(6) Back spin kick: The actual combat posture begins. Both feet are internally rotated about 180 degrees with the soles of the feet as the axis, and the body is turned to the right about 90 degrees, with both fists placed in front of the chest. Turn your upper body to the right and twist your legs at a certain angle. Kick off the right foot and combine the power of pushing off the ground with the power of twisting the upper body. The right leg continues to rotate back to the right and whip. At the same time, the upper body turns to the right, driving the right leg to swing to the right side of the body in an arc. Bend your knees to recover; drop your right foot to your right back to enter a combat position. Action essentials: Turn around and rotate, kicking in succession, all in one go, without any pause in the middle; the point of impact should be directly in front, in a horizontal arc; the rotation speed of bending the knees and raising the legs should be fast; the center of gravity should rotate 360 ??degrees on the spot. The main parts of the back spin kick attack are the face and chest.
(7) Pushing and kicking: the actual combat posture begins. Push your right foot on the ground, move your center of gravity forward, use your hip joint as the axis to lift your knee and push forward, use the sole of your right foot to push forward, with the force point on the sole of your foot, and push forward. Action essentials: Tighten the knee joint as much as possible after raising the knee; move the center of gravity forward, using the weight and strength of the body; extend the leg forward when pushing, and push the hip; the pushing route is horizontal and forward. The main target of the push kick is the abdomen.
(8) Horizontal kick: The actual combat posture begins. Push your right foot on the ground, shift your center of gravity forward to your left foot, bend your right foot and lift it up, place your two fists on your chest; press the front of your left foot on the ground and internally rotate, turn your hip joint to the left, and buckle your left knee inward; then continue to internally rotate your left foot to 180 degrees, lift the knee joint of your right leg forward to a horizontal state, and quickly kick your calf forward and laterally to the left; after hitting the target, quickly relax and retract your calf. The right leg falls back to the original position into the actual combat position. Action essentials: Clamp the knee joint, move the knee forward, and try to walk as straight as possible; externally rotate the supporting foot 180 degrees; move the hip joint forward, and the body and the upper and lower legs are in a straight line; strictly pay attention to the force point of the hit on the instep; relax the ankle joint, The feeling of hitting is "dough" and "whip tip". The main parts of the horizontal kick attack are the head, chest, abdomen and ribs
(9) Jump kick: refers to an attack technique that first jumps up to make the body vacate, and then completes various kicks in the air. Jump kicks include whirlwind kicks, double flying kicks, flying back kicks, flying splits, flying back spin kicks, jumping cross kicks and other methods. They are difficult technical movements in Taekwondo. (10) Single-leg kicks: perform two consecutive kicks with the same leg. More than one attack method.
(11) Double-leg kick: two consecutive attacks with two legs.
Karate
The hands, leg skills, attack, and defense in karate are the basics of offense and defense, the introduction to karate, and the ultimate technical goal. Although these basic movements are Most of them can be practiced within a few months, but even if it takes a lifetime, you may not reach a truly perfect state. Therefore, those who choose this path must practice and exercise unremittingly, not slack off, seriously and continuously. Moreover, it is very important to adapt to your own physical fitness and conduct reasonable organized and planned training. Even intense training must comply with sports mechanics. Only when it is carried out reasonably under the premise of physiology can its effect be reflected. From ancient times to the present, after years of accumulation, the "empty hands, technology" created and the theory of modern science have formulated its rationality. However, on the other hand, there are also some doubts that need to be confirmed by future scientific research. On the other hand, in order to respect the existing scientific data, karate is indeed expected to develop into a higher dimension. Therefore, I hope readers can fully understand and master the following important points, and continue to practice and train rationally.
1. The correct stance is closely related to sports mechanics or physiology.
For example: in baseball, a "home run" is also based on the correct stance and posture. Furthermore, for kendo masters, although they are strictly aesthetic, their postures are also in line with the rationality of sports mechanics. It also requires a good sense of balance and stability, especially the sequence of moving the body in a very short period of time. For example: when punching and kicking in actual combat, stricter requirements are imposed, and when the fist hits the target, the instantaneous impact is very large. Therefore, in order to withstand the blow, it is also important to immobilize all joints of the body. Especially the "variable" leg skills often require standing on one foot, so it is important to maintain a balanced posture. There are also natural placements based on the center of gravity of the body, actual conditions, and purpose. Also because with the kinetic energy of the body, the center of gravity keeps moving back, forth, left and right. Therefore, in order to cultivate the neural response that can be adapted to any situation at any time, daily quality training is also very important. Another point is that if you use the same foot to support your weight for a long time, your opponent will easily find flaws. Therefore, the exchange of feet cannot be ignored. And you also need to be constantly alert in your mind so as not to be confused by your opponent's feints.
