Give Choi Kwang Do a try (one month free). It teaches practical street defense, and the instructors are very knowledgeable.\n\nHere's the thing about grappling, they have rules. when your are in a real street the rules don't apply. your attacker will not follow the rules, so niether should you. bite, kick, scream in his ear, do anything and everything to get up and out.\n\nIf you were held up and gun point, martial arts can not help you there. if the guy pulls out a gun, don't be a hero. even the best martial arts are no match for bullets.

Trust me, you have not "out grown" anything. It is not possible to be such an expert you can no longer continue to progress and learn. If you don't hold at least a 6th degree and have been studying Kung Fu for a few decades you can not really claim to be an expert.\n\nAs to learning Judo, I encourage everyone to get experience outside their normal style. I can't reccommend one form over another, they're all great, and I think Judo would complement Kung Fu well. However, you may wish to consider Aikido instead, or in addition to, Judo, asyou may find it easier to adapt to the movements.

Its tough to learn on your own, but there are a few websites that have some basic moves.  I'm sure there's a class in or near your city.  I found classes everywhere from San Francisco to Nevada City (pop 2500)

You can go to any Martial Arts store or look in most Black Belt magazines which will give you Nakamura's Katas of Shotokan, or Ken Funakoshi.\n\nThe best place is a JKA School or traditional Shotokan Dojo\nBooks and tapes are a poor way to learn only because there is no one with an expert eye to watch your mistakes and correct you or teach you the Bunkai (Application) of the form\n\nThere are still GREAT Senseis alive for you to study with like Nishiyama, Harada, Kanazawa, Ohshima, Kawanabe, etc\n\nGood luck and never give up.\nIt is a passion and way of life. The Bushido (Way of the warrior)

What do you want to learn? Why do you want to learn? \n\nAre you looking for an effective and proven method of self-defense? Then I would recommend Wing Chun Kung-fu, Aikido or Kempo Karate. (There are others... MANY others, but these are my top recommendations.) \n\nAre you looking for fitness and philosophical approach to life? Then Taijiquan (Tai Chi Ch'uan), Baguazhang (Pa Kua Chang) or Xingyiquan (Hsing-i Ch'uan) comes to mind. (Again, there are others, but these are my top recommendations.)\n\nAre you looking at martial arts from a purely fitness perspective? Then Tea Kwon Do, Tan Soo Do, Hung Gar Ch'uan or any form of Gung-fu or karate would be good. \n\nAre you looking for a spot? Tae Kwon Do is an Olympic sport as well as one of the most popular Martial Sports in the world. Judo is also fun. Many karate and Gung-fu schools compete in tournaments, so you should be abke to find what you are looking for easily if this is what you are searching for.  \n\nAs I said, there are a lot of styles to choose from and it all depends on what you want.  I would recommend watching a few classes before you join a school. Some styles have very low stances and require good joint s and flexibility. Others require a great deal of upper body strength. Some schools focus mostly on physical conditioning while others focus more on skill and techniques. \n\nIf you are not sure what you are looking for, then find out what schools are in your area and meet with each and EVERY instructor before you make a final decision.  If you find a good school, within a short time, you will stop thinking of the school as a school and start thinking of it as an extended family. \n\nI wish you the best and I hope you find this information helpful.

it is impossible to learn any genuine martial art from video, d.v.d or book.surely when the weather is realy bad or in the evenings there is time to attend a class with a good quality instructor. Either Wu Shu for flexibility or any style of Tai Chi would benfit you.

Hopefully you'll find someone more knowledgeable than myself, but in case you don't:  Kung-fu is the most varied and most difficult style to learn, and probably the most successful from an offensive point of view.\n\nAikido is a martial art that relies on flips and twists and might be considered the most successful from a defensive point of view.\n\nTae Kwan Do is basically glorified kick-boxing.  Not very advanced, but a good way to exercise.\n\nThis is the extent of my foolish knowledge.  The ancient masters are probably crying in despair now.

If you want to learn a language without spending any or too much money?  One way is to get the materials from your local public libraries, they can be CDs, books, tapes and so on.  These days, they have it on both Mandarin as well as Cantonese.\n\nIf there's a local Chinese community club/society, often times, they may have a Chinese or Mandarin lessons for beginners at no cost or small fees.  \n\nWhen it comes to your school (high school, college & university), there might be an Asian Student Club.  Join them.  Or, try to meet your fellow Asian schoolmates.  After that, interaction is very important.\n\nFinally, practice.  That's the single most important and effective way for you to master Chinese.  You listen, speak, read & write.  You will need a partner or friend to do this with you.  Never be afraid of making mistakes, that's how we learn and improve.\n\nOh, one short cut, watch tons of Chinese movies or tv series.  I find TV dramas the best, though long and boring, I think more effective than watching a movie.  This is to improve your listening skills.   \n\nRemember, practice x 3.  That's the key.  Incidently, that's what I am trying to do for myself.   Good luck and happy learning.

Stephen K. Hayes used to have a dojo but that was a long time ago. Try GOOGLE. You'll probably have to go to Japan for that these days.

I have taught Wing Chun Kung Fu for several years - while you may be able to learn some set movements in this way, there is much about stance, power generation and centre of gravity that can not be learnt by copying from a video.\nFind yourself a good reputable instructor and go for it!
