So I've decided to take up a martial art. #1 on my list is capoeira, #2 is krav maga, #3 is kung fu. However, it struck me that since many martial arts involve psionics, some of the people on this forum might practice a martial art and have some suggestions. So my question for those of you who take martial arts; what martial art would you recommend and why? -------------------- "Take root in the ground, live in harmony with the wind, plant your seeds in the Winter, and rejoice with the birds in the coming of Spring." - Hayao Miyazaki (Sheeta from the film - Laputa: Castle In The Sky) All murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets. - Voltaire Behind every successful man stands a surprised mother-in-law. - Voltaire I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: "O Lord make my enemies ridiculous." And God granted it. - Voltaire Illusion is the first of all pleasures. - Voltaire

So my question for those of you who take martial arts; what martial art would you recommend and why? I don't personally take martial arts, but I would say that the most 'psionically' based martial art that I've heard of is probably 'ba gua', but I've heard it takes a lot of training to be master effectively, and slow to learn, unlike some other more combat oriented martial arts. "Kung fu" is a very broad term. Look up 'external' or 'internal' Chinese martial art to tell the difference. This post has been edited by termsof: Jun 13 2010, 06:00 PM
