Help with finding a martial arts style. ?
Im kinda looking for a hand to hand combat kinda stuff but with kicks so its not just boxing. When i was little i took tea kwon do in korea. i got to red. I came to america in 5th grade and took tea kwon do here to finish it and get to black. But in america it was a joke and just a way to earn quick money. It was the same as fairies prancing around.
So i started over at white and left after 3 weeks.
After a while i started to get rusty. I took up a sport in middle school, and started to get strong and very fast in football.
im a Jr now in highschool and even though i came to america to hope life would be diff. Its the same life is all bull sh!t. So i want to learn a martial arts, whats the point of studying so hard if somebody can just rob you and kill your family. Since i don’t want guns and all of that dangers and legal papers, screw that crap.
If you guys would list some martial arts style that you guys have tried, or had exp with would be nice. And maybe a little brief summary next to it. Also, i would like a style which uses your whole body not just your fists like boxing. Even the styles with throws, locks, and wrestling stuff would be great as well.
Thanks

The answer is the right instructor more than style.
I had a wonderfull Tang soo do instructor in Ohio ( a koren), another great one in Florida ( American ), then a terrible one 45 moles north. ( An american ,roid freak). He made me quit the art for a long time.
Take our advise and visit as many schools as you can, ask questions, voice your concerns to the instructors respectfully. The good ones will understand.
That being said..
Korean-
TKD is usually the most popular taught and therefore most likely to find a poor instructor.- You know what it is like.
Tang Soo Do– Very similar to TKD with less emphasis on jumping kicks
Hapkido-Mainly low kicks and lots of hand techniiques that lead to joint locks, pressure points and throws. Circular techniques that are mainly self defence oriented. Similar to Aikido/Japanese jujitsu/Aiki-Jujutsu
Japanese- I am not an expert on these so I will list a few and let others speak to them
Aikido- Throws Joint locks circular–Think Steven Seagal–Don’t hate me for that Aikidoka’s
Multiple Karate Forms- Too many to list
Ju Jitsu-throws locks
Judo- Throws
Ninjitsu- weapons
Kenpo- Mainly front leg kicks, hard blocks, awesome hand teqniques
Kendo- Sword play
Chinese-
Multiple Kung fu forms
Wushu, Chung, 5 animal shoalin, Hungar, Hapgar, Wing Chung, Tai-chi
Jeet kun do -Bruce lee hybrid system
Brazillian- Ju Jitsu- from the Japanese but adapted to ground game
Coepiera- coolest art to watch - think breakdancers kicking your ass
Indonesian- I dont have enough time for them all-
Tai- Muy Tai Bad ass Kick boxing with elbows and knees
MMA - Mixed Martial Arts, see UFC , Pride
Dozens of Hybrid systems that are good for self defense
and Hundreds of BS ( I make up my own style ) from a-holes who took a YMCA Karate class once and think they know more than people who actually train.
Did that last part sound Bitter?
Mc
28 Yrs-MA
TKD,TSD, Hapkido, Kung Fu, BJJ, MMA
No, I dont have my own style or infomercial
But if I did it would be Mc-Judo ($49.95).

Try Kajukenbo, it was designed for real world fighting. No sports, no bull.

You would have to pick up on a few styles such as both boxing and muay thai. Judo (throws and locks), wrestling(strong take downs and pins) and brazilian jiu jitsu (chokes and submissions).

traditional tae kwon do is what you prob learned
they are rare in the US and tend to be sport and just want money.
Look into MMA
so you can get the stand up and ground aspect
MMA takes stuff from Wrestling, Judo, Tae Kwon Do ,Muay Thai, BJJ, really any martial art.
Learn the basics and learn how to fuse them together

Some of the styles that I haved studied are:
Muay Thai: A kickboxing art that originated in Thailand. It places equal emphasis on punches, kicks, knee strikes, and elbow strikes.
This is very much an aggresive style that places focus on attacking your opponent with a barrage of attacks in quick succession. (One note for begginers, Muay Thai kicks are different form normal kicks in that they strike with the shin rather than the foot. This will more than likely be painful for the kicker as well when first starting out)
Savate: A streetfighting art that was developed in France during the early 19th century. Savate uses kicks that place great emphasis on perfect execution, requiring a great amount of flexibilty. It also encompasses many of the techniques of western pugilism.
Jeet Kune Do: The art style and philosophy of Lee Jun Fan, or Bruce Lee as most of the world knows him, which focusing on the most effective methods of fighting. It has several different principles that help one to become a more complete fighter. JKD includes both open palm and closed fist hand strikes, kicking, knee strikes, elbow strikes, headbutts, throws, locks, and wrestling. (One thing to keep in mind when considering the study of this art is that it is very hard to find legitimate locations that teach it. For most students of this art, myself included it is learned through self study of his books.)

Your obvious answer in within your question. You trained TKD in Korea, where it came from. Instruction was good, by an instructor trained in the proper tradition of the style. I have practiced karate under some very good instructors, and some who were not as outstanding. The outstanding teachers taught me much. The others did too, but the lessons learned from each was as different as the individual from whom it came. You will have better luck finding proper instruction in karate than TKD, but still beware the McDojo as they exist in all styles. Kyokushinkai, or shotokan karate are 2 no-BS styles if you can find them, but if a good teacher is available for some obscure Chinese style get with that program. The only real key to this is finding someone who really KNOWS how, and what to teach you. Good luck finding a place to train. J

first and foremost, you have to find out what is in your area. and go from there. for your reasons i’d go for something more modern. something quicker and easier to learn and apply. something self defense based rather than traditional.
