Which martial art???

[PaulMarsh]

Rather than asking which martial art I feel a better thing to do is to find the right gym to train at.

I tried various different sports before I setrtled on Muay Thai, but the gym impressed me that much that I sue the same place for boxing, even though there are plenty of other places to box in east London.

In my experience you could find the right art, but train at a bum gym, and you will not prosper....

While it is true that Tae Kwon Do is nowadays becoming more of a martial sport than a martial art (mostly because of the Federation), there are still plenty of groups that treat it as it was intended--a combat system. TKD can be just as effective in a combat situation as jiujitsu or poekoelan if it is taught correctly. All schools do not fixate on semi-contact methods. Sorry, I just had to put that out there.

I enjoy Krav Maga. I take it with my sister. It is a workout (of course you get out of it what you put in). Where I take it, they really work you on the street fighting aspect of it. I think it's fun. And good in case self-defense is ever needed. I feel more confidant about myself as a woman out there in the big wide open !

I attended a 4 and a half hour krav maga induction course yesterday. It was really good and I definately plan to attend regularly.

I used to train in KM I really enjoyed the MA because you will learn practical self-defense not sport. The reason why I stopped training is because the only school that teaches KM in the city I live in is located to far away from my house. Also, their monthly fees, rank testing fees, pre-test fees are pricey. Open up a fast-food chain. I have a family to feed-Terrell Owens
