how can u tell the diffrence between kungfu karate and kungfu? they all seem the same can anyone help|||Martial arts are any of the fighting arts. It is a generic term that can mean karate, Kung-fu, and hundreds of other types of martial arts. Karate is a general terms that describes many different styles that are either Okinawnan or Japanese. Kung-Fu is a general term used to describe hundreds of styles that are from China. There are many hundreds of other fighting arts that we have not even mentioned in this question. Yet all styles of fighting arts can be called martial arts. if you are talking about a specific type of martial arts like Karate, then there are as many as 50 different styles.
A simple way to think about it would be like this. Martial arts could be like cars. Karate might be like Fords. Yet there are many different models of Ford. Kung-fu then might be Chevrolet. Again there are many different models of Chevy. We could then use Honda to represent Korean Tae Kwon Do styles. There are many different styles of Tae Kwon Do. Yet no matter how many different makes and models of cars, they are all Cars. The same is true of Karate, Kung-fu, Tae Kwondo, .......etc. All of them are martial arts.|||karate is linear strikes, kung fu from what I understand is more of the circular movement philosophy.. supposedly karate was derived from Kung Fu, but not sure.. as this is part of the conspiracy dude was talking about.. kung fu also has more defensive locks and pressure points to it than karate.|||Well first off, Karate is from Japan and uses punches, kicks, and open or "knife hand" strikes. While, Kung Fu is from China and mimics the strikes of animals by using the fingertips, palms, nails, wrists ect. Both have controversy over where and who they originated from so i wont get into that.
