Differences between Chinese and Japanese Martial Arts?

[yingxuy]

I got the China Meteorological Administration and the modern Wu Shu-chen high there is any, seems a little more round, but may be a CMA, is the implementation of the most world wide Yong (Ving) Spring (Tzun), which attaches great importance to the line.

I was wondering what the major differences between these 3 types of martials arts are. In my limited experience I've always thought Japanese fighting was more rigid like the karate stances, Korean always circular like in Hapkido, and Chinese more fluid, more like Korean but not as circular and more dependent on stance...

I feel the jump from Jujitsu to Judo is a bit broader than what you are making it. I'll say more when I have some time. . . .

mmm dont know what your driving at .

BJJ is in my opinion specialised Newaza I wouldnt say it is that far removed from its Japanese roots (although this would be heresay in some quarters).

What are your thoughts mellow?

Errm I siad BJJ was derived from Jujutsu which its is via Judo my apologies.

Me no say BJJ = JJJ because it has some extra punches and kicks that Judo doesnt have......

As in a distant step cousin?

, just look at the number of Judo and BJJ (both derived from Jujutsu) clubs compared to Karate clubs.

didnt say it did

[mellow]

which in turn is derived from jujutsu

Adding strikes and kicks to Judo doesn't not make it Jujitsu (no matter how you spell it).

I would say Jujutsu was far more representative of Japanese martial arts, just look at the number of Judo and BJJ (both derived from Jujutsu) clubs compared to Karate clubs.

I do get the point about CMA looking more circular, what with the high presence of modern Wu Shu, but probably the one CMA that is practiced the most world wide is Wing (Ving) Chun (Tzun) which has great emphasis on straight lines

Fairly common misconception... BJJ is derived from Judo...
