Answer 1

Show me wax on, wax off.

But seriously, there's a lot to be said for that movie.
From your other question I gather you plan on getting into a fight real soon.
The advice I gave you on the last post still stands. (And so does the advice of Mr Miyagi).

First, learn how not to get hit.
Get out of the line. To expand further, two people are facing each other. One strikes. Imagine there's a straight line being drawn to the person being struck. The first step to defending yourself is not being there by the time the strike comes. Learn to turn on your right and left foot (both! very important!) so that your body is sideways when the strike comes. You're pivoting on your front leg. Start practicing this. You can't just know it, you've got to practice it. Learn to keep your balance while doing it.
Then, if you can actually get your arm up there and block at the same time, even better. Also remember: BLOCK WITH THE INSIDE OF YOUR FOREARM. The reason is you have nothing to hurt there, no bones, muscle, or tendon.

As for becoming a pro real fast, you can't.
Try the pivoting, it might be useful to you. There are no guarantees.
Good luck.

Great goals!!! How can you become a pro real fast??!!! That’s easy! Dedicate every waking minute to training in a good camp! Is it possible? Yes! look at Michael Bisbing! When he appeared on the ultimate fighter show he only had a years worth of training and an undefeated ten and o record! The thing is not everyone can do this.
You want to learn something effective I suggest a grappling art of some sort. Striking arts take a minimum of three years to get decent at! Jiu Jitsu can have you beating people in about six months. As far as prices they vary but the more reputable an instructor the more the fees generally are. Good luck with your dream !

I don't know how long you want to train.. but I don't know of any martial arts where you become a PRO very fast. It took my senior 6 years to become a Black belt in Karate... I don't know for the other styles and martial arts.. I think you should check it out.

Answer 4

Most professional fighting organizations (but not all) require you to have several amateur fights first before they will list you on their cards or recognize you as a pro unless you are recognized as that by one of the other organizations out there. I would look for a kickboxing class or Muay Tahi class and some put on fight cards or train fighters for stepping into the ring-not just for physical fitness and conditioning. After several months of training you should be ready for your first fight with another inexperienced amateur like yourself. Avoid stepping into the ring before you are ready, or with fighters that are overly experienced until yours is at that level also. Some times amateur fights don't always take place or get canceled or you might be faced with getting matched up with someone beyond your skill and experience if your opponent cancels at the last minute or doesn't show. For me to turn pro I had to have six amateur fights and that took me two years to acquire since about half of them were canceled due to no-shows or fighters backing out. This happens much less at the pro level. If you cancel repetitively promoters won't match you or put you on their cards, organizations suspend you, and usually tell you to go fight somewhere else, especially if you no-show. So to turn pro with any sizable, recognizable organization out there you are looking at a couple of years I would think.

Answer 5

first off you cant rush it... rushing into a fight before you are ready will only get you knocked out. you havent really given me anything to go on.. but i personally find judo to be the best for me and it is much easier to pick up on then most other techniques such as jujitsu or bjj. however if you are more interested in striking then mauy thai is the way to go but that once again your not going to be really good at any of these for awhile.

Answer 6

juditsu is a great form of martial artes it focuses on taking down an opponent ive been taking for 3 years and i think it realy helps with disipline and strength

Answer 7

fasted i would say would probably be a strike and block based karate variant of some kind.

remember though...

1)you get what you pay for!!

2)you only get out what you put in!!

Answer 8

go buy a game box or even the game boy, then choose Mortal kombat. You will find all kinds of exciting moves available, and all various styles.
