I've done 6 years of kyokushin, I fell very sick last year and missed 1 year now and been fighting for my health ever since, I plan to carry on, sometimes we have setbacks in life but I want to keep going, you give me a lot of hope thank you! In the future I'm going to do muay Thai as well I think it's a good idea after kyokushin because muay Thai fighters can withstand blows really well, and being sick made me weak so I plan to build my strength again

@@the_only_ONE_ every martial art can be very deadly if the practitioner is crazy good. They say kyokushin is deadly cuz certain kicks hits and such are with really strong contact. What I mean is the way we were thought to fight is just more brutal then most other martial arts because we don't space eachother when sparing and the training is very strict. In my opinion kyokushin is a deadlier and less forgiving style karate but everyone can practice it its survivalble lol!

You need a combat judo teacher and an Okinawan karate and jiu jitsu teacher. if you seriously want to succeed at MMA.

Don’t be afraid to take advantage of these taster lessons! Not only can you try out all martial arts you’re interested in but you could have 3 or more different taster lessons in 3 or more different gyms around you, do this for every martial art you want to try and you’ll have a pretty full schedule for 2 months or more. Now you’ll have a much better understanding into what every sport has to offer and you can compare the different gyms before ever paying anything.

All great points! As a fellow karateka, although I practice okinawa Goju Ryu rather than Japanese Shotokan, I appreciate learning other points of views and see how same techniques are expressed or applied differently. Along the journey, I tried Taekwondo and found out it’s not for me, but I enjoyed Capoeira due to athleticism, history and music. I’ve been recently doing a Chinese martial art called Bajiquan, considered to be the Bodyguard style of CMA, and noticed how similar it’s techniques are but done completely different. Keep it up, Nat

Great job, have done shotokan, Goju ryu and tkd. Then went to Chinese arts around 12 years ago. (not even trying to be an ass) but shotokan/shorin ryu is Okinawan karate. Shorin ryu is slightly older than Goju ryu and they are the two original styles of"karate". Most people just teach a more modernize sport version of the art(basically tkd ). Kyokushin is japanese karate.

As a child, I didn't like martial arts that much because it involved a lot of fighting and violence. But a few years later my parents decided to put me in karate, I didn't like the idea at first, but after my first class, I loved it. My teacher was amazing, I liked it so much that I always looked forward to classes and even started training by myself at home. Another thing I loved was the smell of the training area lol I just liked the scent for some apparent reason. One thing i didn't like were test days. It usually just consisted of fighting other opponents (obviously with protection). I still didn't like the fights, but I eventually grew to like it aswell. As for now, I don't go to karate classes because I had to stop during the pandemic. But I still want to go. I'm still talking to my parents about it lol

It also depends how fast you want to learn things. Some martial arts are more in depth, but you learn techniques slower, while others throw you in and you learn a bunch of things right away, but there might not be as much depth in the long run.

I'm into HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) I mainly focus it's fencing, but it also has its wrestling and striking based martial arts. Right now, other then fencing, I'm practicing it's wrestling, witch is called Kampfringen ( German wrestling ). It's pretty much wrestling at the arms, legs and body. I won't go too much into detail but, it teaches takedowns dislocations. It can either be a sport or combat martial art.

But if you're talking in terms of general striking, it is neither used and practical. The reason for this is because, in the Renaissance era, people walked around with weapons and forms of armor in the daily, so punching wasn't practiced as much.

I'm also a karateka and this really mirrored the method I used to pick my martial art! I wanted mostly striking including kicks and zero groundwork. Found a great dojo that offered me two classes free. After about six months I realized just how darn much I loved kata and weapons forms. And now I've been at it for over a year and I'm so pleased!

Very useful! Thank you!

Love when I'm super interested in a martial art just to realize there are approximately 0 gyms nearby.

I’ve always been interested in ground work and grappling so I just signed into a jujitsu gym this video really helped me out so thank you Keep up the good work

My kids have done judo from being 5. I’ve recently started taking them to Muay Thai too. They’re loving doing something new and are really excited about it

Very informative. I've taken so many calls about what martial art new students should try. Free trial lessons are the way to go. Great video!

I started karate about a month ago after trying judo for a couple of years and love it.

Also you can start at any age it’s never too late to learn a martial art and although it is always humbling walking into the dojo for the first time it is a great experience and I would definitely recommend it

I wanna do Muay Thai because Japanese Jiu-jitsu hasn't taught me how to punch properly.

Very true about what works with you. But I would definitely recommend choosing something with an upright stance like modern boxing, kickboxing, MMA or muay Thai for general self defense.

When I started I tried all the schools in my area as all of them had a free trial class. After that I went by their schedule and cost. I ended up studying Shuri Ryu karate for about 4 years.

I practice Bujin Ki Ryu Jujistu and it’s a mixture of striking, punching, kickings, grappling, throwing, and wrestling.

