Types Of Martial Arts
What are the different types of martial arts?
I want to take some form of martial arts but i was wondering what are the differences between them and what exactly is involved and covered under each type? Thanks!
Well there are many of them, some concentrates on kicking, other does both kicking and punching, then you have the ones that does throws, some do grappling. Some martial arts is very practical, some are not. So it depends on your goal.
Are you doing this for self defense? Then the best ones would be, Krav Maga. This is a discipline crafted out of a combination of different arts and created by the Israeli strictly for self defense. There's no beauty in it, the movements are geared for practical day to day combat situation. No rules, just flat out hurt the opponent, and put him out of commission
Are you doing this to compete? Do you like full contact or not? Karate, Muay Thai, kick boxing, Savate, boxing , all offers full contact tournaments.
All of traditional martial arts fall into 2 big categories, disciplines that primarily relies on strikes and those that relies on grappling.
Striking disciplines are those like Karate, Tae Kwan Do, Wu Shu, Wing Chun, Muay Thai, Silat, Capoeira, Boxing etc.
Grappling includes, wrestling, Judo, Ai Ki Do, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Jiu Jitsu, etc.
Then you have those, like Tai Chi and Qigong, that is primarily used for health. They are still martial arts, and if you learn it properly you can use it for fighting. But they're not very practical, you can't take a Tai Chi class for a month and hope to use it to fight.

What different types of martial arts are there?
There's about six different types of fighting ranges. They are: Throwing range, weapon range, leg striking range, hand striking range, grappling/throwing range, and ground-grappling.
As for the number of arts that encompass all of those: Hundreds of thousands. There's new ones being made every year, and of the probably at least 10,000 base martial arts: There's between one and 1000 different variations for each. It's endless. Here some I will name, and this isn't even a fraction of them all:
Karate, Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai, Jujutsu, Iaido, Kenjutsu, Judo, Taijitsu/To Shin Do/Bujinkan/Budo/Nipo (AKA "Ninjutsu"), systema, sambo, Yaw Yan, Shuai Chiao, Wing Chun, Hapkido, Kyukido, Kobudo, Kail, Escrima, Capoeira, BJJ/GJJ, Pankration, Chun Kuk Do, Hwar Do, Kuk Sool Won, TaeKyon Yong Chul Do, Aikido, Kempo, Boxing, Kickboxing (Muay Thai and Yaw Yan are in a world of their own).....
Of those styles, there's various sub-styles within them. That's still just a fraction.
