hi its me again

[Jiffy]

Check out Combat Hapkido, it is a style that has been simplified for the applicaton of self defence only. Probably ideal for what you are looking for...

Hmm well firstly everyone has a valid opinion.

Secondly, it really boils down to the individual and not necessarily their style of fighting. You need to pick the style which is "Best" in the terms of "Best for you". I personally don't know a great deal on the hapkido styles or it's derivatives. I suggest going to a few classes to watch and see if the movements and techniques are wha tyou're looking for. You should do this with all of the dojos/schools you're considering.

I totally agree. It appears that you woot are looking for soemthing that will teach you a lot real fast. Even if there was such a thing it would depend on your own natural ability to speed achieve. Personally, anything "traditional" would not be what you are looking for. You should find something that is pretty much all streetfighting. Perhaps find a real, real good streetfighter that would be willing to teach you. Just my suggestion. Good luck

honestly im not looking for something i can learn fast, im looking for something practical.

for example im in kung fu and i practise animal forms and bamboo sticks fights, how is that going to help me in a real fight? not too practical in my opinion, unless i become a samurai with a bamboo stick or something.

i dont care about taking the time to learn, i just dont want to waste my time and money in something im never going to use.

if u know about a good style, and if ur kind enaugh, i would apreciate if u could help me find a dojo/gym of that style in santiago of chile (south america)

Kung Fu animal forms are similar to other styles I've seen. The fighting aspect, like all other martial arts, boils down to you the individual. So another art may help, it may not, it depends entirely on you.

Regarding Chile I found this website, which isn't in English so I'm not sure if it will help you out (as I don't understand it): http://www.webmasterchile.cl/karatechile/

Good luck in your training.

Seriously, if you're looking for something that's going to give you what you want, I would consider something like Combat Hapkido, Kickboxing, BJJ or Kempo

whats the difference between combat hapkido and normal hapkido? the only thing i can find near me right now is something called hankido, i think its from the same familly from hapkido or something, sorry for the ignorance XD

I do believe it is similar to combat kapkido.

Combat Hapkido is more simplified and combat oriented, based on street defense situations. It utilizes distraction techniques to loosen the grip of the attacker's grip, and then facilitate the defense techniques. I have had experience with it, and I enjoyed it.
