I've practiced Karate and Drunken Kung Fu in the past, but Tae Kwon Do is my major art. I've gotten to black belt in Chung Do Kwan, and I'm a currently a blue belt in Moo Duk Kwan.
I'm 5'11" and 154 pounds. Most of my weight is distrbuted in my lower body, and my legs are pretty long.
I know trying a grappling art is a good idea, but I haven't decided which one I want to take after I get my black belt in Moo Duk Kwan.
Which do you suggest and why? Hapkido?Jujutsu?Sambo?Aikido?Judo?

I am wanting to learn some kind of style of martial arts, I just cant make my decision on what style. I am trying to choose a style that would be best fit for law enforcement being thats the field I am in. I would like to learn a style that uses non deadly tactics more a style to simply disable your opponents without severe consequences severe injuries; or something that won't get in trouble if I use it.

As with humans, one way to restrain animals is by grappling and pinning, but animals tend to bite. How do you improvise an equipment that can be used to shield one's hands from damage?

Ok, my Tae Kwon Do instructor just moved back and I haven't been able to go to classes for atleast a year. He doesn't think that he will be able to start the class again because he has back problems and can't kick very good anymore. I"m a yellow belt and it only took me a few days to memorize 1-5 spars, and 1-5 keybons(sorry about the spelling). I was just wondering if it would be ok if I offered to help him out with the class since all he would have to do is spend a week with me tops to get me back into it and know how to do it that way I can continue my training and so that all the other kids and adults that were in that class continue their training?

I am feel very clumsy and confused as to which way or what I am supposed to throw or be thrown. I have studied martial arts for a good portion of my life, and had great success in Shotokan and Judo. I have heard that Aikido is the most difficult to learn, should I stick it out or return to Judo? thanks in advance.

All schools are relatively close, but what are your thoughts? I know it is all about whether the Sensei (s) are good teachers, but what else? what about self defense? I took Judo for about 1 1/2 years and am very new to Aikido.. thanks in advance for any of your comments. Also, what about for kids? My girl is 5 and I want to put her in one of them..

Do you care about the philosophy behind the art you are studying or are you only into the physical aspect of it?

Is your goal to become a better overall person or to become a better overall fighter?

Do you prefer newer modern styles that focus on ‘results’ or do you prefer the more ancient arts which focus on long term study?

Do you intend to use you skills for monetary or other personal gain besides that of spiritual growth?

What specifically are your long term goals in your studies?

used to say to me "throw them hard " whilst teaching students , i did not agree with him then as i do not now , i think my students learn just as well without me breaking their butts .I like to think i am showing them what they can do rather than what i can do , i just wondered if anyone else has come across a similar problem . i mean now that i think of all the injuries i have accumulated , over the years , i tend to think i could have learned just as well without the no pain no gain thing ,
