Too many choices ...
In case you haven't noticed, there is a huge variety of martial arts out there, originating from different countries, with different philosophies, and different purposes. While this can be simply overwhelming for someone looking to take up a martial art for the first time, dealing with these many possibilities can be tough even for a seasoned martial artist looking to try something new:
... not enough time ...
Unfortunately, the advice you will typically get is along the lines of "do your research, try different styles/schools, continue until you find the right one"; although correct, it's not very helpful. All of this can be time-consuming, frustrating, and even demotivating (some people just stop or never even start). But that's where we come in. Through this website we will help you greatly reduce the time required to find the right match for you.
... what's best?
Of course you may be thinking "just tell me which is the best martial art or the best school". And this is a valid question to ask as we all want the best in life; the problem is that this question is also irrelevant. It's like asking "what's the best color?". The issue with "best" is that it's subjective and will vary from one person to another. Through this website we will also help you find which martial art or school is best according to your preferences.

- What's the difference between style X and style Y (and all the rest)?
- Are any of these taught near me?
- Many schools are teaching the same style, which one should I choose?
