Hi everyone, I'm new here...
I've been training in a style of Mixed Martial Arts for about the last 1.5 years and have recently decided I'm not happy there-Don't get me wrong, I've learned some useful things but on the whole I feel what they want out of their students is money and not much else. Also, the "Sensei" of this school claims to have qualifications in many styles, some of which don't even exist...
Anyway...For the last couple of weeks I've been searching for a new Dojo to train at but the thing is, I'm not really sure what style I want to learn. I want to learn an art that will train all parts of my being-Physical, mental and spiritual. What art would you recommend for this? I also don't know if I want to practice a Chinese or Japanese system-Can anyone explain the primary differences between the two, in regards to actual physical movements as well as philosophy? Numerous styles of martial arts are available within a (relatively) short drive of where I live.
I apologise if this post doesn't make a whole lot of sense-I would just really appreciate some honest advice from experienced practicioners of the martial arts.
Thank you,
Tom.
