Thread: Question from Newbie.

I took Hapkido classes for about 6 months a long time ago, and have recently been in a few aikido classes. I have a question for all of you. I would be very interested in finding a martial art/studio that was right for me. I quit take those aikido classes because the master instructor was a little too strict and kept speaking japanese. I don't want to learn another language or be in an atmosphere that is ultra-traditional. I like Aikido for it's philosophy and techniques but I didn't like the ultra traditional approach. I am also looking into Wing Chun but again, I don't want the ultra-traditional approach. Because of this I have also looked into Muay Thai/JuJitsu classes (it's a combination class, also teaches some Kali). I don't mind being formal, I just don't want to be uncomfortable and have to spend money/time learning a bunch of stuff I will never use and am not interested in (ie. language, traditions, etc.etc.). Does anyone here have any suggestions?

Funny, in the other post you said you took HKD for 2 years. 6 mos, 2 years its all the same, right?

Loose weight, then we'll talk.
