Darth Drahcir asked:


My friends mentioned a couple martial arts that they were interested in. One of them he said was about balance and it sounded like shadow when he pronounced it. He siad that it is one of the top five martial arts in I think the US, or maybe the world. It is up there with Karate, Jujitsu, Taekwondo, etc. The other one was a martial art where the first rule is that there are no rules, that you do whatever it takes to survive. He said that you could take on 12 guys at once even when they have surrounded you. What are the names of these martial arts?

Nigel asked:


I am more interested in a more physical, strenuous style for self defense/fighting.

Can anyone recommend a style, organization, dojo, etc. that they like? It would be greatly appreciated.

I have already investigated a respectable ninjitsu dojo and a place (White Dragon Martial Arts) that teaches Choy Li Fut kung fu, but would still like some input.

ZAK ATTAK asked:


What should I look for when choosing a center to learn martial arts? How can you differentiate between a serious center and one that is solely for profit and does not give a real teaching of martial arts?
