Marshal arts?

Question

I want to start a marshal art. can anybody recommend any or tell my about the different styles i could do, for example i know some are about defense and some are about attacking, well i think.

Answer 1

Try asking Marshal lol j/k!



I would suggest trying out different MARTIAL art classes in your area. They usually would allow you to sit in and watch the first session for free.



See which one appeals to you.

Answer 2

The truth of the matter is that all "traditional" martial arts have both offensive and defensive charicteristics. The are defnsive in the fact that you do everything you possibly can to avoid a fight, but when you are forced into it they become very offensive. The one possible exception I know of is Akido, which is totally dfensive.



Most of the time, unless it is one of the top contributers, you cannot totaly trust what people tell you on here. Most will say the style they train is the best, or what they see on tv such as in the UFC, and the truth is many have no actual experience. The best advice I can give you is this, and that's to take these steps:



1) Search the yellow pages or google to find out what is availible in yoru area that you can get too.



2) Go to this link: http://www.bullshido.com/articles/findin...



They have a good list on finding a good school.



3) Visit each school in your area, comparing how it matches up against the list. Watch more then one class.



4) Narrow your choices using that list. The only thing left is to decide what you want out of Martial Arts, and which school will be best for giving you that.



Not to be rude but if you cannot muster the energy and discipline to at least do these things, you probably are not going to stick with any style for long, as any that train effectivly are hard and require dedication.

Answer 3

You for sure do no longer know lots approximately martial arts classes. They prepare self-discipline, warding off violence, etc. I even have the two been in such classes as properly as having babies bypass by way of those classes. employing what you learn how to harm human beings is likewise under pressure as a final hotel. So, for that reason, you are the single that doesn't understand. replace: honest factor approximately gun classes. regrettably, no longer each takes them. If gun classes such as you describe, have been needed for each gun proprietor, then we would see some thing extra advantageous.

Answer 4

Karate is quick movements. Tae-Kwon-Do is putting your body into the moves more. Kick-boxing is the same sort of movements as karate but less 'traditional' movements if you know what I mean. There are also different types of fighting styles with small variations. e.g Wado-Ryu is a style of Karate



P.S It's spelt Martial

Answer 5

My daughters do Ju-Jitsu, a cross between judo and karate, they get to use all kinds of weapons for defence and have a lot of fun. I think you'll find that all marial arts concentrate on defence rather than attacking and they all promote discipline, respect and fun.

Answer 6

It just depends on what your going to use Martial Arts for? self defense? to be honest there is no better martial arts for anybody all martial arts teach you how to defend yourself and how to attack but just in different ways in my opinion just pick which one you think would be best suited to you

Answer 7

Taekwondo, kick boxing, karate etc are attacking but involve elements of self defence.

Jiu Jitsu, Judo etc are about throws and shifting momentum (more defendse focused).

Answer 8

Kickboxing is great, but demands quite a high level of fitness, however it is great for taking out aggression but also learning agile technique- basically you kick and you punch
