  • trying to decide on a martial art to learn

    I'm trying to decide on a martial art to learn, but I'm not exactly sure what would be best.

    I would like something that incorporates the ideas from arts like tai chi or jeet kune do where the idea is to adapt and/or make your opponent defeat himself, but I also wouldn't mind something a bit more gymnastic like wushu, although something that is indeed an applicable fighting style. I guess I'm looking for a very flexible style that is kind of all around and fun at the same time. Right now I'm considering jeet kune do but I don't know enough about different martial arts to know what I would like most.

    Any suggestions? Also, are there any web resources that have a bunch of videos of different styles so I can see what each one looks like?

    Thanks

    Check out the Bujinkan, it might tickle your fancy.
