Japanese Karate Styles
Japanese karate styles have been created and practiced for hundreds of years. some of these styles are based off of the animal stances. Such as tiger ,crane ,dragen,etc. Another Japanese art is "kendo" , it means "way of the sword". Other Japanese martial artists have taken other art forms and created their own. They would take out the pros and cons and collaborate pros and create what they think is more effective. The list of Japanese martial arts is very vast. To pick one depends on the type of body the student has. Each art was really made for a type of body. For example an art for smaller people would be a fast and swift art such as "Karate Ryu" and bigger body type would be "Judo" a take down grappler art.
