Best Answer

The Taoists are given credit for creating Tai Chi Chuan which is an internal Martial Arts style. The Taoists use martial arts in a very similar way to the Buddhists of Shaolin Temple. That is that the Taoists use the martial arts as a form of moving meditation, a method for cultivating chi, a way to keep their bodies in good physical condition, and they generally practice Tai Chi Chuan in order to teach themselves how to live and move more in harmony with Tao.

What types of martial arts teach discipline?

All kinds of martial arts teach discipline, because without discipline, you cannot learn true martial arts. Whether or not you actually achieve any discipline from studying martial arts, has nothing to do with the art itself, but is determined by the attitude presented by the master/sifu/sensei of the dojo, and by yourself. If you study at a serious dojo, then such things as discipline, power, improved health and harmony will present itself to you during the expanse of training. Martial Arts without discipline = trouble..


I am a black belt but i don't want to make a commitment?

Ok, so your a black belt but don't feel like devoting your life to your martial art, that's fine, but if you don't want to make a comitment tell your teacher about it and explain why, don't rush it, chill. Martial arts is a sport not your life.


Is kungfu a part of karate?

The term "Kung Fu" describes the martial arts of China, and there are literally hundreds, possibly over a thousand different empty-hand, and weapon styles. Karate refers to an Okinawa martial art that spread from there to Japan, Korea and the rest of the world. It is my personal opinion, Karate is better for modern day life because it takes less time to master and include more strikes then a lot of basic Chinese martial arts. If you want to become a martial arts master and a human weapon, then I would say Kung Fu, because of the enormous volume of styles available to you. Granted that you find a competent teacher.
