 |
|
| I have been training in Krav Maga for four months and the school I go to has Akido and I have always loved this martial art. My question is should I train in a Full Contact style or a style with more technique? I want to do both. |

| Do Both then. After a while you'll realize by yourself if you feel confortable doing that. If you Do, then its okay, if you don't, then stick with the style you like the most. |

Krav Maga=Taking the battle to them 
Aikido=Bringing the battle to you 
2 philosophies that couldn't be any farther from each other. It'll all depend on you as you train in each style  . |

| If you have always liked Aikido, then by all means, take it. It certainly couldn't hurt anything....permanently anyway. |

i wanna learn wing chun + another kung fu style , but i dont know what would be a good idea because the wing chun 99% frontal attacks , never attack, using a side of your body.
i dont know if you got what im trying explain, maybe another wing chun can help me

wing chun takes a long time to master even the basics and it has some very idiosyncratic traits.
i would suggest you concerntrate on just one style and get proficient in it before deciding on taking another.

There really is no correct answer. Personally, I think that one should become really proficient in one art first as a base. You are not going to Pride or anything, so there is no need to try to duplicate their mentality in training.
