i%26#039;ve joined taekwondo for about 4 years.. i am a smooth-mannered person.. i%26#039;m thinking of joining karate but, i admire the aikido%26#039;s principle of peace %26amp; calmness.. so, if can(optional), please list both martial arts advantages %26amp; disadvantages as well.. any kind opinion will be appreciated toO (^_^) thanks|||It depends SO MUCH on the dojo and sensei you train under.
A sensei or other students that don%26#039;t mesh with what you like will make any martial art a chore and you%26#039;ll probably drop it.
Both Aikido and Karate are best when you train lots and for a long time, so you better like where you are.
I HIGHLY recommend you try each one out for about 2-3 months to see how you like it, and try other dojos in the area. If the sensei is worth his salt they won%26#039;t mind you coming in for a short stay.
I won%26#039;t say one style is better than the other because all martial arts eventually lead you to the same goal.|||freestyle karate,it involves stand up and ground/grappling.or do aikido and karate,but why do 2 when you can learn the same stuff at
one place?|||It depends on what you want to do...
If you like grappling, pressure points, submissions, then choose aikido.
If you like striking, chops, kicks, etc... then various forms of Karate (Tae-kwon-do, tang-su-du, etc...)|||Personally, as you%26#039;ve already done Tae kwon do, which in essence is allot like Karate with the kicks and punches , why not try Aikido . Where you%26#039;ll get more one on one with an opponent , defending and transferring energy towards the attacker..!|||karate it is the easyest if you are a beginer and do not chose tigers paw chose eagles claw|||Aikido is a circular, defensive martial art. You don%26#039;t learn how to hurt people, you learn how to defend yourself. It%26#039;s mandatory training for female Japanese police officers; they learn how to disarm a foe, how to throw them, and how to deflect attacks. But if you want to know how to punch and kick...not for you.
Karate...well, there are hundreds of kinds of Karate, but they%26#039;re all direct styles of fighting that involve punching and kicking. Expect to toughen up your skin - Eastern-style Karate will leave you with bruises after every session. Western-style Karate not so much so, but you%26#039;ll still be punching and kicking nonstop. In that respect it%26#039;s probably the most similar to Tae Kwon Do, which you say you practice already.
Either one would be good to learn; personally, if you know Tae Kwon Do, I%26#039;d go with Aikido for the variety; Karate is too similar to Tae Kwon Do (although it doesn%26#039;t have the obsession over kicking).
