Hello, I'm curious if there are any home study courses that are not completely ridiculous. Ideally something with graded levels. Before you burst into laughter... I'm in my 40s and am mainly interested in doing this for fun.I have a busy life and a number of physical activities I can't swap out for martial arts (i.e., we do stuff as a family and no one else has any MA interest). My free time tends to be at times when no MA studio is open - e.g., 5am. I have studied several martial arts but never particularly deeply because I've moved a bit. Six months each in two different styles of kung fu, purple belt in Kenpo. It's not vital to me how "effective" what I learn is. In fact, I wouldn't mind something that included a kata portion. I would like something with a belt system, as having goals to strive for keeps me motivated. After a bit of googling, I've seen: - Stephen K Hayes - Richard van Donk - Shintai Ryu - Shorin Ryu ("Kobukan Karate") - American Kenpo Legacy ("Arnis") - not sure if they are still in business I'm curious if (a) all home study courses are a joke (b) there is something good I've missed © anyone has opinions on the above
