Question 1.

I want to learn either of or combination of capoeira, kung - fu, tae kwon do, is learning these martial arts from the internet at just practicing in the backyard or at a gym with a punching bag or something daily effective, if it is can someone reccomend some good websites to go to that are FREE, where i can learn them. If its only half effective or something, i don't care as long as it is somewhat effective. FREE is of greatest importance.

Question 2.

Can a professional wrestler beat an professional martial artists, i mean wrestling is different from martial arts, so is it still possible to compare, martial art focuses on speed, and accuracy i think and to me wrestling is focusing on strength and stamina, am i right?

Question 3.

"Which martial art is" the simplest to learn?

" " most difficult to learn?

Please answer all questions at once, not three people answering one question each or sumthin.Because i wanna award someone with best answer :).

1. ... Don't be so stingy. If you've got the time to learn something like this, then that means you've got the money to at least pay for legitimate classes. Learn it PROPERLY, or don't learn it at all.

2. No, it's not possible to compare (technically). I'm partial towards the wrestler since I love wrestling, but I like martial arts, too. For wrestling, it depends on what type you're talking about. Lucha libre (in Mexico) or X-division (TNA) focuses on stamina and speed whereas WWE-like stuff focuses on stamina and strength. If you're talking about amateur wrestling, it's very rounded in everything, but I didn't enjoy it much. Pro has a much greater vibe to it and is more fun. By the way, to be a good wrestler or martial artist, it's ideal that you should be highly rounded in all aspects.

3. I have no idea from your list of martial arts.. however, I'm going to make an inference that maybe kung-fu and/or tae-kwon do would be easier since they're more widely known. It's all subjective anyway. What one person thinks is hard can be totally easy for someone else to pick up. You shouldn't be aiming for "easy" anyway!

1) At the beginning, pick 1 & stay with it at least for several years. While you can probably learn some from the internet etc, i strongly reccomend that you find a good instructor. Don't look for the cheapest, frequently you get what you pay for. On your own, you will not get feedback to corect errors, nor will you get the spiritual part of the art.

2) Again, it's not the art, it's the artist. The best fighter will win.

3) Depends to some extent on what you mean by learn. You can learn some basics fairly easily, no one every really learns everything. Learning isn't a goal, it's a process. I don't know which style is the easiest, but Tai Chi is probably the most difficult to learn enough to be able to use it. This is not meant as a knock on the style, it is just extremely complex & relies a lot on pressure points (dim mok) which takes a very long time to learn.

You ask many questions.
Please let me give you some advise.
You must learn martial arts from a teacher. You must have partners to work out with. Anything else is just imitating not learning.
Go find a good school, do not focus on a style. Visit all the schools in your area and join the one that has the highest quality level of training.

Tips:
Never pay for rank testing
Never sign a contract

i can only answer q3.

There are some cool marital arts that dont really need any effort like naunchaku or sword fighting.......... but why do u want the simplest?? why cant u do something that can improve your strenght and stamina?? there are other good arts like taekwondo,karate and kung fu. they all need time and discipline but you can come with a great result.

I hope that satisfies you. and i hope you become talented in any martial arts.
