    Don't know what to train in
    Hey people I have been thinking about taking martial arts or some kind of training of some sort. I am not sure if its martial arts I want or joining the army or something.

    Basically what I'm interested in is I want to use weapons that takes a lot of skills and very hard to train in and will drain everything out of me. Something that will make me feel that whatever I put in is not enough but yet still achievable. As much as a mental battle than a physical. Like something that preparing me for battle against the toughest enemies. Something that may or maynot involve teamwork.

    Maybe I'm in the wrong forum, please feel free to move this if this is the wrong forum.

    But any ideas?

    Hello none:

    Martial arts training today is geared towards competition in the octagon. Military training is geared towards KILLING. You ain't going to find ANY private martial arts school that'll teach you KILLING.

    If you're PREPARING to go into the military, and you want a foundation, ANY form of martial art can do that, although Brazilian Jui Jitsu trains real bad guys... The INSTRUCTOR would be the way I would judge one of these disciplines - rather than the discipline itself.

    I don't want to kill humans, so animal hunting maybe.

    But regardless I was thinking of taking up a martial art but I'm not sure which one I should take.

    I currently do Tae Kwon Do. It is fun and is really quite a workout. We do weapons in blackbelt club and Tae Kwon Do is the only martial arts to be in the Olympics :) BUT!! If you don't have the correct instructor, then it is physically incapable to be drained of everything. I have been doing Tae Kwon Do for almost 6 years now and I STILL get tired.
