That means elbow to fists on the hands, and knee to feet on the legs. All the bones in these areas are used to strike elbow strikes, shin strikes, kicks, punches, open-hand punches, etc… , but nothing more than that. Throws and locks are rare, so the aforementioned body parts are the ones used in fights. In Judo, however, the situation is a bit more complex.
One might say that they also use their arms and legs to tackle and grapple with their opponent, but actually, the force is generated mostly by the hips and the legs. Here, the difference is almost non-existent. Both arts have similar equipment in both traditional and more modern schools.
Both are trained on tatami flooring most of the time to avoid potential injury and reduce the impact on joints and bones when falling, which is obviously more important for Judo, seeing as a Judo class mainly consists of students slamming each other to the ground non-stop.
In more modern schools, head-, shin-, mouth-, groin-, and other types of guards are required. The difference is that Karate schools require these guards more often than Judo schools since Karate is based on striking and can injure these body parts a lot more easily. Many Judo schools have scarce or no equipment at all, even in the modern parts of the world. Both martial arts, however, require wearing gi-s , which are traditional Japanese clothing that almost all martial arts from that region use.
There is a slight difference between Karate and Judo gi-s, which is that Judo requires more heavy stitching in certain areas and thicker collars as well to endure the wear and tear of grabbing the clothes of the opponent to throw them. Judo relies a lot on the leverage gained by holding the collar or the clothes at the hips, knees, or shoulders to properly execute a throw, which makes it necessary to make thicker gi-s for Judo, but the basic concept of the clothing is the same: a deep-necked shirt with long sleeves either like a jacket or like a pullover , loose-fitting pants and a belt to hold it all together.
One of the more frequent questions when it comes to martial arts is their effectiveness since people want to learn these arts in order to defend themselves and their loved ones.
Agreed, Joe. This is terribly offensive, as the author does not know a single thing about judo. In fact, in judo, you practice chokes and arm bars and use them in competitions. Ronda Rousey is definitely a good example of someone who knows the art of arm bars and judo. Sorry, but this article lacks any real knowledge behind judo AND karate, whatsoever. Amit, judo is a great sport, as it teaches and builds self confidence and tones your skills.
I think that he can learn a lot more from judo since it teaches you how to fight bigger and stronger opponents since you cannot just use raw strength. Maybe let him watch some Olympic judo clips, and let him decide if it is right for him. Judo is exhilarating, to say the least. Mr Amit, Go through the right channel and there is a lot to karate.
Karate is an official sport in tokyo olympics. Karate association of India is the only national organisation for promotion of sports karate with its headquarters in chennai and headed by president mr thiagarajan and general secretary mr bharat sharma. Its recognised by Government of India, Ministry of youth affairs and sports. For any other querries or suggestions pls feel free to call on What nonesense! Nobody can compete in mixed martial arts without mastery of Judo.
Go on youtube and watch Royce Gracie beat the crap out of everybody! I have to agree with Joe. I spent several years learning Shotokan Karate. I got my hat handed to me when I was a brown belt by a green belt Judoka. I tried to kick with a front snap kick. He stepped inside and threw me with O Uchi Gari. I became a Judoka and now am a Sandan. World Karate Federation : Created in , the world federation now includes countries for over billion practitioners over the world.
Olympic Games: Long after other sports like judo and taekwondo, karate will participate in the summer Olympic Games for the first time in Japan, Tokyo for the fun story. World championship : Japan, France and Great Britain are the best nations of all time in the karate world championships. Like in judo, the belt color indicate the fighter experience from white for beginners to black for experts, with intermediate colors: yellow, orange, green, blue and brown. In the biggest competitions, the organizer gives a different color to each fighter, even if they both have a black belt normally.
In this case, they were the belt color imposed by the organizer. I told you the basic material, but it all depend on the situation. Many accessories exist to protect the fighters, protections for hands, feet, teeth and intimate parts.
Kids often wear helmet and chest plate in addition to protect themselves. You have to know that two types of fights exist in karate: classical fights kumites and katas. But katas are a choreography , attempting to reproduce a fight, following a predefined plan, without a real opponent.
Here is an example in video, from the team final of the world championship in Paris , if you want to know what it looks like:. Now we can talk a little about classic fights in karate.
Both karate and judo are Japanese combat sports. But their aims and approaches to combat are very different. Judo is kind of like wrestling. It uses throws, joint locks and chokes. The aim is to pin or immobilize your opponent. Karate is more about striking your opponent.
