Not sure if this is best in this subforum since it's not specifically about self defense, but obviously related.
Anyway....
I am becoming more interested in taking martial arts classes. Not specifically for self defense, more for the long standing interest and physical and mental benefits.
There are sooo many forms I'm not sure where to look.
Mainly offered around me are:
Hapkido
Tae Kwon Do
Muay Tai
MMA
Kick Boxing
BJJ
Jujutsu
Kempo Jujutsu
Aikido
Karate
Tang Soo Do
And probably a few others I can't remember.
Some of those include weapons training, which is a big plus. I'm not real interested in MMA or kickboxing, more traditional forms and weapon forms.
Looking for some input/guidance for INGOers with some martial arts experience. What form did you choose and why? What forms have you tried? Likes, dislikes?
Bonus bacon for dojo/people recommendations in NWI. (Dyer, Schererville, Highland area for example)
EDIT: Forgot about the Tactics and Training forum. Mods, if that suits better, please move.
