What is the best martial art school in Los Angeles county?

Martial art school types I’m looking for include Kung Fu and Tae Kwon Do. I would also be interested in a web site that rates martial art schools.

Are there any African martial art schools in Texas other than Capoeira?

I have some history with different styles of martial arts, like long fist shaolin kung fu and tae kwan do, but I’ve become interested in more African oriented martial arts to suffice my cultural heritage and combative interests. I know Capoeira has its roots in Angola, Africa but my two closest friends practice it, and I feel its a bit unpractical. I do like the dance aspect but fail to see it used effectively with the lack of hand techniques and its need for large spaces.

I need help choosing a Martial Art Style.?

Ok I live in North Carolina and i was wondering if someone could help me decide witch style would be best for me I am 16 now but i wouldn’t be able to do anything now i am trying to find a style for a couple years from now when i am out own my own i have always been interest in martial arts mainly in japanese sword styles like Kenjutsu , Iaidō or Kendo or even Aikido or even a Chinese style like Tai chi chuan but i am a large guy i am 6 feet tall about 300 pounds and a little over year ago i had back surgery because i was injured and i want to learn discipline and get my stamina back because since the surgery i can not stand more than 25-30 minutes now there are 2 martial art schools in my area there is a Tai Chi Chuan school witch i was kinda leaning to because i get very stressed someti and i thought it would help with my stress but can someone give me some opinions to witch style i should choose out of the style i have listed or you can suggest some others answers will be appreciate
ps i have never participated in any martial art style

here are two different martial art schools im interested in… based on my goals which ones better for me?

BOTH SCHOOLS HAVE GREAT TEACHERS THAT DESCENDED FROM BRUCE LEE
1) http://www.newkungfu.com/GMAS_TsunJo.html
2) http://www.nwkali.com/classes.htm

For a real life situation (street fight) which martial art better equips you to win….tsun jo wing chun kung fu or…Jeet Kune Do?

I like Jeet Kune Do due to the fact that bruce lee is my biggest hero. However i also happen to be VERY interested in tsun jo wing chun kung fu due to the fact that it is one of the only martial arts ive seen that is a street-practical martial art.

Im 16, 5’11, 208 lbs and im looking for a martial art that will help me to 1) be able to defend myself against 1, 2, or even 3 attackers in a REAL life situation due to the times we’re living in…. 2) get in shape….. 3) hone into my chi or whatever word you guys use (ive trained for a couple months in taekwondo but budget ran low and now that im able to rejoin taekwondo just didnt satisfy the desires i have….i am interested in being able to fend off an attacker with a weapon, empty hand self defence, grappling/wrestling, striking, kicking, being able to use objects around me to help me…

now please dont get me wrong im not gonna go looking for fights i just wanna be able to protect myself if a fight comes to me…..My mom has lupus fibromyalgia rhumatoid arthritis spinal meleopathy and chronic fatigue so she is pretty infirm and the 24 min drive to your school would be quite hard for her until i get a permit

So i guess what im asking is…. based on my goals above…. which martial art will better equip me with what im asking for?

Any internal martial art schools near Harlingen Texas?

I am looking for a combat oriented school. I am willing to travel to Mcallen and Brownsville. I would prefer Tai Chi, any style, but would be fine with any internal style.
