Martial arts?
I have learned karate since I was 11 years old, I think karate is the best martial art and the most original martial art in the world





I also like physics, I have read a book about karate and physics. I found that every move of karate have explanation in physics.





In my opinion, karate have so much power, even if you are a small person, you can take down a bigger person then you with your karate.





I learn karate because it was my hobby...... of course you must start from the beginner
Reply:ive done many kinds of martial arts like drunken man kung fu and chun kuk do karate and i like kung fu better because drunken man is a really fun style to learn and of course all martial arts put you as a begginer when you first start out
Reply:In my opinion, Hapkido is the most efficient and simple. It is known as not being too complicated, and it involves a lot of wrist twists to bring your opponent to the floor instantly. That it the basics of it, and once you have them on the ground, you basically win any fight. It is more of a traditional Taekwondo altered for street fights and practical situations. I would even describe it as a more intense Systema.


It is even very easy to start up because you don't need to be any sort of flexible, it just uses your opponents momentum and joint locks to flip them. Strength is not a necesity, but it will help.





Here's a rather cool video showing the intensity and speed of getting your opponent on the floor:

Reply:There are several good martial arts systems. I favor two. Tae Kwan Do, and Wing Chun Kungfu. They are the ones I know the most about. From observing other arts and having trained many students by far Tae Kwan Do is the fastest most proficient system of martial arts. Wing Chun is the most formidable and takes the longest and most dedication to become proficient.


Any art must be followed for at least black belt level to be effective. Not every art is suitable for everyone. We are all different physically and psychologically. Without knowing you personally I could not say what would be good for you.


What ever you choose will require commitment to that art sufficient to bring out the best you have to give to it.
Reply:ok, im ten, im a purple stripe, and i do tae kwon do, judo, and okinowan kobudo. in my school, there is black belt team one, black belt team two, and black belt team three, then the blackbelts. each of these are different belt levels, and therefore different classes. some classes are combind with each one. bbt 1 is no belt to green, bbt 2 is purple to blue stripe, and bbt 3 is red to brown double stripe. blackbelts are just any blackbelts. anyone can do sparing though. thats where u put on pads, and masks and stuff, then u fight. there are rules. but ya, u would be put in a beginner class, but u wouldnt be in a different school.
Reply:I have studied karate, wing chun, and most recently brazilian jiu jitsu. I feel BJJ is the best for me, you can practice almost full power without injury and its been proven against many other martial arts.
Reply:First of all by saying the word somfin you would be the resident punching dumbie " because that is what you sound like " feel me?





Yes you begin at the beginning and work your way up that's simply how it is and should be you shouldn't be a concert pianist because your father was a piano mover right?
Reply:MIXED MARTIAL ARTS IS THE BEST 2 LEARN BY FAR


SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU LEARN WHAT WOULD BE BEST IN A REAL LIFE SITUATION
Reply:i would learn sanda...because its really effective...watch it on youtube...just type in sanda and u will be amazed at how many other martial arts went up against it and lost...
Reply:I would either learn Drunken Monkey Kung Fu, Tai Chi or Jeet Kune Do





Drunken Monkey Kung Fu - reason is because it sound so cool I mean how cool does it sound DRUNKEN MONKEY KUNG FU !!!!! (I'm drunk leave me alone)





Tai Chi - reason it's slow, fluid and calm movements hides the fact that it can be an incredible deadly and brutal art.





Jeet Kune Do - Because of the philosophy that it teaches.
Reply:Japanese JuJitsu or Muay Thai Kickboxing





They are the best for self defence





and will get you bloody fit....especially muay thai
Reply:I have studied martial arts my whole life and right now i am studying combat and goishin jujtsu which are very strict and very military and very brudal arts. But if i could choose to learn anything it would be wing chung ,
