What other type of martial arts should i take other than choy li fut???

Okay so right now im taking choy li fut and im mostly just learning how to deal with certain situations but i want to learn like basic things that you can use in a fight like a variety of kicks or strikes.


I really want to try another style (while still doing choy li fut) one that i will be able to use in a fight faster because choy li fut seems like one where it takes like years for it to be really effective in a fight. so what are some suggestions

What other type of martial arts should i take other than choy li fut???
Start from the beginning with your motive for taking a Martial Art or Yoga for that matter. Western interpretations of both disciplines tend to focus on the more immediate features (Martial Arts--kick someones butt, no longer be bullied). Yoga tends to be less of a philosophy in the USA and more of an exercise club.





I would try to look at a martial art that treats itself as a discipline---a community feel to the school, a Sifu (if Chinese) that has a few decades in the martial art, a range of students mixed together as learners and some emphasis on eating and healing. I%26#039;d look to see if there%26#039;s some form of Tai Chi or Mei Lei Jeung associated with the training. I%26#039;d also look at the beliefs surrounding circular versus angular forms.





Do people get hurt while training at the school? Does the school partake in traditions (drumming, ceremonial weapons, Lion Dance). I tried Wing Chung years back and it was evil (not the form but the school) all about beating up folks, then I found a school we cooked meals, exercised outdoors, meditated for 1-2 hours over the course of a 3-6 hour class and had ages from 3 to 60. This was a White Crane School but I think the form , although beautiful and effective was surpassed by the master%26#039;s training to teach us dignity, self worth, health care and the correct use of power.

Reply:Choy li fut is a great style, but it does take some time to become good at, especially if they are not teaching you combat applications. (sounds like they are just teaching the basic forms) Here are some good styles.

Reply:if you want to learn in a fast pae learn krav maga. Its as realistic as you will get. Theres no fancy forms to learn, its just based on this, your in a fight, kill your opponent krav maga is taught to FBI agents CIA, police etc. learn this. Its faster and more effective to learn.
Reply:Any art that is strong in what choy li fut is weakest in .All arts have their weaknesses tho their adherents would have you beleive otherwise..