2. Strength and speed Power is accumulated by speed. If you rely solely on well-developed muscles, you will not be able to achieve much in the world of sports and martial arts. The ultimate power of the basic karate techniques depends on the concentrated impact force at the moment of hitting the target when using punches and leg techniques, and increases with speed and strength. A technically mature person's punching speed can reach a maximum of 13M/SEC. The destructive power can reach the super heavyweight level of 700KG. In order to increase speed and power, "couple mechanics" or "reaction" can be used, and an understanding of motion mechanics is also very important.
3. Concentration and relaxation of strength. The power of karate is definitely not limited to wrist strength and leg strength. And being able to concentrate the planned power of each part of the body at the same time, direction, and purpose is the beginning of gaining powerful strength. Also, if you can relax unnecessary power when using techniques, the original attack power will be more effective. And it should be like "from 0 to 10, 10 to 0", relax - push hard - relax, but relaxing the strength does not mean relaxing the spirit. The athlete's spirit must always be kept full, so relaxing unnecessary strength is to prepare the strength for the next attack at any time.
4. Strengthening of muscle strength The driving force behind the operation of the body is muscle strength. Therefore, it is very important to have strong elastic muscles. If you only rely on understanding the technical essentials and movement mechanics to use the muscle strength that is the driving force of technology, you will not be able to move correctly, and you will not be able to achieve the desired goal. Therefore, daily muscle strengthening exercises have also become very important. To use a certain technique, it is also very important to understand which part of the muscles are moving, and to cooperate with the premise of reasonable exercise. In short, when using technique, the more the main muscles are used, the greater the effect will be obtained. On the contrary, reducing unnecessary muscle operation can also reduce physical energy consumption. If the muscles as a whole can operate in a coordinated manner, the ideal efficiency can be achieved.
5. Rhythm (beat) and timing Excellent sports skills are achieved by maintaining a pleasant rhythm and rhythm during exercise. Among various sports skills, some complex "timing" cannot be expressed using the beat of music. Therefore, it is very important to "understand" the rhythm of sports technology. To explain it formally, sex can be divided into three elements: the strength of strength, the speed of technique use, and the expansion and contraction of the body. Masters who have practiced to a certain level have powerful, natural and perfect techniques. For example, in terms of sports sense: proper control of "rhythm and timing" is the shortcut to a higher realm.
6. The explosive turning movements of the body possessed by all waist strength karate techniques, especially the turning of the waist. "Waist" is the foundation for mental stability, correct posture and the basis for maintaining balance, and it is also the source of strength. So it is particularly important for athletes. The operation of the waist plays an important role in every movement in our daily lives. Karate is no exception, that is to say, regardless of offense or defense, it is inseparable from the "waist".
7. Breathing technique is carried out at the same time as breathing.
The relationship between technique and breathing, breathing when defending and exhaling when attacking. Take one breath from beginning to end when performing the technique. Breathing is not just a single method, but should be coordinated with various changes in body movements and corresponding breathing patterns. But one thing worth noting is that you should not spit out everything when you exhale. If it is ten points, it is very important to leave two points. Otherwise, once the Qi is released, the body will become weak. At this time, even a small amount of force will not be able to resist, nor will it be able to respond to the changes in training. Next move.
The skills of karate
Karate is the skillful use of fists and kicks to explore the principles of victory and defeat, and then achieve a state beyond victory and defeat. It is to hone spirit, body, technology, explore true, A dynamic Zen way of goodness and beauty. Through unremitting exercise and rigorous and arduous competition, we can master advanced self-protection skills, develop a strong body and a sound mind, and practice hard with confidence and courage, thereby making positive contributions to the justice, peace, and development of human society. make a certain degree of contribution. Pay special attention to the fact that the way of karate is very important, that is, the spirit of karate, which is the most fundamental essence of karate.

In today's martial arts world, there are more and more various martial arts competitions. There is a question that has been plaguing many martial artists: In modern society, is karate still useful for self-defense?
In order to find the answer, we must carefully study karate and analyze the differences between it and what people call modern martial arts. If only a rough comparison is made, the conclusion does not seem so certain: because modern people like to interpret karate from the perspective of sports and fitness, there is very little left that can be used in actual combat. For competitions, these are completely sufficient; but to deal with a robber encountered on the street, it may not be so easy.
In the game, if you get a decisive score with a sudden palm, you will definitely win. But in actual combat, this is not the case. Traditional karate kung fu is very useful in competitions, but as martial arts people say, "If the enemy is always threatening you and wants to get something from you, what kung fu do you use?"
