Hello there;
Ever since recently I have been very interested in completing my university studies and taking a gap year to go study martial arts abroad. But what I am looking for is far from just combat, I am looking to delve into other aspects such as weapons, stealth or schools which extend far from unarmed combat.
I have done some research and I have found that the Japanese excel in these forms especially in ninjutsu. Reading it on wikipedia I find that not only does it focus on combat but in other forms as well. Now what I am asking here is what would you recommend for me and where I can travel in the world to get the best training out of it.
The reason I am asking to train else where is simply because I believe I will gain the most if I am training in the country of the art. I am looking for an experience, a new way of thinking something which will change me when I come back, and hopefully get the most out of it in I learn the most when it comes to unarmed combat. I find Jujitsu very interesting and I have actually taken a couple of lessons in it, but what doesn't interest me a lot about it is it focus's too much on it's ground game. I am looking for a martial art which is all rounded.
So what martial art would you recommend and what are some of the best academies which teach it?
