All I’ve seen around is tiger shulman’s and a taekwondo place. But I can look for other things. What’s the best martial arts to learn? And if you can, give me some positives and negatives about each one.

Does having double jointed fingers make some martial arts harmful to learn?
My thumbs and middle fingers are double jointed. I want to take Eagle Claw and Tiger Claw Kung fu for mental and physical excercise. I don’t know if having double jointed fingers would be an advatage. Would this make me more prone to damaging my hands? I have been using Chin Na training rings and stones to strengthen my fingers for about 2 months, but still have reservations.

could i use asics onitsuka tiger tai chi shoes for boxing?
i herd they are martial arts shoes. we do allot of exercises during training. i wanted some adidas box speed champs but i don’t know how comfortable they’d be while doing exercises. (crawling push-ups, jumping jacks, mini squats, and other crazy stuff)

question for all martial artists, MMA , kung fu, karate, can you relate?
ok, so I love martial arts. I grew up with chinese kung fu. Xingyiquan and wing chun, and a little tiger style. But, I trained waaay different than most people. We actually sparred realistically, and Ive cross trained in Boxing, muay thai, dumog/kali, Jujitsu, and Krav maga. When I practice my wing chun and xingyiquan techniques on the heavybag I keep my chin tucked and my back slightly arched to stay compact.
When other kung fu people see my videos on youtube practicing, they say I should keep my neck straight and my back, and “untuck” my chin. Then they say my “Chi” projection is weak. lol……..
I love Chinese martial arts, and I think ALL martial arts can be practical if trained with a no non-sense attitude, but why to many Traditional martial artists try to make the simplest move and turn into rocket science? Hell, alot of kung fu people with train to do a million different things just to defend against a jab.
Fighting basically has 4 ranges. Kicking, punching, trapping, grappling.
Im not an MMA fan boy. Personally MMA is not martial arts. Its a sport version of it. Where are the knife fighters in MMA? But, I also tend to not like most Traditional martial artists either for their “cult” attitudes. Are there others like me who dont get along with most MMA and “strictly” TMA people?
Most of the people I get along with are JKD people. Because they see value in everything instead of trying to prove they are better.
THoughts?
note to kung fu guys- If you dont tuck your chin, go to a boxing gym, and see what happens
your wrong. I appreciate the spiritual side of martial arts. My sifu always taught me “wu de” – Respect, honor, virtue, and humility. But, why are martial artists so rigid?
