korean martial art incorporates a wide
variety of elements as well as
techniques from other martial arts into
its discipline a sort of best of
approach to self-defense I noticed
there’s someone behind me I turn first
then attack
Hapkido takes from both the grappling
and striking ends of the martial-arts
spectrum while placing particular
emphasis on leverage distance and
positioning to properly redirect the
force of a potential opponent performing
strikes and kicks in a circular motion
is also indicative of the Hapkido
discipline the name itself can be

about reverses countering momentum
number seven Aikido the next martial art
on our list also deals with harmony and
energy although this Japanese discipline
takes its notion of universal harmony
even further by stressing the safety of
both the defender and attacker whenever
possible okay I was able to block it the
car with a Nick key on Satan a my man
relax calm down okay he felt a bit of
pain here and that was enough for me I
didn’t even have to take him down all
the way or anything that was enough him
to say alright may alright I’m good I’m
good I’m good
the Aikido philosophy stresses the
shifting of balance and using an
opponent’s momentum against them before
subduing attackers via a joint lock or
throw famous practitioners of Aikido

has utilized aspects of the discipline
in many of his films
although Segal’s methods tend to be
fairly liberal with that whole
well-being of your attacker idea he’s
crazy
number six Jeet Kune Do kick me the
origins of our next discipline stems
from arguably the most famous martial
artists of all time
the immortal Bruce Lee my style you can

philosophy of martial arts or fighting
without fighting
which was influenced by the Wing Chun
idea of anticipating the attacks of and
then attacking an opponent
Lee’s Jeet Kune Do demanded graceful
fluid body movements never wasting
energy yet achieving maximum results and
