Oh, thank you for your answer! I sure will look for kyokushin. I know there's a Gracie BJJ gym in Ahuntsic, I will look it up too! On a side note,...
Yes, it helps, of course! Thank you for your answer! :-)
Interesting. Thank you for your answer! On a side note, I hope the aiki dojos will be able to practice despite social distancing measures. I may...
Greetings! I hope you are well. Here I come with my third thread in this website, again to try to understand the differences between styles...
Thank you for your answer! Yes, of course, one has to go and see the dojo by himself, all these discussions are just so I don't go there...
Thank you for recommending a place to me! Unfortunately it is far from where I live. It's a tough question, for which I myself don't necessarily...
Pricing! That's the word I was looking for. Ok, thank you for your answer!
It looks very nice, honestly. I'll have to pay them a visit! Does it cost a lot? I wrote them a message about the price but they haven't answered...
Alright, thank you for your answers! Yes, I tend to agree with you, that sparring is important. Otherwise it's just predetermined scenarios. I'm...
Thank you for sharing this with me! I'm definitively considering their dojo, only thing is, it's a bit far from where I am. But still, I'm...
[Follow up, because I hit "post reply" by accident.] The dojo that I am looking at appears to be a Bujinkan dojo. I will probably go and check...
Thank you all for your answers. Yes indeed, as I have said elsewhere, I am not kidding myself into believing that a ninjutsu dojo will teach me...
I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that I should do muay thai, or are you asking me if I was doing muay thai? If the former, then yes,...
Greetings! I hope you are well. Some people might have met me in another forum, where I asked a question about aikibudo, aiki jujitsu, and...
Thank you for your answer. To be honest, I am not kidding myself into believing that I will learn how to become a ninja in a ninjutsu dojo, but if...
Wow! Thank you for this detailed answer. I really appreciate it. This is something I appreciated from my former dojo. The two sensei are cops,...
This conversation really got out of hand, haha! But seriously, thanks everybody for your advice. For an update, turns out my wife mostly wants to...
Thank you for the very detailed answer! On a side note, I would love to do some aikido! I find locks fascinating. But not now, maybe later in life.
Thank you for the advice! Yes I will keep that in mind.
Yes I'm trying to initiate my wife to that but it's not her biggest hobby haha! And my friends are not much into sparring/wrestling, except one....
Yes indeed, and for some reason that hadn't crossed my mind. But now that I think about it, yes of course I could do just that. How silly of me! :-P
Thank you for your detailed answer! And thanks to all others who have commented thus far. I can't answer to everyone because answers are piling...
Then perhaps I'm not using the word competition correctly, but all in all I think you understand what I am trying to say. I guess the proper word...
Simply that I don't want to compete. I don't want a sport with referee and rules. I do want to actually fight in the dojo, not just learn katas;...
Haha! Will do. But I don't think that'll happen. I'm probably too old for that, haha!
Thank you for sharing your opinion.
That's actually what I was looking for, but found nothing near me. If you know any dojo in Montreal (Ahuntsic), please let me know.

In my last dojo, there were free time to actually fight. The art was non-competitive, but during that free time, people would put on a helmet and...
What would you recommend, then? Something more in the line of MMA, BJJ or Muay Thai?
