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

Unregistered	What aspects of Kung Fu are you looking into? What do you want from it? The more 'badass' or 'awesome' or 'cool' the art usually, is the far more rigid, brutal, cold, the teachers will be. From personal experience, they will treat you like crap (with good reason), scream at you, and continue to berate you until you get something right. This is all in their nature, given the art their teaching sets perfection as the baseline, but be prepared for the fact they think that 'the nail that sticks up must be pounded down.'