Nat you inspired me to do Martial arts you are the best

New sub manifesting that u reach 1 million very soon zo❤

Some advice for finding the martial art for you is to see why you want to learn martial arts. If you want to learn self defense you should probably pick a martial art like BJJ judo or wrestling or a martial art with ground work and grappling. If you want to get in shape from Martial arts and still learn how to fight pick something like boxing or kickboxing. And if you want to have fun and learn something cool and fight like super hero’s or most action hero’s like Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee teakowndo or karate would be good. Obviously this is just my opinion but as a person who has trained in teakowndo Karate and BJJ this is something I think is really helpful to know especially early on. Hope this helps you find your martial art

Me personally im training muay thai from home with internet because there isnt ant muay thai gym in my city. Im training it because i think it would work well against a real situation . But when i feel confident that im preety good with it ill also learn grappling martial arts but im not sure wich one

I would like to say that you should also take into account your physical shape in the sense if you are tall/short thin/big a tall and thin person with little weight will have an excellent performance in taekwondo for example. I AM NOT saying that if you have a different complexion you should not practice what you like but it is a factor that you can take into account I am 5'3'' and I practice karate it is somewhat difficult to do high kicks but I enjoy what i do

I am currently in TSMA and I honestly have mixed views on it. My goal was to learn Karate and it is not specifically a karate school and is a mixed martial arts school that offers Kickboxing, Jiu Jitsu and more. I asked my Instructor if I can learn karate there and he said that I can since it is a mixed martial arts school. The intermediate and advanced classes have more sparring and more advanced kicking. Yes, I do believe knowing more than one martial art can help you become an all round and formidable fighter, yet I am still more of a Karate guy. Any thoughts or suggestions?

well done nat, these are the sponsors i like seeing youtubers accept

I’ve done Okinawan for 4 years now and I started boxing again for 2 years and jiujitsu and Krav Maga

Solid advice! My situation right now is that I've been training hapkido for a while and I love the club, the people and training. Only problem is that hapkido focuses a lot on techniques that look fancy but beyond basics isn't really that applicable. Doesn't help that my particular club doesn't do punches at all. The good thing with hapkido though is the kicking part and the flexibility training (for me, I have the flexibility of a fridge so its desperately needed). Apart from the aforementioned lovely people in my club, these positives would be taken up a level with taekwondo, no? I dunno, taekwondo is freaking frightening man, all these head-height kicks and here I am struggling with a kick higher than lower ribs. At the moment I don't have the time to include a second martial art to complement this, what do I do?

Where i live there isnt many options for Martial Arts, except for a few garbage places. But i got lucky: my dad has a friend who teaches Muay Thai, and so as soon as we moved in the city i started going. Its been 3 years, but ive only really made progress this year cause now i live there and dont have to go through a 1 hour drive through a mountain island (Kefalonia). I really enjoy it, and even though i mostly do rowing, Muay Thai has become a part of me and i wont let it go. It aint no way im missing the traditional Thai music and EFFEX remixes that play while we do our training 😂 Fast low, illuminating high kicks, deadly knees and elbows... I LOVE MUAY THAIII!!!!

I love this channel

I have experience in Karate. Shotokan Karate to be exact. But I am self teaching myself in Kickboxing mainly because there aren't any dojos near me that aren't McDojos.

i feel that if u want all the things (punches, kicks, striking, throws ,etc) u can also check out Karate as it also has all the things...

i love youuu

This is actually a really helpful video! I did Tae Kwon Do for a few years as a kid, and Kung Fu on and off during my teens, but I haven't really done any martial arts since then. I've been to a number of schools when I was a kid/teen. Some were good, but others felt like mcdojos, so I've been kinda weary of that. Plus there's just so many different martial arts. I'm considering Karate or maybe Muay Thai. I was also thinking MMA, though I am a bit scared to do it.

I've been thinking about taking karate, there's this huge gym/club collection consisting of all sorts of sports and martial arts nearby, at first I wanted to do it's aikido which my friend attended there and even won medals from it, but after some research I figured aikido is not something I would wanna spend time on and so searched about karate and I'm deciding to attend it :) it seems exiciting for me.

also think about your goals what do you want to achieve is it to beat other people or maybe it's about discipline and art

I watched the show called Baki hanma and I watched the most deadly techniques, so I think karate is my learning, but after I get comfy with karate, I’ll go for a shadowboxing

And here I am watching a video about how choosing the right martial art just to see what you will say haha I'm already at taekwondo and very happy at it. Actually, I've a belt exam this sunday. I hope it goes all well

One another thing per my experiences is if the trainer or fellow trainees are bullies. I had been through this so many times even with one of the most gentle martial art of all like Aikido. A kid cried due to excessive physical contact, yet that sensei made fun of us. And I was the main victim if his.

I think it's a little more complex than just basing your choice on what type of techniques you want to learn. A martial art incorporates many more concepts, spiritual, philosophical, and yes, technical concepts. But anyway it's a good starting point.

I went to a kung fu martial arts school for a year. I received my green belt ,but I started to get bored with it. It was like we weren’t progressing and to me they were handing out belts like candy as you say. I feel like I didn’t earn my green belt because I made mistakes and they still passed me anyways. I’ve always wanted to do karate, and want to go to a school that will challenge me.

Adapt to your abilities is the best way to choose an art, as someone who has brain paralysis, my legs are weak and kicking is hard.So I decided to pick up boxing.Adaption is key to victory.

My mix is shaolin duanda and wing chun 🔥

I couldn't decide so I did 5 year or so of judo, 11 years of boxing, 9 years of karate

Can confirm two at once can be confusing because Wrestling techniques are very different from BJJ besides the takedowns
