) and Te simply meant hand.

Incidentally, Tae Kwon Do is not really a martial art. It is a sport as declared by Korea. We know that karate was developed in Okinawa over a century before Japan knew about it. When Japanese soldiers invaded Korea, a Korean man saw one practicing karate. He secretly observed everyday and went home to practice it. Which is why all there forms look like the karate forms.Thus he developed a bastardized style of karate and named in Tae Kwon Do. This new style has never officially been carried into combat by an army and is in the Olympics as a sport.
It is more like boxing than an actual martial art.
I have no disrespect towards TKD practioners but I do feel a need to clarify this to those who are not informed.

Answer 8

Research its origins by googlign each and reading about the culture that it waqs developed within, and you will get an idea of who really did, because there are so many claims as to who where , and why these arts were formed.

Answer 9

jujitsu orginated in japan but was further pioneered by the gracie family of Brazil

Answer 10

Jujutsu is a "koryu"-a school of traditional Japanese martial arts like kenjutsu or bojutsu. It developed during the war states period and then was codified during the Tokugawa era. Samurai wore armour into battle, so a grappling style of unarmed combat was obviously most appropriate for them.

Karate is modern Japanese martial art of Okinawan origin. The Okinawans developed it from their own fighting style and Chinese martial arts. It came to be known in the rest of Japan after 1874 when Japan formally annexed Okinawa.

When the Japanese colonized Korea they brought Karate with them and it became mixed with the indigenous Korean fighting styles and Chinese styles the Koreans learned while serving with the Japanese Imperial Army in Manchuria and China. After Korea was liberated this new style was named Tae Kwan Do at the suggestion of the ROK goverment and then adopted by the ROK military.

Kenpo is a Japanese word that implies unarmed martial arts in general to Japanese people. In the west it usually refers to a mixture of Japanese and Chinese styles. It's a pretty vague term that's applied to a lot of different stuff. I don't have a clue about the Brazilian stuff, it looks like dancing to me.

Answer 11

It all comes from buddhist monks when they brought yoga with them.
