Hey Guy's,

I know there are/was a couple of guys into martial arts on here and want to get some advise.

I need a new outlet and hobby as I will be starting a job that will require some weekend work, so will have to retire from kicking the footy around on weekends.

I have dabbled a bit with Muay Thai, but seems to be a bit full on, RE. more about knocking out/ seriously injuring someone rather than stopping them.

I am looking for something that will keep me fit, self defence, progression of skills and a bit of a lifestyle.... Just looking for some opinions from people in the know as all the research I do just seems to be advertising for every different style.

So fire away, and thanks for the help!

Tried Jujitsu?

here you go Chooka , studied this for eight years. Close contact so not any big roundouse style kicks

Chow Gar Praying Mantis Kung Fu- Brisbane, Australia. Traditional Chow Family Kung Fu.

whats wrong with the classic old bar fight chairs and bottles

nothing except it's now low dog acts with knives, guns and out numbered people getting the sh*t kicked out of them

Freeze - Only really tried Muay Thai and Boxing so pretty green to all martial arts..

Julz - That looks pretty good but travelling to Brissy every Wednesday might get expensive!! lol most places seem to have set class times, need something that is a bit flexible in training times.

Jet - sitting in a bar practising that might work against the keeping fit bit!! lol

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Spot on Jules, not like the old days when it was normally one on one and you might get a black eye or a broken nose at the worse

lol @ chairs....

I done taekwondo for 8 years. good for fitness too.

Jujitsu is good for fighting.

Fitness just do tai chi or something

I also did taekwondo for 3 years,good for fitness and dicipline(spelling)

Note to all , every different art/style region etc all have their good points, most importantly they all improve fitness, self discipline and self defence.

Just consider that before anyone want's to get their peepee out

Jujitsu looks like a good mix....
