@Sigma @Reaper thanks for the pointers guys. Yeah i think that's a big reason why this aikido dojo is so tolerant of people, they realize being open to one and all is a great business model. I've heard a lot of smaller and private dojos are draconian even and expect 100% seriousness and dedication. I have a shitty attitude when pushed too hard much to the detriment of my personal development.
mcdojos
just do grappling, honestly
most fights end up on the ground anyway
Grapping is good, I recommend that too
Wrestlers are hard to take down, so bonus points if you do wrestling and grapping
But ideally you want to stay standing
@GingerSnaps yes a fight gym is a personal thing if it doesn't match your personality it won't work
You choking out a guy on the streets, then his friends step in and start stomping out out
you out*
@GingerSnaps akido is good cause it just gives you the good foundation on taking punches and shit. You'll be fine with doing that and other stuff. It's merely how you take momentum from your opponent and handling your own
1v1 grapping is op tho
don't bother with akido
judo, greco roman, and jitsu
all you really need
akido is great against other people doing akido, but that's about it
@GingerSnaps boxing is also great for weight loss and getting you in overall better shape for training
If you want to learn as much as possible in shorter time, you can do very well with just grapping and Muy Thai. Boxing is great too. Muy Thai is also a good striking art
I like wrestling, Boxing, a little bit of kicking, and some BJJ
@Reaper i don't really have a problem with weight loss. If anything i need to bulk up a little more. But i'm happy where i'm at at 180-185 and almost 6 foot. I just want more muscle mass and definition.
whatever works for you
in my adult life i have never had to throw a punch to end an altercation, most have been settled after i head and arm throw somebody.
@GingerSnaps ok well I don't think any martial arts will get you that but you sound like you are a good frame to start training
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I never had to fight anyone before either
Adults just take verbal jabs at you
@°°° if given only to pick one, which is the best one to learn
and shit test you
if you're living near the inner city, probably a good idea to know some shit or at least have some weapon on you
just in case
@Reaper i'm doing weight training for my arms and i have yet to start a squat routine for my legs and butt but i'll get there. Also want to start incorporating push ups and planks into my routine again. that's a good all around exercise.
and Lifting alone and looking big makes you a harder target too
@Unknowncrash grappling
@°°° like martial arts, which type I mean
Yeah I agree on grappling
If you're 6ft tall and you lift, not many people are gonna fuck with you
@GingerSnaps yea you can't go wrong with push ups, chin up are good for your whole upper body too
and if you want to learn fighting, all the better
You'd ruin people
@Unknowncrash greco roman wrestling or jiujitsu
