tye kwan do…however you spell it
I am recommending three (3). All are combat techniques used by the special forces. Also try to view Self Defense 101 in DVD. Its simple but very effective.
1. Aikido
2. Dujitsu
3. Ninjitsu
No best style, only best school.
Please review the past questions as this gets asked about once a month.
Warning flags for “bad” schools. If a school has these traits, run away!
-Pay to join
-Contracts
-Mixed styles (Tae Kwon Do Karate ???? this is BS!)
-teacher who does not answer questions and hides his lineage
-charged for rank testing
-scheduled rank testing
-lots of ranks
-wild students behaving in an undiciplined manner
- no free classes
- no visible classes
-the title “master”
Beware there are lots of crooks out there who will promise you anything to get your money, visit every school in a reasonable area before choosing.
Taekwondo is a sport, not a martial art anymore.
No martial art is the best but if you just want to take a look, try these two koreans:
Hapkido
Sipalkido
Try a Martial Art like Tai Chi or Pa-Kua.
The best types of Martial Arts are the ones based off of many others and implement many different scenarios and ways to teach self-defense. Seido Karate has techniques and moves that can be assosiated mostly with Shotokan, Goju-ryu, and Kyokushin. And in some instances there are grappling moves, ground techniques, and fun. go to and see if there is a dojo near you.
EMC (XMA) is one of the most formidible styles they have many fighting styles. Instead of one fighting style like ninjitsu’s taijutsu they are harder to fight if you only no one style because they can throw stuff at you like monkey style which is a low and fast and has good ranged attacks unlike TKD which is a style that is short ranged.
GO WITH EMC (XMA) it is well rounded and quit formidible
Don’t look at the style. Look at how they train. If they have you stand in row and throw a punch/kick on command, multi attacker scene, roleplay where the person do perfectly as they’re told to without try to avoid or resist you, then RUN AWAY!!!
If they make you gasp for air, spar hard, do lot of pads and bag works, roll/grappling almost every night, have you do real live sparring and stuff then this is the school you want.
Those that usually do realistic teaching are following but not limited to:
Muay Thai, boxing, jiu jitsu, judo, sambo, wrestling, and few more.
It’s better if you cross train in two diferent arts.
Think about this, if you want to learn drive, would you trust someone who say they don’t teach you how to drive on street because it’s dangerous but they will teach you how to drive in a car that don’t run. Would you really trust this person to teach you how to drive?
Kenpo or Kempo
Krav maga
‘Brazilian jiu jitsu
Muay thai
