answers1: Saying karate doesn't use physics principles shows how
little you know. <br>
<br>
There are hard and soft styles of both Kung Fu and Karate. <br>
<br>
So then since your original premise is wrong, your question is flawed. <br>
<br>
If you had two equivalent fighters, they'd be the same skill level,
not length of training, so then it'd go either way. <br>
<br>
Please educate yourself before pursuing shallow questions.
answers2: There is no such thing as a style that is 100% soft or hard.
If you take slipping,bobbing and weaving in boxing combined with
punches it becomes soft & hard. If an advance aikido practioner goes
against a tight precise punching expert, he will have to use clashing
angles and slapping techniques to intercept the strikes with tighter
circular techniques. In contrast a beginner learns long angles & large
circles that is an example of starting a soft/soft art and learning to
apply hard/soft. What many people don't know is that Aikido started in
a Chinese system known as paqua that teaches both the large circle and
small circle method. <br>
A complete fighter always works towards their opposing energy.
(Soft/hard),(hard/soft). As one ages it is the precision of both in
application that preserves skill.
answers3: souly depends on your motives, and what you wish to accomplish. <br>
<br>
kungfu is more "complex" than karate is for sure tho
answers4: kung fu work much better, at least health will get better
than karate guy for sure because Chinese kungfu also is a chinese
medic based exercise as well. Karate get you very stiff.
answers5: A long sword is no more effective than a hammer if the
swordsman have no idea on how to use it. <br>
<br>
I like kyokushin karate "the hardest karate"
answers6: Hard styles have soft parts and vice versa
answers7: The better fighter will win if there is a fight. There are
no equal practitioners. There will always be someone better, but there
is no better style. You as an individual may prefer a particular
style.
answers8: Ironically most styles of Karate have been heavily
influenced by styles of Kung Fu, especially White Crane Kung Fu. <br>
<br>
Personally I love the hard styles more. I like intensity,
explosiveness, and just beating the crap out of something. If I do
that too much though then it takes a toll on my body. To counter it I
practice soft styles such as Tai Chi, which help ease my muscles and
relax my mind while still focusing on martial aspects. Then I also
practice Japanese Jujitsu which is another external style. To counter
that I practice Qigong and study medicine. <br>
<br>
Just so you know, a lot of Kung Fu styles are external (just like
Karate). Hung Gar, Shaolin Long Fist, and Wing Chun to name a few.
There are even some styles of Karate that are internal. <br>
<br>
Who would win between hard and soft? The better practitioner. Yes, I
know you said two equivalent practitioners, but that typically means a
guy that practiced an internal art for 10 years vs a guy who practiced
boxing for 2 years. If they are equivalent then no one will win, it
would be a draw. Soft styles typically take longer to learn while hard
styles grow ineffective once the body decays to a certain amount.
answers9: It depends on the fighter .
