Any OTHER MA you would like to learn?.....


Recommended Posts

We all believe our own sytem/style is the best (of course) but what other MA would you like to learn if you had the time & $$? I would love to learn Hapkido! I had a small brush with it years ago with a former instructor. It is geared more to actual self defense and covers many effective techniques-throws,locks,chokes along with kicks & punching. Plus-there are no forms to learn! Kick boxing also-unfortunately, we have only TKD schools here in my little town & one Shotokan school.

I've done kickboxing for a year, I feel confident enough to defend myself against the average thug, I'm now learning BJJ which I enjoy more than kickboxing. I'd like to learn anything that will help me in a confrontation on the street, I'm not interested in sport-orientated MAs. I will take up another striking art along with BJJ again once I'm out of school (my last year), I don't have enough time to train formally 5-6 days a week.

 

 

It takes sacrifice to be the best.


There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.

Hiya Oldrookie.

 

I agree. If I started a new style, it would have to be Hapkido. When I studied Tang Soo Do in my old dojang, we learned Hapkido self defense on top of TSD forms and one-step sparring. I thought it was the perfect combo of Arts.

 

Unfortunitely, where I live now (Rochester area of NY) there aren't any Hapkido dojangs :bawling: So I picked TKD because it's the closest Art to TSD. Plus, the people in this school played a big part in me choosing this school. Eventhough it's not a "traditional" version of TKD, the way they train is very traditional. And everyone is so friendly.

 

So, if I did decide to take another art, the dojang itself would play a big part, too.

Well I would like to take karate again and finish it instead of leaving it and then later on going to kickboxing/ muay thai.
