Theres this gym that offers this in my area, the gym is very nice, they offer alot of classes even a sombo class, but the only catch is I would have to sign a 1 year contract in order to get this pakage. Do you think it is worth it for the money. Please give me your opinons.

Which martial art do you think has the best kicking techniques, besides Muay Thai? Taekwondo, Tang Soo Do, Kyokushin, Shotokan, Goju Ryu, what? Not a which style is better question, but which techniques are better, as there is a difference.

Thanks in advance.

I was taught, Colors of belts is a new thing to the last hundred years, in the previous 2000 years of martial arts the belt was darker because they didnt wash the belt so over time a white belt turned black.... is this correct with anyone elses training

I have available to take TKD (which I am taking) Hapkido, and Kumdo. The TKD is offered MWF, and I can usually catch 4 or so 1 and a half hour long classes a week (there are 6 total a week, for 40 dollars a month.) Hapkido is offered all weekdays for 40 dollars a month. Kumdo is offered MWF, for 50 dollars a month. I was thinking about taking TKD M and F, Hapkido T and T, and Kumdo on W. (Assuming my work schedule permits. Would I benefit from mixing it up like this, or should I stick with just one or 2 of them? Keep in mind that I am just starting, but I am in Korea, and these are Korean martial arts...I don't know if I will ever get the opportunity again to study KMA in Korea, or for that matter, any MA in it's country of origin.

a quick question why do people train in pyjamas ??
its not like you are gonna wear your "gee" in a fight if you say 'well it gives you flexability' then when your in a fight wearing jeans or a skirt , well that sort of wastes your time training doesnt it ? plus it looks stupid. If you are training to fight wouldnt you want to train in the clothes you actually wear in everyday life and train in a real situation that actually really happens .
like if you are attacked your not really gonna do a spinning back kick and flip around jabbing 300 times thats just not the reality of a fight so why train in something that you wouldnt really be able to do in the 'situation'

Ok, you see, I want to start jkd after about 3 years of taekwondo. I know it is a philosophy and not a style, but I am getting confused because people keep saying jkd can't be taught because it is not a style.

So is it silly for me to start jeet kune do? If someone asks me which martial art I do, do I say "I study the philosophical aspects of all martial arts", or can I just say "I do jkd"?

ps I also think that jkd HAS become a style, and it is impossible to prevent it since it is unlikely everybody will start studying martial arts philosophy.

I'm looking for a martial arts school in the Central East-Coast area, somewhere around Virginia or one of its neighboring states, that teaches its students one-on-one. I don't really mind what kind of martial art it is, but it needs to have the option of being taught individually.

Thanks.

my friend says mike tyson could beat bruce in a fight. (let's pretend they're both in their prime) i disagree. mike is stronger than bruce, however bruce is quicker, more agile, and has more skill. i know someone's gonna say it, but chuck norris would lose! it's happened many times.

Or would it end up having to be watered down too much even if it did make it into the Olympics? I think amateur bouts have no striking while on the ground, which is a unique feature of MMA.

Like it seems if you are a gymnast then flipping backwards quickly would help dodge moves. I've seen it on movies, it really inspires me.

ok im have been fascinated with the world of martial arts and i have been having the urge to take some classes and be part of some program. I want some type of martial arts that combines strong and effective punches and kicks, included round house kicks if possible, and where i am able to take out people bigger, and stronger than me. I am also 15 years old turning 16 this December and I'm about 5"6 and weigh 135pounds. I'm like skinny to medium, and i would also like the sport to include spars.

im not really an aggressive person but when it comes to fights i love them, i wont stop unless im really tired or i win or lose. Also im looking for sumthing more than karate......
