Can someone recommend a good place to learn martial arts such as jujitsu, BJJ or MMA in Central/South East London?
It is more convenient if you yourself will judge a school, so I want to suggest this site, Top UK Martial Arts Classes - The Best Choice for Your Training! this is where my friend found her martial arts school. The good thing about this site is it offers you a list of martial arts schools near you. This is really inexpensive around £30 only! Hope this helps.
Which is the best place to learn Krav Maga in Mumbai?
Krav Maga is the most over rated martial art in the world. Many good knife fighters from disciplines like Kali, siliat and Filipino martial arts believe that krav maga is a joke.In fact US Marines and Navy trains their soldiers in Filipino knife martial arts.I know few genuine people who teach them in north India but in Mumbai I have no idea. I want you to train in boxing/ kick boxing or judo/wrestling in Mumbai because of good quality coaches. All the best.
What are all the different kinds of martial arts?
there are thousands of martial arts there are over 300 kung fu styles, about 75 tkd styles, over 300 japanese jujutsu styles, over 300 iaido/kendo styles, over a 100 arnis, over a 100 muay thai, over 50 karate, and this is just 6 countries out of a 180 there is no single accurate list anywhere vis you have no idea what you are talking about There is no best style. Your size, body type and sex have nothing to do with the style you want to choose. People that think that your size and body type determine the style know little to nothing about martial arts Most people will tell you there style is the best or they heard such and such is a great style, The style is not important, what matters is how good your instructor is and how you train. The style is secondary, they all have there pro's and con's there are no superior styles. If you have an instructor that can’t teach you how to fight, regardless of the style, what good would it do you? Choose a school with a good instructor in the end that’s all that matters, that and how you train. Its the person that has the ability to fight not the style
How many mma styles are there out there?
All Martial Arts are basically Mixed Arts. The different styles and schools all stem form adaptations and usage in their historical context. Often seen as tradition, most martial art adaptation simply is a manifestation of need in terms of combat or practice from the time in which they where developed. An example would be the "traditional kobudo", also known as Japanese Karate Weapons, these are essentially farming tools converted to weaponry. This was done, by most accounts, to fight rouge Samurai and bandits that would attack farming villages. Another example is Bruce Lee's adaptation of Miyamoto Musashi's usefulness. Musashi was a bit more cryptic in using the metaphor of a carpenter. Lee's application was a sort of a clarification that can more easily be applied to any and all arts. There is a essential core to development in any Martial Art or skill. In this way all arts are the same. Things like stance, balance, upper & lower body motion, etc., all have an impact on more advanced technical application of movements such as a kick or punch. As a rule a punch is restricted by human physiology, but application of a punch can be modified and controlled. The point of Musashi and Lee, would be that using the punch as it best fits you and your needs. the most misrepresented aspect of Mixed Martial Arts is all to often the idea that less base knowledge is the same as finding what is useful, when in fact the more technique you can learn the better. This goes to Sun Tzu's Art of War, and the principal that one must know the enemy. It is my argument that, if you know the basic fundamentals of Tae Kwon Do, and Judo, then if you encounter combat with a Judo practitioner you will have the option to use your base knowledge of judo to recognize tactics and strategies. And then you can expand your combative arsenal to include Tae Kwon Do techniques to your advantage. All of this simply means that there is no real number of Mixed Arts, but there is a history behind all of the Martial Arts out there. My advice to all is to explore it as much as you can, it will help to weed out all the crap that is out there. "No limits, No way" Mitch
How many countries have a fighting style?
Every country in some point in time had a form of unarmed combat. Civilizations evolve and along that evolution they experience warfare, with warfare comes combat. Though not all martial arts exist today, I'm sure all countries at least had one form of martial art. - Hope this helps
What's the safest route through Mexico for a road trip from the USA to South America in a Ferrari?
There are none.First off, it’s a bit brash to drive a Ferrari through the poor countries of Central America. You’re just begging for corrupt cops to pull you over for a bogus violation and demand $500 in cash.Plus, you’ll have to spend the night a bunch of times, it’s at least a six day drive. So you’re going to be pulling off the Pan-American Highway regularly, and parking in sleepy little towns or big cities, in either of which you’ll stand out like a walking ATM. Or M-13 gangs will challenge a new kid to carjack you.Third, insurance will be a nightmare. You’ll need to stop at every border and purchase insurance for THAT country, plus typically pay a few hundred bucks for a “hologram” (a window decal), that must be redeemed on the way out. Driving without the hologram and/or insurance is an excellent way to get your Ferrari confiscated.Finally, you can get no father than Colombia by car. To get to Peru or Brazil or Argentina or Chile, you will need to take ferries across parts of the Amazon. Which presumably take cars (they definitely take motorcycles, because I know a couple of guys who have biked from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego).All that being said, the Pan American Highway is very nearly complete, and so you can drive on mostly excellent roads from Laredo or Eagle Pass (let’s say San Antonio) to Panama City, with only a few parts of Nicaragua and El Salvador where you’ll need to divert onto crappy local roads for a while.But all in all, if your point in doing this is to drive around in a Ferrari down in Rio or Buenos Aires, why not fly there and rent one? Or if you’re moving there, have it shipped by a cargo ship. Not cheap, but neither was the Ferrari, I presume.
