Martial Arts Swansea

Martial Arts SwanseaWhat martial art should I take or drop?

Ok, I take Kenpo over a year, I'll do my test for Green Belt next week. It's a great class, the teacher is somewhat philosophical, and quite practical when it comes to techniques and how they work in real situations. Takedowns, locks, knife defense and gender are taught, so it is pretty well rounded.

I'm a guy slim, 6 feet tall, but I train to keep myself in shape, I'm all muscle, even though I represent only 145 pounds lol, then the fight will be my weak body types especially against heavy people. So I decided to take BJJ to cover it.

I had taken too BJJ for a few months but had to stop because my schedule does not match.

Now I wanted to start looking for another martial art Kenpo pick to go with, since I know hardly knowing one does not cover all aspects of the fight.

BJJ but I liked it very difficult to get to class, other options, I thought off were Muy Thai, taekwondo, boxing or if I can not return to BJJ.

I will also enforce the law and get well rounded in martial arts would help I think.

Since I'm already pretty far with Kenpo I thought to stick to that and find another style of martial art there.

But then I read a lot of comments saying that kenpo and tae kwon do and shapes that are a waste of time because the lessons are not practical for real life situations. It got really low since I'm gone so far already in Kenpo, and I did some research before, but found different answers saying Kenpo last time was good for real life self-defense.

So now I'm confused, should I file my Kenpo classes and do a little MMA and Muy Thai because so many people say it is superior? Should I continue to take it and try to roll with BJJ Kenpo? If I do Muy Thai with Kenpo? I'm looking for something to help with my future law enforcement and have fun with my classes.

I know it's a wide range of issues, but I think my situation is a little less understandable, looking for some advice PRO, No. 5 answers simple words like "sucks kenpo do Muy Thai"

Also I saw through the MA, but right next to IR, mainly in Swansea, what I say is that I can get to classes in each state, so if anyone has any suggestions for schools should be in this area.

It is always best to stick to an art, at least until a higher level as, say, Nidan, then train crosses if you feel you need. You may well find that you learn the game that you thought you needed in the process. Not all schools / styles teach the same techniques in the same order. It is entirely based on the philosophy of styles.
MMA is a sport. Sports have rules, martial arts are not. There really is no best style, or best combination of styles. Styles are not effective, people are. If you like where you are, you seem, then stay there. Talk to your instructor about your concerns tillage.

ok firstly ur not all muscles if your 6ft 145 pounds 5'10 I'm not fat what so ever and weigh 167 pounds. anyway good to learn martial arts are Muay Thai, Boxing, BJJ, which covers stiking Wrestling, wrestling (takedowns and withdrawal of the defense and grappling melee) and ground fighting

Do not listen to what others have to say especially if they are not religious. It appears that you have a good well rounded Kenpo school and you like it. I would not drop it if I were you. I would also focus more on my Kenpo training before starting something new. Cross train when you have a base a little more. It is easier to fill in the blanks if you must, if you have a good solid base. A green belt you still ha.
