It is a powerful technique that can launch a massive energy wave to destroy enemies or obstacles.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Kamehameha_based_on_any_real_martial_art\"><\/span>Is Kamehameha based on any real martial art?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Kamehameha is not based on any specific martial art, but it is inspired by the concept of using controlled breathing to focus and unleash power. The move&#8217;s name comes from a Hawaiian King named Kamehameha who united the Hawaiian Islands under his rule.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_some_other_martial_arts_used_in_Dragon_Ball\"><\/span>What are some other martial arts used in Dragon Ball?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Besides Kamehameha, there are several <strong>other martial arts used in<\/strong> Dragon Ball. These include the &#8220;Turtle School,&#8221; which was founded by Master Roshi and focuses on agility and speed; the &#8220;Crane School,&#8221; which was founded by Master Shen and teaches deceptive techniques such as feints and illusions; and the &#8220;Demon Clan Fighting Style,&#8221; which is used by Piccolo and emphasizes brutal strikes and energy blasts.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_Gokus_fighting_style_evolve_over_the_course_of_the_series\"><\/span>How does Goku&#8217;s fighting style evolve over the course of the series?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Goku&#8217;s fighting style evolves significantly over the course of Dragon Ball. At first, he relies heavily on his brute strength and determination, but he becomes increasingly agile and strategic as he faces tougher opponents. He also learns to harness his ki, or life energy, to create powerful techniques like the Kamehameha. By the end of the series, he has developed a fighting style that combines strength, speed, and energy attacks. <\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_there_any_real-world_martial_arts_that_people_can_learn_based_on_the_techniques_used_in_Dragon_Ball\"><\/span>Are there any real-world martial arts that people can learn based on the techniques used in Dragon Ball?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While the specific techniques used in Dragon Ball are fictional, many of the underlying concepts are rooted in real martial arts. For example, the concept of ki is similar to the idea of qi in traditional Chinese martial arts like Tai Chi. People interested in learning martial arts can find schools that teach styles that share some similarities with the techniques and concepts used in Dragon Ball.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>!
