How to choose the right martial arts school and style ?
A good well rounded style would be freestyle Karate.You will learn stand up,ground,grappling and weapons.What a lot of people don't understand is that freestyle Karate is about practical street defence not who can kick the highest or punch a pad the hardest.It's definitely not a sport martial art like TKD or BJJ.The motto of my style is the best of everything in progression.Basically that means we don't care where the technique comes from we improve it and integrate it into our style while still maintaining tradition as do most freestyle Karate's.


The hardest thing is finding a good experienced instructor.I would recommend Bushi Kai or Zen Do Kai, but if your not in Australia or New Zealand you may have some difficulty finding some one who teaches these styles.These styles also usually have separate classes available to everyone in Muay Thai and BJJ/Submission/Shoot wrestling.If you can't find one of these i would suggest Kempo or Enshin or another freestyle Karate.

Reply:Dude. I think you've got to find a place that does mixed martial arts or MMA. It combines elements of all fighting styles. It's the latest greatest thing. Have you ever watched a UFC fight? An MMA fighter can't be beat by any other fighter that focuses on a single style. MMA teaches you striking techniques and grappling. It makes you a more well rounded fighter. I wrestled in High School and there was no such thing as MMA back then but if I was younger I would be learning MMA for sure. Do a search on the internet. You'll find something locally I'm sure. Go for it !
Reply:First DON'T DO MMA TRAINING TO START. I know the first answer said to but in reality most people who go straight into MMA training end up not as good as they could be(even the big MMA camps will eaither start you in Grappling or strikeing for 6months to a year before you do the other stuff) What ends up happening is you stunt yourself in Both areas.





It's really hard to tell someone what Martial art is right for them. I don't have any idea what you look like or how your built so you could be better at Boxing then muay Thai or Karate rather then Kickboxing. Wrestling rather then Jiu Jitsu. I really can't tell you. But you picked two good chocies so what you need to do now is do some reserch on the places in your area that teach theses styles and go from there.
Reply:try boxing





if you want more try muay thai





if you want submision also do judo and boxing or muay thai at the same time cross training is good
Reply:there are so many choices when it comes to martial arts and the right style you want to go for a chinese style or muay thai as they are more practical for the street and as for finding out if they are any good ask the actual students of the school im sure they would be willing to tell you http://starturl.com/martial-arts
