I'd like to start a new style... any suggestions for me?

[Karategurl]

I go to college... aways from my dojo. I do goju-ryu and am not sure what kind of martial arts i could do next. I would like to do judo only because you throw people around and i love the sound of it... but any suggestion would help.

I'm thinking about it as well just for fun, I'll probably make my mind up by reading everything I can get my hands on.

 

I was quite interested in Karate actually, perhaps you should try Wing Chun

Karategurl......Ive been in Goju for a very long time......One of the beauties of the style is that it is very "complete"....Im not sure what level youve achieved, but Goju is most definetely an "in close" art.....there are elements of shaolin chin na (seizing and grabbing) techniques, which are extremely similar to JuJitsu, again, an art Ive been studying for a very long time......You may find that the similarities between the systems make it easier for you to "pick up" whats going on in JuJitsu......I see on your side bio that you study JuJitsu.....is that current, or just what you badlle in, or what you want to get into ?........BTW.....Im down in NY.....if you ever wanna take a road trip.....Id be more than happy to accomodate you, and show you some techniques about Goju that you might find very interesting. In any case.....lemme know how I can help....and feel free to contact me privately if youd like.....Lata KG

Judo is great go ahead, i have yellow belt in Judo and I have learned almost 40 throws.

 

It is fun, and the feeling of throwing some one is great.

Hey, why not go ahead and try Judo then? The whole idea of tossing someone around IS pretty cool (especially so since you're actually doing it full power too). Give it a shot, Im sure you'll like it.

 

Not to be a ballbreaker, but theres a difference between learning a throw/technique and knowing/executing one.