One technique is to attack the enemy continuously until the enemy is forced to surrender or is knocked unconscious. In fact, the ancient Chinese martial arts, Okinawan Kung Fu, and Japanese Karate have always encouraged this. This article will focus on five techniques that can improve your karate performance. Each technique evolved from the self-defense techniques of karate but are effective in actual combat.
Continuous boxing attacks
As mentioned above, actual combat kung fu emphasizes the use of continuous attacks to defeat the enemy. A simple block can only resist the enemy's attack. In contrast, a series of violent attacks will cause physical damage to the enemy and force the enemy to surrender.
Miyamoto Musashi, one of the most famous samurai in Japan, once said, "The fundamental purpose of practicing swordsmanship is to defeat the enemy in battle. There is no other purpose that can compare with this purpose. ". The swordsmanship he practiced was completely based on the needs of actual combat. This kind of bushido culture was born in an era when the jungle was strong. Today, the martial arts culture produced in the United States in the 21st century is just a performance.
Low Kung Fu
Various martial arts, such as Chinese Kung Fu, Japanese Judo, Okinawa Karate, etc., all teach people to kick their kicks low. Martial artists know that the higher the foot is raised, the more dangerous it is. Because once the center of gravity shifts upward, it is easy to lose balance. If an enemy grabs your leg as you kick him in the head, he can effortlessly knock you off balance. Then, he throws it smoothly and makes you collapse to the ground.
Of course, this is not always the case.
Generally speaking, high kick means high risk, but the key to how high the risk is depends on who is kicking. In other words, the higher your skill, the greater the possibility of success. Therefore, if your kung fu is high, it doesn't matter if you kick high. However, for ordinary people, this conclusion is a truth: the lower the kick, the safer it is.
Block the second punch
The third major similarity between traditional martial arts and actual combat techniques is that they both attach great importance to blocking or stopping the enemy's continuous attacks. For example, the basic essence of karate is to teach people how to avoid enemy attacks. Find a way to invalidate the enemy's attack, or at least contain the second punch the enemy throws at you.
This idea is consistent with the lateral shift idea in boxing. The White Crane Fist in Chinese Kung Fu is an important example of this idea. One of the moves is used to stop the enemy from kicking your lower body.
Multiple Target Attacks and Vital Attacks
In the past, martial artists attached great importance to the value of attacking multiple enemy targets simultaneously or continuously. They know that whenever they can hit the enemy's vitals, the value is extraordinary. Whether in a game or in actual combat, continuous attacks will make the enemy lose the courage to continue fighting. But continuous attacks also consume a lot of physical strength.
Rolling technique
In any martial art, rolling technique is an essential part. The same is true in self-defense Kung Fu. Because after you are knocked to the ground by an enemy, you must know what to do next. Getting up after being knocked down is equivalent to committing suicide. remember! You need to be very proficient in rolling and fighting techniques, and you should not just stay at the level of how to defend against the enemy. You have to learn how to fight. No matter how good you are at karate, you have to understand how effective a series of attacks can be on the ground.
In the first few years of the Fight Championship, the value of rolling techniques was very apparent. Those who are not good at fighting can do nothing after their punches and kicks are blocked by those who are good at fighting. All martial artists must keep this lesson in mind.
It is worth mentioning that an ancient Chinese book in the 17th century, "The Art of Fighting" (later various Okinawan karate kung fu was derived from this book) contains It contains 48 basic self-defense movements that can be used in fighting. It is obvious that ancient martial arts like to be inclusive, while modern martial arts love to be independent of each other in everything.
Physical strength and training
The last commonality between traditional martial arts and actual combat techniques is physical strength training. All other qualities being equal, a martial artist with greater strength will often have an advantage. A high level of training allows you to maintain your strength and perform when necessary. And if you run out of energy before the enemy does, then you have no choice but to resign yourself to fate!
In traditional Chinese martial arts, people increase their strength and physical durability by lifting large rocks or other exercises. This kind of training strengthens the durability of their muscles.
Another type of kung fu they practice is called "hard kung fu". It means that different parts of the body, including the abdomen, neck, arms and legs, can withstand great attack force. The purpose is to increase the resistance of these parts in combat. Although modern martial artists may not understand these things, there are still many people who punch or kick sandbags to increase their strength.
