There are so many types of martial arts out there I could sit here for the next couple of days and name them all but to just name a few that most people know would be Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, American Kenpo, Kung Fu, those are some of the basic martial arts.

Some of them teach just forms, some teach self defense, some teach sports, grappling, submission type material. They're all great but you want to ask yourself, "what is good for you?".

Do you want it to be a way of life, you doing it just for fun, are you into learning forms are you learning to defend yourself, so each one has a base of what you want to do.

It's kind of like a doctor, you have foot doctors, brain surgeons. It's kind of like the martial arts, you got some guys that just do kicking and you have some guys that do a lot of grappling, some guys do a lot of self defense, so everybody's got a specialty of what they do.
