Ghø§t Posted August 16, 2007 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) I wanna do a new martial art... Taekwondo is boring. xD I wanna do one that's more spiritual and more focused than Taekwondo, but I wanna MA that also is pretty physical and teaches you alot. After 7 years I got my black belt... and it's the real deal too, certified by Kukkiwon meaning that I'm now eligable to join the Olympics. But I'm tired of TKD like I said... does anyone have any suggestions as to what MA I should join? Remember, I want a MA that's more about concentration and all that stuff... But I also wanna kick some *ss. I was thinking about Kung Fu but it's illegal. Edited August 16, 2007 by __Ghost__ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxymoron Posted August 16, 2007 #6 Share Posted August 16, 2007 When I mean MA I meant martial art... Mauy Thai seems cool but im not sure.. It has been called the most pure and most effective stand up fighting system in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostar Posted August 17, 2007 #13 Share Posted August 17, 2007 "more spiritual and more focused" Well for that id say one of the older martial arts, Shotokan would be good because it CAN be traditional, but depending where you are the sensei vary on their methods, i do shotokan and ever sensei which iv rained under is totally different from the other ! try meybe Brazilian jujitsu, 9 out of 10 fights go to the ground you know, judo is also good or maybe even akido.

Ghø§t Posted August 17, 2007 Author #19 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Something in between a soft and hard style.. or one that has both would be good... I'll read up on all of your suggestions guys. xD ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capoeiranger Posted August 17, 2007 #20 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Try Chinese martial art like San Shoo or perhaps Ba Ji Quan, however it takes a loot of practices and you'll have to concentrate more, but seriously, both are powerful. On another opinion, I joined Capoeira for 3 years and I feel satisfied about it. I also learned a great deal of musics, philosophy, Brazilian history and most of all, it's the most fun martial arts I ever do, as one of the rules on a ring is that you have to maintain a SMILE! Yet you can still tackle you opponent down if you want to. It even goes along with you TKD history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghø§t Posted August 17, 2007 Author #21 Share Posted August 17, 2007 True. xD Have you seen that movie "Only the Strong"? My TKD instructer was in that movie >< He was in the basketball scene and he was also the welder who tried to kill the main good guy. Lol he always jokes about how he whooped the main dude's ass in a sparring session. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bLu3 de 3n3rgy Posted August 18, 2007 #22 Share Posted August 18, 2007 (edited) I started Aikido when I was around 10 years old. I don't remember much other than how to put someone on there a***.. Edited August 18, 2007 by Anvil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghø§t Posted August 18, 2007 Author #24 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I don't know... the easy part is picking a type of MA.. the hard part is actually finding an instructer and finding out how much he/she charges. xD I'm thinking about all your suggestions guys.. thanks alot. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostar Posted August 19, 2007 #25 Share Posted August 19, 2007 True... I was thinking of learning Aikido and Judo... I might take that into consideration. Thanks.
