Martial Arts Sparring

My young children and I would like to learn a martial art or train in self defense. What is the best martial art for this? If there are no classes in my area, does anyone know any step-by-step instructions on line somewhere? We just need to learn how to get out of a bad situation fast if we have to. Thanks.

This is a sparring demo of the martial art of hanmudo. It is a Korean martial art which has techniques from judo, taekwondo, hapkido and other Korean martial arts. The demo includes throws, sweeps, locks, kicks and punches. Its not the best in the world but we only had 5 minutes to think of something.

Is Aikido effective on its own?

I am asking this question because of tehe way Aikido is being taught at my dojo.

The strikes (atemi) are not realistic, and people (both uke and nage), are not in situations where they required to turn or dodge fast.

Likewise, we are not taught effective strikings; as in, how to properly throw a punch or a kick, or how to parry a punch thrown by a boxer or a trained martial artist.

I know that in BJJ or wrestling or judo, the practitioners are also not trained in striking. However, people in those martial arts engage in sparring. So, there is an element of a real fight where both parties have to really apply what they learn, but in a safe environment.

Also, I am noticing that many guys in my dojo developing egos. I have seen guys with black belts or dans who think the world of themselves, and do not keep an open mind to improve. I also have a 4th dan instructor who has not been training for years, but only conducts lessons. And half the time, the lesson is taught by his assistant, while he just stands around and gives pointers once a while.

With such attitudes during training, I am just wondering if Aikido is effective? Are such attitudes common, or is it just my dojo?

Its my understanding I have to get it drycleaned. But I dont want to waste my money on that. Is there anyway I could clean it myself. I just used it yesterday and to all martial artists that do preformances its great. It looks cool for preformances and it is practicly impossible to rip on a high kick or something because it slides along your legs to prevent it. Also its good for sparring as it distracts your oponent , makes you a slippery target, and its light as a feather. But anyways Im getting off topic. Can I wash it myself?
Thanks for the help. Can somebody tell me how much it costs to have things like that dry cleaned on average. I never really have had to use a dry cleaner.

I’m quite interested in aikido and would like to start doing it but I have a few questions:

Is it good for self defence in real situations? A lot of it seems to be doing pre-arranged moves against a partner who knows how to fall and is not really fighting back. Also, one of the main things of aikido (I think) is not to cause harm to the attacker but in a real fight I would want to neutralise my attacker somehow.

There is a more spiritual side to it, is this religious at all or a more ‘in tune with the body’ kind of thing?

Should I look for a school which does sparring and/or weapons training or is any style good for what I’m looking for (not a ’sport’ art, as karate for example often is)?

Uh, can’t think of any more right now.
Note that I’m not looking only to defend myself, I know there’s simpler ways not to get mugged but I like the look of aikido in general.
Thanks!
Also, I presume it would take quite some time to become relatively good at it, in or out of the dojo?

How can attack an opponent that rushes at you with a variety of different kicks and dosen’t really slow down? This is what i usually do against the more timid sparrers but when i get pit up against a high rank who knows and does a variety of fast hard kicks, what do i do? I also have a tournament comming up, and tips would also be great.

i mean martial arts now are in a complete shambles, u have styles that are brining it down so much
now when i think of martial arts i think of 7 yr old tkd blackbelts doing the crane technique. i mean where the martial arts are inteded for war thats like watering down the military. the art of war by sun tzu or the japanese schools that follow bushido. that is real martial spirit. not point sparring.

what im trying to say is why are martial arts allowing these crap arts to be even called a martial art, jut because i have a gun dosent mean im in the army.

in training have u been pushed, mentaly and physicaly, im not talking about forms but cardio, have u been pushed till u have to stop.

oh and gary ahahah nice comment, why do u get so defensive for, i know tkd sucks, so does the rest of the world, face it u spent ur whole life on a bunch of bollocks sytstem, and i dont think tkd does ground techniques or joint locks, get r facts right mate