When karate was only taught in secret, it was usually limited to personal training, so the "form" was extremely developed. However, since karate was taught publicly, the proportion of "kumite" in practice has also changed. Increase accordingly. Generally, the initial purpose of those who go to the dojo to practice martial arts is to defend themselves and be good at fighting, and the practice of "kumite" is the most practical way to achieve this goal; some beginners want to achieve this goal as soon as possible , often ignore the importance of basic movements and devote themselves to the study of sparring, resulting in problems such as smaller basic movements and incorrect attack postures. Although it is possible to practice sparring (except for basic kumite) at the beginner stage I gained a little practical experience, but because I neglected to practice basic movements, my techniques lacked variety and striking power, which hindered my own progress.
"Kumite" is a set of offensive and defensive procedures agreed in advance by both attackers and defenders. It consists of basic movement techniques. The purpose of its practice is to enable beginners to achieve the following effects.
1. Cultivate the sensitivity of the whole body and understand the coordination of the whole body's strength.
2. Practice specific offensive and defensive techniques.
3. Learn how to attack vital points and avoid unnecessary blows to avoid wasting physical strength.
4. Strengthen the practice and application of basic movements.
5. Understand the coordination of timing and breathing.
6. Train fighting spirit and cultivate courage.
Generally, for beginners of kumite, both parties assume a combat stance, each taking an appropriate distance, and then the attacking party informs the target and boldly attacks the target, while the defending party freely uses what they have learned. It is a practice method to counterattack with techniques, so it can be said to be a preparation for practicing free sparring in the future. It is also the best way to cultivate the vision ability of the eyes and the sixth sense required for offense and defense. The difference between advanced kumite, called free kumite, and actual combat is that the attack target is assumed to be one inch in front of the vital part of the human body, which is called "inch stop". You must practice basic movements repeatedly, become familiar with each "form", and undergo basic kumite training before you can enter this stage. Before you are proficient in elementary kumite, you cannot practice free kumite. There are two reasons for this:
1. To prevent danger: Because when "free kumite", on the one hand, you have to attack, and on the other hand, you have to attack When parrying enemy attacks, accidents may easily occur before you are familiar with the basic techniques.
2. Prevent quirks: If you do not pay attention to basic movements and focus solely on victory or defeat, it is easy to form a fighting style of karate and hinder progress. Karate masters not only have superb skills during competitions, but their basic movements are indeed graceful, which can convince onlookers. The practice of basic movements and basic sparring is relatively monotonous, while free sparring can be performed freely and is more interesting;
When practicing free kumite, you must pay attention to the following points in order to make rapid progress:
1. Change and continuity of offensive and defensive techniques
2. Coordination of breathing and strength
3. Separation distance and momentum
The above three meals are factors that directly determine victory or defeat, so special attention must be paid to them.
When doing free kumite, what stance and posture are most suitable? This problem happens to almost every beginner. Mr. Chen Hongzong (the second highest master of Zonghe Quan of Baihemen, the chief master of IAKF Taiwan Branch of Japan Karate Association International Organization, the chief master of Shinto Dream Ryuu Zangdo Taiwan branch, the chief master of Chinese boxing of Japan Goju Boxing School) once said: "Karate has no "Standing, racking is used to teach beginners." This sentence means to warn scholars that they must be both physical and mental, not just formal.
Things to note in karate stances:
1. Don’t be careless and easily judge the opponent’s martial arts skills simply by looking at his stance.
2. Even if you have a complete posture, if you are relaxed, it will not be enough.
3. Although the opponent's attitude is casual and full of loopholes, you should not underestimate the enemy and deal with it with caution.
4. Don’t have the idea of ????deciding how to attack based on the opponent’s stance.
The essence of karate lies in the flexible use of body and mind. Never be fooled by the enemy's posture. That is to say, you are not subject to physical constraints, and you can adopt your own fighting methods and assume a stance that suits you.
The correct actual combat stance must have three elements:
1. Make all parts of the body and limbs most suitable for the next action.
2. Correct posture will never allow the other party to gain insight into your intentions or expose your trends.
3. The correct posture must still maintain appropriate tension in the muscles, so that the body can retain the most flexible response ability, and the limbs can be in a natural state without losing their function. Alertness.
As for the posture that suits your own physical characteristics, you can naturally experience it through constant exercise.
As for the separation distance during free kumite, it depends on the height, arm length and step size of each person; generally speaking, you can hit the enemy by taking one step forward, and avoid it by taking a step back. The ideal distance is to pass the enemy's attack interval.
However, during the game, each other's positions are constantly changing, and it is very difficult to accurately determine the distance between each other. Usually tall people like to keep a larger distance and take advantage of opportunities to attack; short people often rush into the opponent's arms and engage in hand-to-hand combat. In short, not allowing the opponent to enter a distance that suits him, but fighting within a distance that suits you, is an absolute condition for victory. However, beginners should pay attention to: "The possible distance of attacking the enemy is also the possible range of being attacked."
