Well thats wank.. I cant find any actual info on Tang So Do patterns online either.. They all just want you to buy their book rolleyes

Also your poll is BS razz Styles aren't better or worse than each other, its the stylist that counts. Especially between arts that are so similar...

That is true of course. Its the artist not the art. They are similar, with one major difference. TAng soo do is more about self defense and protecting one self, but japan has a long history of war for honor and therefore karate is more offensive. That is just my opinion on the matter. I tend to prefer using tang soo do to karate, but maybe They will balce out as i continue to learn.

That is interesting, because shorinji kempo is Japanese, but is based on self defense and not causing permanent harm to others. Although it was influenced quite a lot by China i believe, so that could be why

Well I don't know anything about that style, but it could be that it was inspired by Budist monks or someother peaceful force. KArate is more of a samurai/warrior class kind of thing. I know there are a few japaneese arts that focus on not harming anyone, but the ones i have read about are basically alternatives to the more viloent styles and are developed because of a distatse for hurting people.

First of all, don't be making assumptions like this if you don't know anything about a style. Also, there is no such thing as a 'violent' style of martial art and many times you can't help but hurt someone in a confrontation. Honestly, name a style that doesn't have a single technique that will create any pain whatsoever.

I know that post wasnt directed at me specifically, but i did say "without causing permanent harm", not "without causing pain/hurting them" ^_^'' Shorinji Kempo uses pain, but we dont break bones, or gauge people's eyes out or anything like that

I ment that the the people that developed the "non harming" styles felt that the other styles were viloent. I was sort of qouting what i read, well, more like para phrasing. I was not meaning it was violent so much as i was comparing styles from the point of view of the creator. If I use the word violent it is unintenional. After all i am taking karate and Tang soo do. Why on earth would i insult them. They are arts. I work with differnt styles like differnt forms of art, and like all art it is only violent if it is seen as such.

I wasn't saying you were insulting any style, just trying to demonstrate how much bs there is in the designation of styles as 'violent' or whatnot. And that fact that you also said:

Quote:

this, to me, says that you believe karate is going to be attacking or provoking conflict more often than tang soo do, thus violent in a way. You should know that karate is about self defense and protecting oneself if you take it. Like you said earlier, 'it's the artist not the art.'

If you wanna talk about this more then PM me.
