But if you just earned your black belt you've just begun. Why quit now?

I study Uechi-Ryu and it is a very pratical art and more kung fu than karate. It's well suited for my needs. I hear people make comments like yours all the time and wonder why they want to stop one art and stop another. I'm at a point where I'm starting to learn about other arts and learn from them to complement my Uechi not replace it. But that's just my opinion.

Good luck in whatever you do.

I'm doing GoJu ryu karate and like it very much, I tried other three MAs (see signature) but in one way or another GoJu ryu karate is the art that fits me more.

We do kihon, kata, grappling, sparring, bunkai it is very rich and has various aspects, this is what I like the most about it.

Well, Im sure you could answer this question by looking at the poster's list of styles he trains in, so I'll change it up a bit.

Some of my favorite martial arts to watch include Muay Thai, Kali/Escrima knifefighting, Savate, San Shou, and wrestling.

Muay Thai matches are very entertaining to watch- there was this huge venue over in Atlantic City this weekend called battle at the boardwalk, and I think it pretty much featured every martial art you could find.

The Muay Thai matches were great- I like them so much more than boxing- there isnt a fight for 12 rounds- they go out there and try to kill each other in the first minute.

Knife fighting is fun to watch just because they're so precise with what they want to do- its the only martial art that I would conceed has the possibility of defending multiple attackers

Savate is like muay thai, minus the knees and elbows

San Shou is also like muay thai, except they add takedowns- you get points for taking your opponent to the mat when you clinch up, although the match is restarted back on the feet (there is no groundwork).

Wrestling is also very fun to watch because its very fast and very dynamic- I get to see guys with good takedowns work on putting the other on his back. Since I like takedowns in wrestling, Im partial towards freestyle wrestling moreso than folkstyle.

though its mostly for self defense.

I also like Bagua Zhang, Xing Yi, and Da cheng Chuan(chinese styles)

Yeh, Kajukenbo will give you a different approach to your training- more self-defense- less of the sport. It's awesome, though not in all areas yet.

East Coast-wise I only know of schools in Ohio, Pittsburgh, and Augusta (GA)- there are more schools in the west coast areas.

oh , I thought you meant kajukenbo didnt have certain skills

we're still growing, not everyone can train for kajukenbo, you know? so, certain places will take longer to reach- not because of the place, but because of the lack of students that are willing to train in kajukenbo.
