is 25 too late to learn a martial art? | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 3682731 United States 12/28/2012 07:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Muay Thai if you want martial art based on striking. Elbows, knee,leg,fist. Quoting: Tigershield Or Muay Boran, it's the trational form of Muay Thai. It's way more deadly and effective. I trained it for 2 years, still love it. Or BJJ for the ground work. best advice i have seen i train in both muay thai and bjj i would recommend either one all the other crap like tkd is childs play |

THe best styles out there for progressive MMA draw from kali/arnis and kung fu/kuntao silat. AS for the gey wrestlers I guess you might have to learn some BJJ or smtg for that matter. SOme of the kung fu can help though like tai chi and chinna, eagle claw etc |

But if it is simply for hobby, no need for op to become an expert at anything, and getting a diverse base may not be an awful idea. Remember, they are not looking ot compete or anything. |

I think a good balance of progressive MMA and traditional art like kung fu might be good. But as for jeet kune do philosophy, a lot of people buy it.. I don't. Some people just dont understand the traditional martial arts... but if you must that's why I said some of the progressive MMA that focuses on kali/arnis etc can give you a good balance for that "intellectual side". Well if anyhting kali/arnis influences progressive MMA can provide good stuff that other traditional styles don't have like how to develop flow, be creative and good sensitivity training practice. |

Wobbly Legs User ID: 31057318 United States 12/28/2012 11:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I recommend Tai Chi for cultivation of chi and meditation. Study with someone in Chen Bing's lineage. They won't make you eat up your time doing BS to prove your worth, the art will do that. Standing post will blow through any blocks you have but only if you are doing it right. Of course doing it right means experiencing terrible discomfort for 30 minutes a day. I like to pair that with 40 minutes of half lotus seated meditation where you keep the back open like in standing post. Let your eyes focus on a point on a blank wall and concentrate on the feeling of air passing through your nose and keep count. Bujinkan ninjutsu is good to pair with tai chi because it is immediately effective for combat and it is a complete art. |
