| there ae many forms of martial arts.
they are often divided by hardness.
soft. soft/hard, hard style.
in general soft styles push/throw/trip more, and hard styles hit/strike/kick, but it also is about how much musular tension is used to do the art, and if more defense or offense if used.
they can be divided by heritage, or what most consider country who claims origin.
chinese. korean. japanese. et cetera.
usually a local school, that you can go see, without joining up, allows you the best chance to understand where is a good place to start. watch a class. see how the instructor corrects the students, and if you agree with the type of training, and correction then you can ask about cost, expectations of class amounts and time for progress, and your needs toward the school, what you need to wear, how to notify if you cannot make a class. general guidelines, if different levels of interest have different classes, so you might start in the best fit for your time schedule, and the schools. try to be ready, but if not a good fit, it is okay to go elsewhere, perhaps someday you will be ready or willing to come back to that school after you mature in martial arts more, so be polite - at all times.
you can ask the school(s) that you visit and dont want to join, advice on a school you could start at that might be easier or a better fit for you. so good luck, and be careful, it is your money, and your time, and you should make sure you spend it wisely to learn the things you want, hopefully in a reasonable way, and timeline. eawoodall |
