Ranpu Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I would probably go for Jiu-Jitsu, but I would also like to try out a weapons martial art. I cannot prevent the wind from blowing, but I can adjust my sails to make it work for me
bub4444 Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Well since I have Shotokan for standing, and Judo for clinch (and some ground), I'd probably go with Jujitsu for more focus on ground. I also think Kendo would be cool, and I hear it is similar to Shotokan in some ways (the rhythm and such).
Lupin1 Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 I would say judo or jujitsu to have more options on the ground if a fight gets there (not that I expect to be in too many fights...). It just seems like it'd be a good compliment. Although it would be fun to study Kung Fu or Baguazhang or even Tai Chi at some point (with a defense focus and not just like a dance like most people treat it) just because it's just so different than Karate it'd be interesting to see the different techniques and be able to suppliment what I learn from Karate with such a different style.
wildman1717 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Definitely Judo would be my first pick, though Escrima would be my second.I do judo and love it, if you get a chance I highly recommend it.
wildman1717 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I do judo and tkd I would like to do either jujitsu, whether its gi or no gi. I use to do some boxing and would like to do it again.
WireFrame Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I'm seriously tempted to try Tai Chi... or some kind of movement-centric martial art, but I've no clue where to find THAT kind of thing.
DWx Posted February 24, 2010 Author Posted February 24, 2010 I'm seriously tempted to try Tai Chi... or some kind of movement-centric martial art, but I've no clue where to find THAT kind of thing.Problem I found with Tai Chi is that you have to look hard to find a teacher who isn't just teaching it as a recreational activity as opposed to martial art.

Toptomcat Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 What exactly do you mean by 'movement-centric'?
WireFrame Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Something that focuses on evasion and movement. Like Ba Gua or some other chinese art. To contrast with and complement my Shotokan which has more of a focus on strong stances and power.
