Kodakmint Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 I would like to start training in a second discipline, and was wondering if anybody could add any input, my first martial art is American freestyle karate.

Wastelander Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Do you want to train a second martial art for effectiveness or for art? If effectiveness, then judo or jujutsu. If art then I would say probably aikido.

Liver Punch Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 If an adult wrestling program exists in the area, that would be number 1 on my list. Beyond that would be BJJ, Judo/Sambo, and Krav Maga "A gun is a tool. Like a butcher knife or a harpoon, or uhh... an alligator."― Homer, The Simpsons
DWx Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 What styles are available in your area? No good us suggesting something that you'll have to drive hours on end to find the nearest school that teaches it Also what are you looking for out of your 2nd art? Are there any areas where American freestyle karate is lacking or areas you want to improve on. What do you like doing? What do you want to do more of?Just trying to get an idea of what you want otherwise we'll all just end up listing styles we want to train in or our favourite styles.

Kodakmint Posted June 6, 2012 Author Posted June 6, 2012 Good question, BJJ, shotokan, aikido, tae Kwan do, iaido, and shorin ryu.
