Naming a martial arts club?
Hello, first question, here it goes.
I am debating how to name my martial arts club and would like some opinions on the thinking behind it.
I am a third degree black belt in both taekwondo and judo and intend to implement the teaching of both alongside each other, rather than seperately within the same club, my problem is:
The same instructor teaching more than one style at a club is something that often comes up here as a flag of a mcdojo but I can not think of a legitimate way of naming what I am teaching as an individual style.
Seeing as both in essence are modern traditional style martial arts with origins in Japan, where both would have been taught in line with something matching the other, I don’t personaly have a problem with using a japanese name and teaching them as one thing, so long as it does not claim a direct lineage as such. I do however see many people having an issue with it and being potential fuel for flaming from those who do not know me or my club.
Discuss, advise and suggest as needed, I want the opinions even if they are don’t do it.
*edit – I already teach both at different clubs and have done for several years, I have also specifically saught tuition and advice from instructors in other styles regarding how to mesh the two together and fill in gaps.

I mean is it right being a judoka with muscle for a body?
Which martial art shall I choose?
Hi, I’m thirteen and I want to start learning a martial art, the only problem is I don’t know which one I would like to learn. Here’s my criteria:
I would like to learn a cool martial art, it can use anything like sticks hands or swords.
It needs to be near where I am, Buckinghamshire.
I don’t really want a popular one that lots of people do like judo taekwondo or karate.
It can’t be too expensive so know £5000 equipment.
Thanks allot!
Sorry for my misspellings.
OK it seems I wasn’t specific enough so here we go:
I would prefer a martial art that is mainly for self defense in real life situations not for sport or fun, although it would be nice to do it as a Hobie an keep myself fit.
Another preference is for quick sharp strikes and no rolling around and putting people in holds.
As for a life commitment I would prefer a quick to learn kind of style where I can quickly learn the basics and then begin to progress gradually.
Hope this helped!
