Hapkido is a great combination of dynamic throws and effective joint locks. Tae kwon-do is great for the lower body, due to flashy kicks and footwork. Karate is an upper body workout with hard throws and powerful hands. Judo offers a number of throws and takedowns for sparring in mismatched weight classes. All styles of martial arts have qualities that are great for sparring, for combat, for self defense, and can be appropriate for men, women, beginners, children, and even people like myself who have been studying and training for decades. Your benefit from any style of martial arts training is relative to the quality of your instructor. Knowing what the situation may call for and being able to adapt is more important than an allegiance to any one style. The question that every student should be asking is, “What am I looking for?” Your answer should be, “A great instructor,” regardless of style. Martial arts are like the people who study them, some are passive, and some are aggressive, and like your sensei, have their own personalities, some are defensive, some hard, some are soft.
