I am fairly new to the world of martial arts and it wasnt long ago I was an 'outsider'. When I first got interested in the possibility of taking up martial arts I did some research into what classes were running in my area. I had the choice of Karate or Judo. Karate seems a bit more glamorous than Judo hence why I picked Karate. Other Martial Arts dont seem as accessible to the everyday member of the public. Now I have spoke to a few like minded individuals at my karate classes I have found out that there are several other martial arts running in the area that I never really knew about. I think these Martial Arts need to promote themselves more as if I had never started my karate classes I would never have known about the others.
