![]() | I would venture to say that hopkido was not the art for you. You may want to consider what it is you are looking to achieve or gain from training. What is your motivation, or what are your goals? There is something to be learned from every art, even if what you have learned is validation of information. You may see someone do a technique, slightly different in one art than in another. You may agree with one arts approach more, or with neither. If you would like honest, educated opinions about what ats to train in, you have two choices: 1. Train in many on your own and make some observations as to how it will help you reach your goal. 2. Give out more information as to what it is you want to learn or be able to do. Then wait for the many different opinions and arguments for every art on the face of the planet. I personally choose both. I wish you mcuh luck with your search. "Everyday spent training is one day closer to learning something." ......Spiderchoke

![]() | Wrestling is better than 90% of the martial arts schools out there. Look for a Muay Thai place for striking.

| Registered User | Ramus, Two things: 1) Wing Chun IS a style of Kung Fu. Though how JKD is taught varies, it is often heavily influenced by certain styles of Kung Fu. This is a suggestion for you: 2) Stop acting like a child and spend more than three days at a place before you with all of your martial knowledge decide to can it. You have next to no experience, and yet you declare everything crap. Case in point: you see little or no difference betwen Muay Thai and wrestling...

Wrestling will make you very good on the ground. Take some Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu if you want as it will help you from your back. Against someone having much more size than you, you may need the jiu-jitsu. I take hapkido and can understand some of your frustration. Not all schools are the same. Hapkido is a decent art. Certainly not good for a ring, but it has some decent stuff, and works well in combination with wrestling. Of course, I am learning from a police defensive tactics instructor (this doesn't mean he is a master of unarmed combat, but he throws a lot of unneccessary tradition out). Anyway, if you are wrestling in high school, your going to be busy from now until Spring. So read up on Muay Thai, Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, and boxing until then.

![]() | I found that one of the really flashy wrist lock throws used in hapkido can be quite effective against somone weaker than you who doesn't want to fight.
