Easiest Martial Art to learn?

[McDaniel]

This is a matter of opinion. What style of martial art do you think is the easiest to learn, and one that only takes a short amount of time to fly through the ranks.

what martial art styles dont have ranks?

Lol... I used to like the idea of flying through ranks and easy learning. In wrestling(i picked it up late, my junior year) the whole first year I was behind what I should have been for a 1st year wrestler... I think... for that reason. I wanted to bunch everything in and get good fast. The next year when I realised that it wasn't gonna happen that way, that I knew nothing, and that skill takes time and hard work, I became a great second year wrestler, giving people who wrestled since middle school(6 years) trouble. lol... so easy and fast is the wrong attitude. When you aknowledge you know nothing, you know the most.

Pick an art that fights your body type, natural strengths and such. Then get in great shape and commit.

It depends on your physical make up. Are you naturally flexible? Are you strong in your upper body? Lower body strength? Hip area flexibilty? Quality of instruction. Natural ability. Athleticisim.

You should present this as a poll and you will probably get better responses. It's never too late for the author to add a poll. Just a friendly suggestion.

I dunno, but it sounds like a good one to stay away from.

Running.


















No really, I mean like being a really, really good runner. Somebody who can run faster, longer, over and through most obstacles. Like some really fast Parkour-type runner. The only hitch is if you have to protect someone else who's not as good at running.

lol... I'd say U.S. armed forces... really... ummm... marines... army lol. They teach you to use firearms and to be proficient with them. If you can become a grand master able to hit an attacker with a full clip... you truley have found the easiest martial art.

I'm short young, not flexible, and I have upper body strenght....boxing, is that considered a martial arts.
what do you think I should try learning? Judo?

[J-Luck]

I'd go with firearms still... join the army, local gun club... or join a gang lol.

lol... ummm... flexibility can be increased... so get to work on that. Do you prefer grappling or stand up?

stand up, something I would use on the streets.....like one hit one kill.

lol... well then, guns are your ONLY option, short of eating some miketyson cerial. Set your options REALISTICALLY. Now... are you a standup guy or a grappler?

stand up. I got my black belt in TKD when I was a kid, and now I'm 16 (still a kid) and I want to learn a new art, becasue I dont quite remeber all of tkd, because I was. young.
I want to learn something with less kicking

Try boxing. Boxing will be the best conditioning you have ever gotten and it's footwork, hand skills,defense against upper body attacks, and developement of a chin(ability to take hits) is great for any martial artist/mma, or even just to know. Plus it's fun
