May I ask which Martial Art has caught your interest?

I agree! Martial Arts will not only help us to defend ourselves but also to gain self-discipline and will achieve physical health with proper use of it. I've tried Taekwondo when I was 12-15 years old. It really helped me a lot like developing self-motivation, also I gain self-confidence and more friends. This is a healthy way of exercise too.

The US has some of the worst, but also some of the best ma schools. Go to other countries? Why? Chuck Norris lives in America. Nough said.

chuckle....

I actually wrote a small post on things to look out for when trying to find the best kung fu school, would appreciate any comments on those who are interested...

Thanks for the info.....

You definately missed some very important aspects which need articulating IMHV. Consider, re: SPACE, whatever its size, the training area M-U-S-T be clean; free of things which could harm you.

Nothing on the floor to trip you. Nothing attached or connected to the walls which can cause any potential harm. Organized, neat-clean is 100% mandatory, no matter what size the space might be.

If the shoes, or "outside stuff" is all over the place rather than in a specific area... not a great sign.

Weapons IMHO are typically a very bad sign (only in the generic) "initially". Playing with weapons, swords, knives, sharp and pointy things are a generic red flag. There are all kinds of weapons, and specific arts which teach them in different ways. But in the generic giving someone the weapon any weapon prematurely is a bad warning signal in my humble perspective. You need to know about the people you are arming , training before you simply give them such tools the very first day.

Merely my humble opinion, I could surely be mistaken,
