Yes, BJJ is more realistic for street combat. to really Make Aikido work your oponent must attack you like a crazy and then you can use there own agression against him. But Aikido to fight a persons who knows how to fight, well that's another story. thanks

Just wondering, i don't watch too much TV , but i would like to know about you people?. Ocasionally l watch "Drew Carrey Show " sometimes "Friends" and "that 70's show" and you?

I'm going to talk using my own experience as a example. When i begun on the martial arts, i wanted to learn self defense, martial arts to me were something really really great and i wanted to be involved into that. When i was studying , i started to be too much concern about Belts.. I wanted to have at least 3 Black belts in diferent systems.. I started to reserch on other styles and so. But I was too busy Looking the Belts that at one point i realized that i wasn't training hard enough.. I use my time to dream on how cool it was going to be when i had Several black belts that i didn't realized that i wasn't progresing as a fighter and as a martial artist. Now, i decided to not concern anymore about Belts.. only about training and knowlege , and let me tell you.. When you don't feel tied to a style, that allows you to REALLY learn other styles, to study better, to become a much better fighter and you feel open to learn any new technique. Now, im a free style martial artist, and Im learning from everyone And i don't feel confused with the diferents styles. Also im learning a lot about philosophy for combat and for the life. Like you said, in order to open a school you may need some certications, But as my Training partner and instructor said, " once you know all you need to know, and you are a good fighter and you are in shape , believe me that belts and certifications will come alone".. I can't be more agree with him. I've been in the arts since 1986 and i feel NOW im starting to learn the True of the Martial Arts. It's just my opinion, thanks.

There's a lot of kung Fu styles out there.. Be carefull , many people can fool you. There aren't too many secure ways to really prove if someone is a real Kung Fu styles or its a Fake. I know about people who studies several Kung Fu styles from videos and Then come up and saying that they learned that Style from an Old Ancient master and bla, bla, bla..

Boxing is great for Combat, and can fit with most of the unarmed martial arts. I think every serious self defense student must take boxing lessons.. Not only because of the punching power you can get , also for the conditioning and the touch of realism that many traditional martial arts just don't have. Thanks.

In America..Brazil , Argentina, Colombia. Mexico, and the USA. Asia.. Japan and China. Europe.. Ireland, Spain , Paris and Italy. Africa.and Sidney, Autralia. .. i wish i could have enough life to go to all those places. hahaha,
