I think you should look in your local phone book or do an online search. How many martial artists from Ayrshire do you think you'll find here?

It really depends what you are looking for in a martial art.  Do you want to learn to handle yourself in any situation on the street?  Do you want to compete in a ring, forms or weapons?  Do you want to learn stand up fighting or grappling arts?  Or do simpy want to know some cool kicks to show your friends?  It comes down to your personal goals.  \n\nI've trained for five years in Kung Fu San Soo.  I'm an advanced brown belt today.  I've learned free form fighting from day one, weapons forms from day one and learned extremely effective methods for defending myself and my family from day one.  I enjoy it but it's not for everybody.\n\nSearch for KFSS, Jimmy H. Woo or Kug Fu San Soo online and you will find more than enough sites that share history, teachers, shcools etc...  Good luck on your quest.  \n\nEnjoy the journey as much as the goal.\n\nOne word of caution (beware of McDojos), if you are forced to sign a contract that ties you to a large debt $2,500 or more WALK.  If they want you to pay huge bucks $150 per month (WALK).  There are plenty of fantastic schools and instructors who will teach you Japanese, Chinese, Phillipine, Korean or Thai fighting arts and not break your bank.  In SoCal the usual fee ranges $45 to $60 per month and private lessons start around $100 per hour.

Stephen K. Hayes used to have a dojo but that was a long time ago. Try GOOGLE. You'll probably have to go to Japan for that these days.

The name of the school won't always reveal what martial art a school teaches or the number of styles they offer. Asking what kind of martial art someone teaches is not a stupid question. There is a styles directory on www.martialartssites.com that will describe many different styles of martial arts to you. www. wikipedia.com is also good.\n\nHere's an old answer of mine that might help:\n\nHere's what I would do:\n\n\n1. Get a sheet of paper and write down exactly what kinds of benefits you wish to obtain from studying karate/martial arts. It's a good idea to know exactly what you want to achieve.\n\n2. Go to www.smartpages.com and look up MARTIAL ARTS INSTRUCTION in you city and state. It will tell you what martial arts are taught in your area and where the schools are located.\n\n3. Once you know what martial arts are offered in your area look up their definitions on the net. Note the similarities and differences between each. A good place to do that is www.wikipedia.com.\n\n4. Visit the schools in your area. Ask for a free class. Make sure you find a Master Instructor who is overseen by a larger governing body.For example: Many Tae Kwon Do schools belong to the World Tae Kwon Do Federation. Verify your instructor's credentials.\n\n\nSome Martial Arts:\n\nTae Kwon Do and Karate will provide you with a great cardiovascular workout. They will also tone you. For the best results go to class around 4-5 days per week and at least 20-30 minutes a day at home to practice your moves.\nKoei Kan and Isshin Ryu are two good styles of karate. You can also look up Kenpo.\n\nKrav Maga, an Israeli style of self defense, is a superb physical workout. Around 4-5 days of Krav with transform your body. I've watched it happen. Fair warning! The workouts are intense! Take a look at Jennifer Lopez in the movie Enough. She's doing Karv Maga.

There are books yes. Well there is a place nearby where I live that sells martial arts supplies such as swords, dvds, books, weapons, training manuals, weapons kits, and so on. It wouldn't be wise to do it on your own, but you can. I have a friend that has developed styles from watching others, he is quite skilled at martial arts.\nwww.wle.com

Tae Kwon Do is great for discipline and health, but I suggest that you learn about martial arts first to determine which art you prefer. try the library, and get a\nMartial arts encyclopedia. be careful their are instructors who claim to be certified to teach but aren't

Well there are tons of grappling, Judo, and Jujitsu schools. Are you partial to a certain type of Jujitsu (BJJ, Hakko Ryu, Daito, Yoshitsune)? Anyways, I will throw in a few websites for you to check out, just to get you started. I'm not too familiar with Southern Ca but the Gracies are over in Torrance. I believe Gene Lebell's protege, Gokor Chivichyan is in LA. Believe it or not, Southern Ca is the best place to learn grappling. I'm just not sure where you are in relation to all the schools. Hope this helps!
