Which form of martial arts is stronger, KARATE or KUNG-FU ?

Answer 1

definitely kung fu.

Answer 2

Karate and Kung Fu are neither strong nor weak, they are theoretical systems of conditioning and movement. Neither has any measurable strength in its purest form; it is simply an idea. When a practitioner chooses either one, that person is the factor which breathes life; motion and strength into the theory.

Accordingly, if one person practices a form of Kung Fu (which means "Life Work") it is that person's practice which is the measurable factor by which to judge. Likewise with any style of Karate.

So it is not the style, but the practitioner which brings strength or weakness to the final result. As such, you must measure all practitioners of every style and then what will you have? Many thousands of individual artists who can only be judged against themselves; their particular style becomes irrelevant.

So it is the singer, not the song.

Answer 3

kung-fu definately .karate punches and kicks are all done atfull extension meaning their power is nearly all on the surface .kung-fu deals with internal energy which means the energy of a punch or kick is transfered into your opponents body and internal organs not just on the outside

Answer 4

You could say that all martial arts are equal. It's the practitioner that sets them apart.

Would a punch from a 300 pound man who trained in karate be stronger than a 120 pound girl in kung-fu? What about vice-versa, if it was the man in kung-fu and the woman in karate?

If you punch weak, then it is YOUR punch, not the art's punch. If you kick weak, then it is YOUR kick. If you cannot focus, then it is just you that cannot focus, not your chosen art.

Answer 5

The disciplines of Karate emphasize power (often with special emphasis to this attribute), control, and fluidity, in their strikes and techniques, whereas the disciplines of Kung Fu emphasize control, fluidity, and economy of movement.

because they both have similar principles in many (if not all) of their respective disciplines between the two, some have their soft approach while others have a more aggressive (or "hard')point of view.

but neither of theses disciplines are "stronger" than the other any more than they are "better" than the other.

It also depends on the teacher or instructor and their own personal teaching style

Answer 6

There is no superior form, only superior practioners. That said, I prefer kung fu. It has a more aggressive and extreme training regimen than any martial art I've ever practiced, and it has what I consider to be a more versatile system and philosophy.

Answer 7

Which type?

Only Kung Fu I would feel comfort with recommending to ignorant public are San Shou and San Da.

As for Karate, Eshin, Seido, Sudokan, and Kyokushin are decent.

The rest, I wouldn't trust them.

Answer 8

Depends on your definition of "stronger"!

The Chinese Internal martial arts (Kung Fu) use chi energy.

Answer 9

KARATE and KUNG-FU both are skillful martial arts learn both
my friend if u learn both u can use a mixed style to your oppenent

Answer 10

The real answer is based on the dedication, skill and experience of the practitioner. At the higher levels, one always has to transcend the limitations of the art form anyway to create something that is ideally suited to him or her. The forms of the individual art are just guides to get to that state.

Answer 11

Traditional Hung Gar Kung Fu is stronger than American Tournament-oriented Karate. And by stronger, I mean the stance-work, the conditioning, and the output of energy. Traditional Karate was probably quite strong, hardcore, and effective, but not what is done in most dojos these days.
