By legit i mean instructors who are actually good at the martial arts and know what theyre doing. I know a good way would be to go to a couple classes but it could be hard to tell by just a couple classes. The reason i ask is i have been practicing hapkido for 3 years, and i want to broaden my experience and learn Kung Fu and Tai Chi as well. i know this could be hard to fit all three classes in but its something i really want to do so how does one choose a good instructor?
Because that’s all you need in a street fight apparently. Or at least the guys that have been training for 10+ years (or whatever) always use that to their defense when talking about MMA. Yes we know MMA isn’t a life and death situation but it is as close to it as we can get. I would like to see some Karate Guy with 15+ years experience step into the cage of an MMA fighter who has been competing for 3 years and see who wins. Hell I’ll even say eye gouging and Ball Kicking etc. is legal. My money is on the MMA guy. Sorry

I had my first Kung Fu class last Tuesday, but, as I haven’t worked out in 3 years, I didn’t do too much. I must say the Master was patient, but still…..
I have been through horrible leg pain ever since….The stances require that we stand in a crotched position, if I am expressing myself correctly (English not my first language), and I also was slipping a lot because of the floor and had to flex my inner thigh muscles very much, to prevent myself from falling.
Anyway…..point is, it’s been almost a week, I didn’t even go to Tai Chi class, because I literally couldn’t even descend stairs or climb without cutting my breath in pain….and still the same.
What can I do to get rid of this pain and relax my muscles as quick as possible? Because I need to go train again, I can’t sit aside like this forever.
Thank you for your time!

I’ve been exercising regularly for 3 years now but recently I hurt my hamstring and realize I need better stretching techniques.
I have never been into YOGA but am thinking that it’s time…
What is a great beginners yoga video?
