i kickbox and am looking for something to crosstrain with. my problem is that i dont know what most styles do. is there a website where i can watch demonstrations so i can understand the different arts better?

Here are a few:

 

http://www.kickboxing.com

 

http://www.martialarts.com/martial-arts-styles/styles.htm

 

http://www.martialartsinfo.com

 

http://www.martialinfo.com/MartialMainFrame.htm

 

The second link has a few sites listed with quicktime video clips as far as "watching" styles. You may want to rent some videos or go to your library to get some for viewing otherwise the sites I have listed have some pretty thorough information compiled on them.

Simply a video of the art in motion? I have some up at mine http://www.clearsilat.com/silat/Multimedia/index.htm

SV,

 

I posted a URL for an American Kenpo site that had MPEG files showing some of their self defenses. I posted it under the General MA section.

nice links kickchick.

.. better late than "never", thanks Mike!

wow! i didnt realise they were from last year! yeah that was quite late hehe! thank you Link Queen!

Personally I'd advise adding a grappling art to round off your fighting style (Judo if you're sport-oriented, BJJ if you want an effective street style, Aikido if you like the idea of the martial-arts tradition).

 

I did see a site a while ago with video files of a ton of Judo moves (I DLd them, so deleted the bookmark) - if I can find it again I'll post the URL

It is an ok instructional area of American Ninja (lol) But I very much so do respect sensei tew and I may even someday also train under him I have heard great things of him from 2 different masters and have great respect for him his program is not a cookie cutter program he really puts one on one work with you and they do teach alot of REAL ninja skill so if you do not have the luxury of a private instructor and are interested in Ninjitsu check it out

 

Some nunchaku instruction videos on there also he has at home programs but I don't know if I buy the quality of those soo up to you just tryin to help

 

And whatever art you do choose Enjoy it and guard it.
