Sens55 Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 There are plenty of books and tapes you can use to augment your knowledge in grappling. It obviously works better if you have a partner, and even better if you have an instructor. Like someone else pointed out, you might not have opportunities now, but you might if you go to college. There are some schools that will allow you to "train" with their tapes and even test for belts. Be careful, many are not that good, but there are some good ones out there. They are the ones that will point out that distance learning is not a replacement for dojo training, but is better than nothing. One that I know of is https://www.combat-ajj.com Good Luck
Treebranch Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 Depends on whether you want to ring fight or simply learn a MA. Do you want to learn weapons? Have you looked at MA that intrigue you? I would do what you are drawn to do and try not to listen to anyone's reason why you should take a particular MA. Don't believe the hype, choose one that seems a good fit to you.
