What is
Muay Thai? Muay Thai is referred to as "The science of eight limbs" as the
hands, shins, elbows and knees are all used extensively in this art.
Almost all techniques in Muay Thai use the entire body movement,
rotating hip with each kick punch and block.
Muay Thai along with savate and karate, heavily influenced the
development of kick boxing in Japan, Europe & North America. What is
Starke Kenjukido? Starke
Kenjukido is a mixed martial art comprised of : Kenpo meaning "fist principals", "way of the fist" or
" law of the fist form".
Kempo is mostly known as a mixed style that has a heritage in
Chinese martial arts, especially Shaolin, combines with Karate
(sometimes called Kenpo Karate) and often mixed with other elements
of Japanese arts like Jujitsu and Aikijujutsu. Kenpo or Kempo emphasizes punching, striking and kicking. Jujutsu literally translated means "gentile art". Japanese Jujutsu systems often place more emphasis on throwing,
immobilizing and pinning, joint locking and strangling techniques.
Jujutsu exponents use their techniques to react to an opponents
attack rather than using brute strength to overcome an enemy. Therefore, a smaller person stands a chance of overcoming as larger
person by using strategy and effective techniques.
Judo literally means "the gentile way" or "the way of
giving way". The word Judo is composed of two kanji characters: "ju" which means
gentleness and "do" which means way or road.
Judo utilizes the Jujutsu principal of using an opponents strength
against him and adapting well to changing circumstances.
Judo assumes that there are two phases of combat: standing Tachi-waza which incorporates throws, take downs and
submissions ground Newaza which incorporates holds, joint locks and
chokes.
Aikido can be translated as "the way of harmony and
universal energy". The name Aikido is formed from 3 Japanese characters: "ai"
union/harmony, "ki" universal energy/spirit and "do" way.
Aikido incorporates a wide range of techniques which use the
principals of energy & motion to redirect , neutralize & control
attackers.
