Karate

Tang Soo Do is a Korean martial art similar to Tae Kwon Do. "Tang" is the name of the dynasty ruling China at the time, Soo means hand, and Do means art. So it is the hand art of the Tang dynasty. The Korean government merged all of its various martial arts were consolidated into one national art-- this became known as Tae Kwon Do. To escape consolidation, which was viewed as a degradation of ancient traditions, many Korean martial artists relocated, often to America. Therefore Tang Soo Do is very popular in the U.S.

Even more popular is the Americanized version, known simply as American Tang Soo Do, which is similar to traditional Tang Soo Do but also contains many influences from Japanese and Chinese arts as well. The forms taught can be traced directly to the forms created and taught in the Okinawan styles of Karate, having been brought to Korea by people that learned them in Japan.

One of the most famous practitioners of Tang Soo Do was Grandmaster Hwang Kee. Chuck Norris learned Tang Soo Do while stationed in Korea with the US Air Force. Chuck Norris Karate Schools actually taught the art before moving to Tae Kwon Do.

In traditional Tang Soo Do, the highest colored belt is a "midnight blue" belt. This was changed to a black belt in American Tang Soo Do because it was more easily recognized by the public.

If you want to practice Tang Soo Do, the American version, at least, is easy to find in most states. If you're not an American resident or want to do the more traditional Korean version, it might be harder to find. But you can always try the yellow pages.

That depends on the school and style of karate. Orange belt is usually pretty low and can be on one side or the other of the yellow belt. How many stripes will depend on the school.

You can, but only in the act of avoiding serious harm to yourself or one who is under attack.

To better understand some of the ideas that define karate, you might want to read a book called "The Twenty guiding principles of Karate" by Gichin Funakoshi (translated by John Teramoto).

The second and third principles (chapters) of this book are titled "There is no first strike in karate" and "Karate stands on the side of justice". These words alone are enough to give you your answer.

The Karate costume/uniform is called "Gi".

Shito-ryu was founded by one of the legendary masters- Kenwa Mabuni. I think you mean the "Kuniba-kai" school. It's a style which mix soft and hard techniques. It uses a medium distance fight techniques. However, it won't teach you skills regarding gripping and ground combat.

death is considered a myth but to some mythical hunters they can be concluded to be a true god or a true threat

They are both striking arts. Tang Soo Do is a Korean based form. Until recently most of the kata could be clearly traced through Japan to Okinawa and Shorin Ryu Karate. Much of the Tang Soo Do schools have converted into the Taekwondo styles. Chuck Norris originally learned Tang Soo Do.

It is an open leg/Sumo stance. See the video below to get a better understanding.

Rarely will karate make you wealthy. A few individuals have been able to leverage martial arts skills in the entertainment industry, such as Jean Claude Van Damme or Chuck Norris. And there have been very few instructors that have been able to run and maintain franchised school systems that have been able to last more than a decade or so.

Answer: 1st grade (belt color may vary, but is often either brown or red)

The Black Belt represents a "Dan" (pronounced "dahn") or degree level of expertise. Under the Black Belt rank are the grades ("geup" in Korean / "kyu" in Japanese). These grades are temporary levels of progress towards the Black Belt beginning with a higher number for the lowest grade, and graduating to the lowest number at the highest grade (IE: 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Black Belt 1st Dan, 2nd Dan, 3rd Dan, etc.).

Which color belt that is used to represent each grade will vary in different organizations, systems, and from school to school. However, the general principle is to start the novice at white belt to represent innocence, purity, and a lack of knowledge of the Martial Art, and then the belts get gradually darker as the student is promoted in rank. The belt just before Black is often Brown, but sometimes red is used. If both brown and red are used as high grades, some schools will place the brown first, while others will put the red first and the brown at 1st grade. Some Japanese Martial will use a Red Belt, or a Red and White striped belt as a Grandmaster level above the Black Belt.

The simplest answer is you don't. Most instructors will not allow you to train when you are injured. It will only aggravate the injury and make it take longer to heal.

No, he reached brown belt in karate. Then he studied Jeet Kine Do.

The first move you'll ever learn is not by using or hands or feet, its by using your brain and moving out of the way

The character Ryu of Street Fighter fame, originally was said to have been an expert of Shotokan Karate, HOWEVER, from Super Street Fighter II onward, it was later changed to a fictional style known as Ansatsuken, according to the game's plot, an unarmed method for killing people developed in ancient times in Japan. Mainland Japan; not Okinawa. In the Street Fighter fiction, there are only a total of 3 masters of Ansatsuken, as of the events of Street Fighter IV, they are; 1) Gouken, the most powerful 2) Akuma (Gouki in Japanese), the second most powerful 3) And finally Ryu, as of the events of Street Fighter IV, prior to that he was not a master. In Street Fighter III, Ryu is a master for sure; according an official Capcom thing I read a while back, actually I think it was actually in a strategy guide or a game manual, the "shin sho ryu ken" or "true rising dragon" is a move that only an Ansatsuken master can perform. An ansatsuken master that is, as Gouken interprets the art; the martial arts true nature is all about killing, so, in a sense, Akuma is generally considered to be a master of the original, "dark version" of the art. Akuma's vicious move, the one where the screen goes blank and then the Kanji character appears? That move can only be executed by a master of the older version of Ansatsuken. Yes, the name of the martial art used by Ryu is a fictional style called "Ansatsuken," its most powerful practitioner is Gouken. So, what established that Ryu is a master? In real world Japanese martial arts tradition, when a master challenges a student to a fight, it is a recognition that the student's skills are at the same level as the master's. At the same level OR, good enough to hold his own against the master. There are low ranking masters, and high ranking ones; in the events of Street Fighter III, Ryu is a low ranking master of Ansatsuken, powerful enough to take on, and defeat Akuma, but not as powerful as Gouken. The Japanese borrow heavily from elements of their culture when making entertainment, often times they will take these elements and exagerate on them. For example the special moves in the Street Fighter games? That is the Japanese concept of "Kime" at work, that is, setting up a highly focused, vicious finishing blow. Or rather, the INFLUENCE of the concept of Kime.

While many people like to believe that, its high unrealistic.

Think about this. Your one person. And about four people can attack you at one time. Two in the front, two in the back. Now its going to be almost impossible to block the two in front. Now what about the back! Well lucky for you you have two eyes on the back of your head so your good to go!

Getting the picture? Or can I go further and say that you have two arms and two legs. And if your facing four enemies, your gonna be against 8 arms and 8 legs. I don't think you can block all that.

Plus we need to add on to the fact that your brain can only think so fast. When someone strikes they've already thought. "Ok I'm gonna strike with this hand here." But then you have to think "Ok he struck with that hand, he's aiming high, I'll block with this hand, and I'll block high"

By the time you though he's going high you probably just got smacked in the head. Well lucky you it just happened four times.

In the movies people "take turns" making it "possible" for you to defend them all off. In real life, everyone attacks at once. You only have so many limbs, you can only think so fast, and you can only do so much before your on the floor in pain.

In fact its impossible to take on two enemies unless your first strike knocks one of them out!

So the only advantage that Karate gives is that it teaches you HOW to use your hands and your feet. But were all still people who can only think so fast and do so much.

Karate evolved from a combination of Chinese martial art of kung fu and Okinawa wrestling.

A Dan represents everlasting and you will soon be a master.

'Kyu' are the ranks for color belts in karate. There are generally 10 kyu belts. White is the 10th kyu and brown belt the 1st kyu.
