Answer 1

escrimais weapon based and practices full contact stick fighting, but the strikes are good at translating into empty hand, They also use takedowns and submit peopel using the sticks

hapkido uses simple takedowns,wrist locks and lots of kicking techniques. When takeing down the opponent they try to use their momentum to pull off wrist locks


japanese jujitsu (as far as i know) is like BJJ but has forms and teaches more strikes (like found in karate). Its more traditional and has alot of budo.

Ninpo is a deadly art associated with ninja clans. They use alot of traditional techniques like found in kung fu but also emphasize killing moves, like neck breaking,injuring the knees,eye poking,grappling, tactics, weapons, and alot of meditation and sensory training.

Sambo is only a few decads old. It borrows from alot fo japanese systems and sports programs like basketball and gymnastics incorportaed with the training. They use sidekick like in karate, judo throws,unorthadox ground submissions, standing submission and disarms like in chinese Qin Na. it is a great system and they train hard

Tai hci is the most underated art. It is practiced slow but it is used mouch diffrent. Like if an opponent is throwing a haymaker you can absorb it and send an attack of your own at double power. Its like you are a turbine you send things out faster. Its very circular, relaxing,a nd good for strengtheing chi. But its hard to fight instructers who teach it as a combat system.ive used its principles and they work

Tang soo do is chuck norris orignal style of martial arts. Its a korean style ....pretty much taekwon do....lots of powerful and quick kicks.


wing chun is a close quarters styles they emphasizes blocking,redirecting,and sending off rapid fire back hands and straight punches all at the same time. Great hand speed, low kicks, but can be limiting. Its a great style that i dabbled in some, and would learn to love more. Its bruce lees original style as well.


good luck

Answer 2

Eskrima was developed during the Spanish colonial rule of the Philippines from the 16th to the early 20th century. The word Eskrima is borrowed from the Spanish language along with other fencing terms like estocado, lagro, espada, etc. Eskrima is a hybrid between Spanish Rapier and dagger techniques and the indigenous Filipino short blade fighting arts like Kali. It was popular among the members of the upper and middle class in Filipino society then especially among the Insulares or Filipino half breeds born in the Phlippines. The Philippine National Heroes who were prominent in the Filipino Revolution against Spanish rule like Dr. Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, Antonio Luna and countless others were said to be proficient in this art. Dr. Rizal in particular who studied in Barcelona was reputed to be an excellent fencer. Arnis de Mano is the stick fighting version of Eskrima, which supposedly came about when training with bladed weapons was banned by the Spanish authorities for fear of rebellion. The Filipinos then secretly practiced the art with sticks and disguised it as native folk dances pretty much like the way Capoiera originated, to keep the authorities from suspecting anything. Furthermore, most gentlemen during those times carried a walking cane, so the transition from blade to stick wasn't that hard. Later on, Arnis became an art of it's own, although the term Arnis is still used synonymously with Eskrima today.

Answer 3

I can only speak as an outsider on these style, as I'm an Isshinryu Karate-ka, but from what I've seen::: Hapkido and Tang Soo Do I'll lump together because what I saw was very similar, high kicks and grappling (wrist manipulations). The only Japanese Jujitsu class I saw was an Daitoryu class, which was very heavy into stand-up grappling, throws and traditional weaponry. (bo, sword, naginata) Escrima when I saw it, was taught alongside with Jeet Kun Do, and seemed pretty effective because in a "real life" situation you're likely to find some object you can use your escrima technique with. Tai Chi as I've seen it is focused solely on health. The Push-Hands I've seen (locally) has been pretty ineffective, though I'm sure there is better elsewhere. Wing Chun has excellent elbow techniques.

Answer 4

Tai Chi am learning Tai Chi Chi Kung
This is primarily for an internal exercise/ massage, and breathing exercise. There are 18 sets or moves or Kata. These are not used for Martial Arts. They are a great stretching and toning exercise
There are many forms of Tai Chi some are used as Martial Arts including some weapons as well.
Wing Chun
Is an in close fighting technique using a lot more circular techniques involving rapid trap and role punching always using two hands at the same time and short precise foot work.
These are just thumbnail descriptions. I hope it helps

Answer 5

Sambo is short for samodbrana it is in Russian. It is you can say Russian ju jitsu. Russian army SPECNAS is using it.

tai chi is internal marital art, breathing and so on. Very popular among Chinese. Every thing is in slow motion. Soft style of marital art.

Japanese ju jitsu is old marital art of samurai of feudal Japan as a method for dispatching an armed and armored opponent in situations where the use of weapons was impractical or forbidden.

Eskrima or Escrima refers to a class of Filipino Martial Arts that emphasize stick and sword fighting. Other terms which have entered into common usage include Kali and Arnis de Mano (harness of the hand); occasionally the abbreviation FMA (Filipino Martial Arts) is used. Eskrima and Arnis are among the many names primarily used in the Philippines today to refer to these arts.

Hapkido is Korean marital art, used in WWII. U can say Korean ju jitsu
