The spelling is 'calisthenics' or 'callisthenics' and not 'calisthanics'.\n\nAfter a few days of callisthenics together, we added more simple karate exercises.  Every morning we have two hours of callisthenics and drill before breakfast.

They just made it legal to do one butterfly kick during the breastroke pullout\n\nIt's really just a way to justify their huge mistake of not DQing Kitagima at the Olymps for kicking on every pullout..

Muai Thai would tear up an Aikido practitioner... pretty much any art is effective against TKD, its not a fighting art, its a sport.

Of all 3, I'm chosing Pacman Pacquiao. Why? First and foremost he's a Filipino and nowadays, Filipinos are ruling this weightclasses. Second and the most important thing, Pacman has KO'd both these losers. They oughta change how they call themselves. They should no longer be called Mexicans. From now on they should be called MEXICAN'TS. Oh and in November, Pacman will knock the living hell out of Morales. After that match, Morales will retire a LOSER!!!

Ok, I'm gonna stop this one with one fell swoop. There is NO cure-all one move to win anything. Period. With that said, I can direct you along a path of finding a martial art that fits you:\n\nKarate: Okinawan. Covers Percussion. Civil Art. Kara- meaning open or empty depending on translation. -te originally meant Chinese Hand but they later changed it to just hand after the Chinese were driven out. Derived from White Crane Kung Fu. Believes in hardening the body against strikes and striking hard is the key.\n\nKung Fu: External Chinese. Most cover percussion, projection, and armament, with a few covering immobilization as well. Usually either martial or civil art. There are SO many systems within the term kung fu that it is hard to describe this system effectively. To say the least the best Kung Fu I have seen was in Dallas, and was translated to the Water-Fire Kung Fu.\n\nAikido / Aiki-jujutsu: Japanese. Covers immobilization with slight touch on projection. Civil Art. Was originally derived from Nihongo Jujutsu or Japanese Jujutsu (honestly I hate that I have to specify WHICH jujutsu compared to Brazilian or American… as if you would get an French taco or Russian sushi). Aikido has sadly become one of the snobbiest “styles” out there and they insist that what they do would work in real combat, although only about 10% of EVERYONE who is involved with that system knows what they’re doing. Though I will admit those that do, can do some beautiful Aiki.\n\nJudo: Japanese. Covers projection. Sport Art. Another derivative of Nihongo Jujutsu. A sport derived from the throwing system used in Japan’s combat. As with all sports, there are certain things that they threw out as “illegal moves” due to their effectiveness therefore making the “style” weaker.\n\nBrazilian: Japanese origin. Covers a portion of Immobilization and Projection. Martial Sport. This “style” was made famous by the Gracie family after they were originally taught by a Japanese man who refused to show them any more than the grappling section of Jujutsu. So they concentrated on the art of ground fighting. Most people that do Brazilian are extremely competitive and aggressive in nature.\n\nTaekwondo: Korean. Percussion. Sport Art. This is a primarily kicking “style” and is considered one of the most famous “styles” in use. Another system that is sport / competition based they rely heavily on flexible and fast legs. Originally a derivative from a certain school of Karate which name eludes me at this moment.\n\nKrav Maga: Israeli. Um… Percussion? Military wannabe. I REALLY don’t suggest this system unless you’re looking for a Billy Blanks on steroids kinda feel. This system was built to teach the foot soldiers of Israel a quick, brutal and less than effective hand-to-hand fighting method in a matter of a week, so seriously, don’t bother.\n\nThose Russian arts: Mainly knife junkies who think they know what they’re doing. More flashy than anything else, don’t fall for the hype.\n\nPilipino: Mostly Stick and knife, and they are not for the faint of heart, although not much art to the system, it seems those whom you can find who actually know what they’re doing are pretty good with a knife and stick but that’s it.\n\nMMA: Mixed martial arts. Probably the worst thing that has ever happened to martial arts besides Krav maga. The concept of mixing martial arts is taking a system that is inferior and mixing it with another inferior system to hopefully make up for the gaps left by the other one. For example: Karate doesn’t have Immobilization, so lets throw in Aikido and Brazilian, and those don’t have projection so lets throw in Judo, and all of those don’t have armament so lets throw in Pilipino. \n\nThere are zillions of others that I’ve missed because in order to catch them all, I’d have to write a book, which is stupid, but here’s the names of a few so you can look them up: Savate, Kenpo, san shou, shuai-chiao, gr

Jumping the gun a little bit aren't you.  When training in any martila arts don't look to the future.  Train on what you are learning now andget down the basics.  Take your time.  I am 30 years old.  I started Taekwondo when I was 12.  At 19 I was a red belt black stripe and took Phase one black belt testing.  Before I took the final phase a few months later I joined the Army and Started at a new taekwondo school  but since I was new at the school I wanted to start as a White Belt.  Attained red Belt there and then was Sent to Oklahoma and I started as Guess what??  White Belt again.  Then Germany  as a White Belt and now I am in Washington and Got out of the Army and when I started Taekwondo here guess what I started as?  Yes White Belt.I am not in a rush to get a Black Belt the color really means nothing to me.  Since I am going to be in Washington for a while I might as get Black belt while I am here and Also since I have been training for about 18 years.  So in closing color of the belt means nothing to a True artist.  If thats all you care about then you are taking Martial arts for the wrong reason.

Yeah that was kind of silly but there is probably one guy who spent a thousand dollars making the graphics for the background of the punch stat board that needed justification or something. Thats the third devastating body punch I saw end a big money fight in the last couple years. Hopkins/De Lay Hoya and Ghatti/Dorin. The latter actually put Dorin in retirement too

There are many martial arts schools that teach weapons at more advance belt levels but rarely few that actually have students spar with them. The two martial arts I've trainined in that teach weapons and they are taekwondo and shotokan karate. Why don't you try kendo?
