Thinking all Martial Arts Schools are the SAME

It is very important that you select the right style based on what your wants and needs are. For example, if you are concerned about learning practical self defense, it is probably not the best option to train in a sport Martial Art like Tae Kwon Do or Judo. Conversely, if you are looking to win competitions, a self defense based system like Kempo, Jui Jitsu, or Krav Maga is probably not the best choice. This goes back to deciding what you really want from a Martial Art. Selecting the wrong style for your needs can be a very big mistake. Most people believe that all Martial Arts are basically the same. This is simply not true. Many styles are very different in many ways. You also want to make sure a school of a specific style has a philosophy that works for you. For more information on selecting a style that will fit your needs visit http://www.akka.com/
