Hi all,
My first post so thought i would say 'Hi' to start with.
I'm sorry this is probably a topic you get all the time, but i really have no idea where to start looking for info.
I'm interested in learning a new style, i currently do Muay Thai/Kickboxing and have found it to be great fun, but i have, due to recent experiences, become aware that there are some short comings in this style. I'm looking for a style that is fairly complimentary to what i have already learnt, i.e. i'm looking for a 'soft' style that uses lots of throws, joint locks etc as the kickboxing covers the 'hard' style well enough for me.
One of my friends said i should look into Kempo/Kenpo as it is a really good practical style, thoughts?
The other style is was considering was some form of Jujutsu or Ninjutsu. I want a practical style that can be used for those situations where you just want to drop someone who say grabs you from behind in a headlock.......as happened recently.......so you can regain the initiative.
Any suggestions or theories?
Cheers
