Also, here's a little information about their techniques for you to understand these awesome Martial Arts! ( Heyy, at least you learned a thing or two ;> )
Aikido
The creator of aikido wanted to make an art that a person could use to defend themselves, without causing injury to their attackers. Aikido loosely translates to "the way of harmonious spirit." The majority of aikido is not striking, it is based on the principle that an attacker exposes themselves each time they go on the attack.
Judo
The primary objective is to throw or takedown your opponent for points. "Maximum efficiency, minimum effort" is the cornerstone of the martial art.
Kickboxing
Kickboxing combines punches, knees, headbutts, and kicks to disarm an opponent or attacker. The key to kickboxing is speed and agility, the person must strike before the attacker can react and respond.
Karate
It involves the typical kicking, punching, elbows and also incorporates open hand techniques. The main focus is on attack deflection, controlling and disabling attacks that come from directly in front of you.
Taekwondo
Taekwondo is based upon the belief that the leg is the strongest and furthest reaching limb that a person has, thus having the greatest potential to be used as a powerful weapon while keeping an attacker at a distance.
Wrestling
I'm not referring to the WWE, which many of you may think is true wrestling. On the contrary, traditional wrestling is performed on a mat with no ropes.
Jujitsu
It is a Japanese martial art and a method of close combat for defeating an armed and armored opponent in which one uses no weapon or only a short weapon.
Krav Maga
This martial art involves aspects of Jiu-Jitsu grappling and ground fighting, Karate kicks and knees, and traditional boxing punches. This is not a simple sport, in Krav Maga, the defense is aimed at killing the aggressor. The defense is also the attack. It is a counter attack of sorts where you protect yourself from attack, while simultaneously incapacitating the attacker.
Muay Thai
This martial art uses punches, kicks, knees and elbows in forming an attack. The sport can be very violent and brutal, but due to many safeguards today, it has become a more universal sport for fun and entertainment.