We often hear people say: "Attack is the best defense." This is a wise saying. However, this is not the case for stalking attack rules. Attack is an action that implements skills and strategies. The elements of attack include judgment of speed, distance, and the application of feints. Therefore, no matter any continuous attack, the first punch or the first kick is always the most important. It is best if the first blow can hit the opponent. Otherwise, the first blow must pave the way for the second and third blows. , the purpose of continuous attacks is not to waste your energy on empty punches. Remember, although the preparation of the attack and the execution of the attack are two stages of action, it is necessary to make the movements of these two stages coherent so that the movements can be smooth, coordinated and completed in one go.
As for the many ways to defend (block the opponent's attack), there are too many to mention. Mr. Nakayama, the chief teacher of the Japan Karate Association, once said: "Receiving skills is the key to victory." Only with clever defense can you have the skills to attack. The defensive method of karate's practical skills is not just parrying; it can be said that the combination of attack and defense is the characteristic of karate.
The actual combat experience of many Japanese martial arts practitioners
One glance is enough
The four most important points of three courage and four strength in actual combat are to observe the opponent's behavior with the eyes Dynamically, use your feet to move to the most favorable position for attack, take action without hesitation, determine the target and boldly deliver a powerful fatal blow (one hit will kill).
Suspension and waiting are consistent means that the suspension (offense) and waiting (defense) are consistent, that is, offense and defense are integrated.
Three Don'ts: The opponent must not let go and attack in the following three situations:
(1) When the opponent just takes action.
(2) When hesitating to take action.
(3) When the move is exhausted (referring to the moment when the opponent completes the attack and pauses in the middle).
Three firsts (1) First of all (counterattack when the opponent's action is about to start).
(2) Counterattack first (see the opponent's actions and counterattack before their actions take effect).
(3) Be the first to take advantage of the last (to make the opponent's attack ineffective, and then seize the opportunity to counterattack).
Four taboos in the art of war: panic, fear, doubt, and confusion
Three killing methods (1) Kill his hands (destroy his body weapons).
(2) Kill the opponent's move (block the opponent's move).
(3) Killing the opponent (destroying the opponent's fighting spirit).
To stop the mind means not to be distracted by other things.
Canxin: Don’t let your guard down even when you hit the enemy.
Mesuke of distant mountains "Mesuke" refers to the place where the eyes are focused. It means that when confronting an opponent, the eye spirit looks at the opponent with the mood of looking at the distant mountains. It does not just look at part of it, but to see everything.
The difference between Taekwondo and Karate
1 There are historical differences
The foundation of Taekwondo was passed down from the Goryeo Dynasty.
Karate has a basic history of 200 years.
2 The founders are different
The founder of Taekwondo is Cui Hongxi.
The founder of karate is Yama.
3 Karate mainly uses hands
Taekwondo mainly uses legs while adding punches
4 There are differences in technical issues
Taekwondo kicks focus on horizontal kicks (test kicks) and shoulder horizontal lines
When karate kicks, the knees are not raised (test kicks) and the shoulders, waist and legs are not horizontal and the kick cannot exert the power of the whole body.
Taekwondo movements are based on wave footwork.
Karate is linear motion.
5 Taekwondo moves use the principle of reaction to increase strength.
Karate movements are performed directly without any reaction.
6 When testing karate kicks, pull your toes in so that you cannot kick hard objects.
Taekwondo is about kicking hard things with your heels.
7 The karate wheel kick uses the instep and the taekwondo wheel kick uses the forefoot to break hard objects.
8 Karate has fewer kicks than Taekwondo. Example: Pressure kick
9 Taekwondo has 3,200 moves. Karate does not use so many moves.
10 Taekwondo kicks include sliding kicks to suddenly attack opponents from a distance
Karate does not have such techniques.
11 There are many examples of Taekwondo jump kicks: (jump forward kick 2.60m) (jump test kick 2.30m)
(jump wheel kick 2.40m) (jump Wheel kick 2.40m) (Jump 360-degree reverse wheel kick 2.40m)
Such an action cannot be found in karate.
12 Taekwondo and karate sparring are also completely different
During Taekwondo sparring, you cannot attack the lower part, back, or back of the head.
This does not mean that there is no attack on the lower part, back, and back of the head.
It means that people are precious.
When fighting in karate, attack the lower part.
13 When fighting in Taekwondo, let your hands and feet attack continuously to score points.
In a karate fight, whoever gets a point first has to start over.
(Do you get extra points for stealing?)
