Para.2 The Martial arts are often referred to as either soft or hard, These terms imply a way of dealing with your opponent's force, Soft martial arts, such as tai chi, teach you to use your opponent's own force to defend yourself. Soft styles use fluid movements and timing to avoid, deflect and redirect their opponent's attacks. These martial arts are soft for the defender but not for the attacker! On the other hand, hard styles, such as kung fu, teach you to defend yourself using force. Techniques involve blocking, posturing and powerful punching and kicking. Hard martial arts techniques are more effective if you are more skillful, more powerful and faster than your opponent.
