want some martial arts to try

[jayson02]

I'm curious about martial arts and how carlos participate in those activities and in that aspect i'm a complete idiot about it but i'ld like to try it

I like those where can whoop some a-s ) and be very physical and I want it to be very interesting because there are tons of martial arts there and I'm confused on what to take

so do you have any suggestions on what kind of martial arts I should be taking?

The best way to cut to the chase would be to find a video by Paul Vunak. Google or Ebay would do that trick. World War II combatives from Chris Pizzo is a great place to go if kicking ass is a priority. Look for Carl Cestari on you tube, he was Chriss Pizzos instructor.

I just noticed your location as the Phillipines, lucky you, find someone there to teach you Kali, Escrima or Arnis. All names for the same Phillipino martial art. Paul Vunak is well versed in that as well as many other arts.

wow I should be ashamed of myself hahaha i don't know most of those except arnis I think i'm going to try kali its looks fun and brutal hahaha

btw Paul Vunak videos are great thanks for showing me that

Videos are okay, but please be careful who you get them from.

I recommend the series on Krav Maga that will get you some basic self-defense principles...

HOWEVER - nothing is like training at a dojo with a real sensei. Shop around and start looking, and don't let them bully you into joining.

A great deal of teachers out there resort to aggro techniques to get students, and they don't really understand "bushido."

Ask more questions and I'll be glad to clarify...

I chose well in my first sensei, and it made ALL the difference...

so what do you think is the best martial arts for beginer that is fun to do?

because i only got few free time I might not continue it if it takes me months to actually do the basic stuff

my brother and I want to try some martial arts but we don't know martial arts. we just want some martial arts that is fun and stress relieving much like a hobby

Until you know what you want, you should start with something simple. I'd say a type of Karate would be good for starters.

Ok, dumb question, but does Krav Maga have sensei's?

Krav maga is jewish in origin and taught to the israeli military. sensei is japanese for teacher
so yes and no.

Well I started Krav Maga of late. Wow, every lesson about 5 minutes into it I'm questioning why I'm doing it. I settle down and always enjoy the class. I thought I was in pretty good shape for a 51 year old man, I ran 9 miles about a month ago and try to get a 2 mile run in every week,the Krav classes and a trip to the gym to lift once a week. I really wasn't ready for the pure physicality of Krav. I'm told that in the advance classes there's a real possibility for injury.
