Are Martial Arts effective for fat loss and general fitness? If so, which type of Martial Art is best?

August 22, 2011

I am 25 years old and interested in getting into better shape. Martial Arts have always interested me, but I don’t want to commit to something that isn’t going to help me meet my goals. Is it too late for me to start a Martial Art? I don’t want to be in a class with a bunch of kids!! Thanks in advance for answering.

Have people lost their way in martial arts today?

August 20, 2011

Today it seems the world is only concerned with sport based applications of martial arts such as MMA. When did we lose the integrity and meaning behind studying the martial arts that made them so great? Each day we hear people talk about fighting, conceptual system versus system arguements and everything is focused on the obtaining of fighting abilities. Why have people lost the true meaning of the martial arts and why would anyone believe that martial arts are only about fighting? Looking forward to your answers.

August 17, 2011

I’m interested in joining a kick-boxing/muay thai training club in Indianapolis, IN and the Indianapolis Martial Arts Club has very good reviews. I’m just curious what their prices are like. They obviously won’t tell me over the phone and I can’t find them online. Thanks!
