Didn't know where to post this actually but anyways
need a bit of help/suggestion
since getting back into martial arts training a bit since might as well a form of exercising that
interest me
(might as well try to be
healthy...somehow XD):p
next time if i have budget...thinking of looking for a coach/sensei/dojo/gym
(hopefully someone/somewhere
relatively cheap...kahit
not every saturday maybe 2
times a month or so lng pang
refresher or so lng)to train under again
problem is finding the right one that fits me...since yeah usually for martial arts the coach/sensei has to be someone that also fits your personality/discipline you trained under or so...its like finding the perfect weapon that fits your personality etc etc perfectly XD
so asking for a bit of suggestion or so on what probably martial art dicispline you can guys can suggest a bit that somewhat fits my personality or so
here's a basic rundown on my personality and my usual preferences
1. I tend to be aggressive type of person/player even in games...i rarely go defensive even in games >_<
for one thing in my old trainer/coach he kinda etched in the mentality "hit them first, hit them hard, finish it quick" something in me before and actually kinda worked for me
so have a habit of charging in
/evading or so
in fast phased games or so
2. I still have a habit of doing a few kicks or sweeps but not that often...and i can't kick higher than my chest >_<
3. Not afraid of heights so if i ever have to learn to do back flips or so...i don't mind highly doubt i can do it even after a lot of training XD since i can't jump that high for some strange reason
4. as for weapon preferences...anything can be a weapon kind of thinking just depends on how creative you are hehehehe XD but if i ever have to pick my favorite weapons i would love to use are probably fist,swords/sticks, quaterstaff and ive always wanted to learn to use the tonfas...I HATE CHAINED WEAPONS (numchucks etc basically anything with a chain) and guns...not a big fan of long range weapons pretty much
5. Also tend to use my artist background a bit
Since i have knowledge in human anatomy for both 3d and 2d art....kinda have a bit of a habit hitting certain weak parts...
Since i focus more in character/story development...kinda have a bit of habit also figuring out what the opponent is thinking or probably going to do
A bit of background in character animation or so also helped a bit...center of gravity etc etc things like those i tend to use to my advantage as well sometimes
6. slightly short sighted...anything
close to me is clear but its
far away it becomes blurry which is why
i wear glasses XD...and probably gotten
used to evading or so in most games
since habang malayo pa...whats that?...when it
gets close and clear...you get the idea
7. not planning to join competitions
this is just more or less
"exercising" for me and self defense
i guess but in the real world
i highly doubt though
will get to use it XD
i mean you can't evade a bullet now
can you
and besides its best to be safe than sorry
won't probably have time for competitions either way
8. have a slight habit of doing grabs as well... transition from a punch/kick or so to a grab
but not often also
9. Have a habit of using or raising either my left knee or right knee to block a low kick..if not i tend to use my forearm to block a low kick if i ever dont have time to evade the low kick
10. even if i am holding a weapon...i still can't seem to remove my habit of using my legs or arms to strike or block sometimes
11. when holding a sword/stick type weapon i have a habit of changing to reverse/ninja grip sometimes/rarely
12. back then when i still active in martial
arts in terms of strength i was just more or less
somewhat just a bit above average, i was more into speed and technique
back then...though that was back then...things change
13. i am not fully ambidextrous in martial arts just slightly but not fully ...i have a habit of focusing on my left or right stance (if you know what i mean) depending on the situation
14. have a bit of background in Kung Fu during high school and then changed to Arnis by around college...and after college kinda stopped since yeah don't have a sparring partner anymore to keep me motivated
15. also as Haywire put it i move around a bit too much...sometimes i still can't seem to remove my old habits
16. not sure if this helps...i am year of the fire tiger in the chinese zodiac
...
If I had the budget to find a martial arts trainer... Do you have any suggestions on where I should apply and what discipline to take?
