I want to learn grappling and striking in martial arts, and also weapons. what should I take?

I'm thinking about taking judo and kung fu or karate or even hapkido.

I've taken Tae Kwon Do and Hap Ki Do. Hap Ki Do has a lot of grappling/wrestling/bring the other guy down move typa things. I don't know about judo or kung fu but taekwondo was more kicking/punching/form, we did do board breaking though and weapons but barely if any grappling. Hapkido does weapons too, and striking but yeah a lot more focus on grappling techniques. Oh and be prepared to wait a while to start learning how to use weapons. Most places won't teach you weapons until you're a higher level, they won't let you at the beginning, usually around green belt is when they'll let you.


So I'd say hapkido, it has all the things you're looking for, grappling, striking, and weapons.

Reply:for striking, you can learn muay thai, kickboxing, combat savate


for grappling, judo Japanese ju jitsu, aikido, wrestling would be good


if you desire both in a single martial art, you should seek sanda (Chinese free boxing style) its a combination of striking and partially wrestling





for weapons training, you can practice wu-shu, or preferably escirma
Reply:Judo is mainly grappling and no weapons.


Karate normally is just striking and weapons.


Kung fu Chinese version of karate with weapons. There are many forms under the umbrella of kung fu some may include some grappling.


Hapkido mostly grappling with some strikes


Jujitsu (Japanese) strikes, grappling, and weapons.


Shorin ryu ( Okinawan style karate) strikes, take downs, and weapons.

Reply:I'd think --out of those three martial arts-- that Hapkido would be your best bet, since you'd get experience in striking and some grappling.





One of my Taekwondo instructors taught us some Hapkido...it didn't take us long (even those in the class who were 100% new to martial arts) to learn how to use some of those joint-locks.





And I love how only a few techniques can be used to defend against attacks --unlike how some other martial arts are taught (I'd rather learn one escape for different types of holds, than many types of escapes for one hold. )





I also think Hapkido has some weapons (and pratical ones, too, like the cane/walking stick) .





Although, some styles of karate have a good mix of striking/grappling/weapons...it depends on the style and dojo you go to.





Still, I'd advise trying out Hapkido first...then when you've got good experience in that, you can get more into grappling in judo or go into kung-fu or karate to get some weapons training (although you probably won't train with weapons in any of those styles for awhile)
