sure I don't understand why some think its a very big deal to learn online!!

I won't say that you can't learn a Martial Art online, but I will say it will definitely be the tougher road to hoe. You won't have any immediate feedback on what your doing, which, without any experience, is going to make it tough to figure out what changes you need to make on technique. Again, I won't say its impossible, but I will say it will be very tough, and you likely won't get great results out of it until you can work with someone that has some experience and can give you some feedback. Another issue is that Martial Arts is very much an interactive thing, and you really benefit by having partners to work with on technique and application. Without a partner to work with, progression is tough to judge, as well. I wish you luck on your endeavor, and strongly encourage you to look for some kind of school to train at. Just out of curiosity, why have you chose the style you have mentioned here? You put that in a great way! I agree that martial arts in an interactive thing. I think it is obvious we have all kind of come to an agreement that you CAN learn martial arts online, but NOT in a way that is as effective as training under a teacher directly, live and in person! I would also agree with finding a martial art in your area, its probably the best way to learn effective. yeah thats sure

Just out of curiosity, why have you chose the style you have mentioned here? Thanks for advise I understand your point, but I have no choice, unless I won't practice martial art, until I have to wait long time as I mentioned the reason above? so I decide to begin now, something for beginner, until I move to another country, and have a free time to see the school there, which will take a lots of time as for the martial art, I am intrested in a martial art that have some spiritual background, and especially on Buddhism, and in the same time, I like the Korean style more, thats the reason I choose Sonmudo

yes, I think that, but I have no choice..long time ago, I was promising my self to begin martial art, but I didn't, and currently, I am staying in a country, which banning woman to practice martial art as I mentioned before I will document my training online...will begin today my first one Thanks for information

sunmudo looks to me like it's somewhere between shaolin kung fu an taekkyon, with some yoga thrown in. I guess you could start by training online for a month or two, to get in shape, build flexibility and balance (that video seems o.k. for that, but the Master Woo taekwondo that was recommended seems a better option, just less similar to sunmudo). Start finding out what's available in the area you will be moving to, and try out the most interesting ones when you get there. edit: didn't pay attention and asked a question that was already answered. removed now. Thank you very much its really a beneficial post!!! Sonmudo is really related to taekkyon and Kung fu??? I didn't know that why do you think Taekwondo is less smiliar to Sonmudo than Kung fu? I am not sure, but I was thinking the opposite Thanks...I will take your advise, and will begin with that Video I don't know if its actually related to taekkyon or kung fu, it just looks similar. It's softer an more fluid than shaolin however, despite a lot of the techniques looking similar. More like an internal chinese martial arts such as tai chi. The way its done in sunmudo reminds me just a little bit of yoga. taekwondo is a korean martial art derived from taekkyon, but it is strongly influenced by shotokan karate and probably contains more elements from that. because of this it has a lot of sharp movements. The sunmudo I saw was much more fluid. for contrast - taekwondo - sunmudoif anyone's more experienced with any of the things I'm talking about, please let me know if I'm off the mark. Thank you very much yes its seems true...sonmudo is more similiar to kung fu than taekwondo but I feel, there might be some other Korean Martial art more close to Sonmudo than Kung Fu? because I feel it has more Korean style than Chinese, though I am not experience in martial art

deep philosophy..thanks for sharing though, my main reason to practice martial art, is not to defend my self, i am looking more to improve my health, and to advance my buddhist practice i know, that kung fu is good for this thing, but i don't like the chinese style, i like korean style more I was thinking about kuk sool won, but its too, not that available From what I have heard, kuk sool won is similar to hapkido (though I don't have experience with either). If you can find a hapkido school that may be a nice idea. Thanks for the information...I didn't know that Kuk Sool Won is similiar to Hapkido! yes, Hapkido does have school in the new area I will move to..may be its nice idea to join it

Thanks you very much great advise I am aware, that learning online, whether its effective or not, its quite subjective thingy..its more depend on the person, rather than 1 + 2 = 3 Thanks

which martial art, the most, associated with buddhism other than kung fu? that is also available online, and in real

I hear you, a little paranoia goes a long way. Just don't lose sight of the fact that the world is full of good people. The good guys largely outnumber the bad guys !!! yeah sure...right

thanks for your advise I understand what you mean picking a common martial art is easier but I always like to pick something not common, thats my passion but i know, that i have to give up, if no solution reached

thanks for the link and advise I also think that

do you advise me to begin with this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLe2-whXgkw though I think Kung Fu is not similiar to this one

^this you can use dvds and online videos to supplement your regular training and look for ideas, but it can never replace training with an instructor and with training partners. If the style that most interests you is not available in your area, look for similar martial arts. Better yet, look into a variety of martial arts in your area. Pick a number of different nearby styles and try a lesson of each one. edit: just watched some videos, if you really want to do something similar I'd start with some kung fu and sport wushu schools. They seem the closest thing. yeah I understand that online couldn't replace real teacher, but currently, I stay in a country, where woman not allowed to practice martial art, after one month, I will move to another country, where its available some of the martial art, but I am sure not this one, Sonmudo thats the reason I am looking for online what you suggest me, to begin training for something similiar to this martial art??? for beginner I think Kung Fu is not similiar to this one...am I right? I am not experienced any way... Thanks
