thanks, ill take Shotokan/Lau gar with Aikido if i can or have enough money lol, hopefully i can find a good quality place thats cheap. im know somebody said there are many Lau Gar places in grimsby (sorry i 4got ur name) but i cant find any on the net, does anyone no n e Lau Gar places in my Area that i can go and check out? Thanks you're all being really helpfull, i appreciate it!

wow thanks! would it be wise to do both Shotokan and Lau Gar, or maybe do Shotokan/Lau Gar with Aikido?

lol thanx EDIT (and yes i no..... i quoted myself lol) from saying this i think i have narrowed it down to two Shotokan or Lau Gar I think they suit my style, so i have narrowed it down a lot lol yaay

i no there is no such thing as a best style, but i just want to now a style that would suit what i would like to do. if i joined i wouldnt say it was the best, i would say its the best FOR ME.... good advice thanks, when i can ill look around some of the schools/dojos to see the best one after i find a style i can look at different schools teaching that style and its just that i would like my style to have a balance of punches and kicks, not be too competition based and i dont care if it takes years to learn, i want it to be self deffence based and be effective in fights but look as good as it can lol but the latter isnt really that important lol

id like a little competition but not heavyily based, i dont care if it takes years to learn, Self defense, Effective techniques, maybe just a little flashy lol

wow, i didnt know there were so much available in my area!!!!! guess i can keep my options quite wide, yay! lol but im still not sure what to take.....hmmm

honestly im not too sure because i never really noticed till lately, it was something that popped into my head "I wanna start martial arts!" lo and its summat am gonna stick to .... i no ther are karate, shotokan,Chin-na Kuen Kung Fujudo, judo and Tai Chi available and i found a website for a UK Listing but i dont now if its close, although i think it is http://www.ukontheweb.net/directory/showsites.asp?catid=508&maincat=&cat=Martial+Arts+Instruction&parentcat=&parentname=

sorry, thats something i forgot, (two dot? lol) i live in the United Kingdom, Grimsby if uve heard of it lol. I know ill have to go to a school in the local areas but i really want to know my best suited style lol, plus.....grimsby sucks lol

thanx, im open to any more suggestions from other members but will definately look up shotokan, is it effective in real fights? (not that i am planning any lol)

Hi, i'm new. I am wanting to start a martial art style. the problem is: Choosing one. i want an art that involves varied, fast moving punching and kicking (i was considering taking taekwondo but realised it was mainly kicking and i prefer to throw punches aswell ) and obviously good, usefull techniques. i am 14 . I am around 6ft tall and i am of medium build. I have never taken martial arts before, please reply. Thanx for your help Kirt
