Which martial art style makes use of the whole body as a weapon?
I can%26#039;t think of any style that limits itself to just the hands and feet. Elbows, knees, shoulders, hips, headbutts are pretty common in all the styles I%26#039;ve trained in.
Reply:Bagua maybe? with its use of rolling body movements, shoulder barges/forearm pushing etc or jujitsu with its locks/holds.
Reply:Most Wushu internal styles like Tai Chi for example usually use shoulders and forearms along with the usual fist, foot, elbow and knee strikes. The head is also used in some styles, though these are usually external styles that go hand in hand with Iron fist training. Muay Thai also has a great arsenal of weapons in it%26#039;s striking techniques.
Reply:I think Taichi and Shaolin Kung-Fu!
Reply:it%26#039;s sholin kung fu . ,black martial arts
Reply:I%26#039;d have to say Muay Thai.
Reply:Traditional Karate. (Tode-jitsu)
Reply:all of them.





your power comes from your entire body (most of it anyway) if your teacher is teaching you right.
Reply:Ninjutsu and to-shin do. I%26#039;m not sure about other arts because these are the only two I actively study. I believe them to be the best.
