Question

I just want to know because I want to start a good acrobatic martial art and I would like to know if there are any in glasgow or near glasgow and I already know about capoeira so got any more?

Answer 1

In addition to those already mentioned, there is a form of Kung Fu commonly called Monkey Fist, which although quite uncommon in the United States, is almost entirely based around acrobatic moves. Hou Quan is another name for the same form.

Answer 2

Tae Kwon Do has alot of flashy kicks I think. We have some guys in town here that do really flashy stuff...XMA...extreme martial arts. All kinds of flips and 360s and 720s and cool looking stuff that is pretty useless for defense (but is very showy).

Answer 3

Wushu is pretty acrobatic and fancy. They do all sorts of crazy spinning and stuff. Check it out on wikipedia (it's Wushu the sport), and on YouTube to see if it might be something you're interested in.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Answer 6

Tae q***r Do. Not to be confused with Tae Kwon Do, which is pretty good.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Capoeira, Wushu, and not TDK but XMA (extreme martial arts) which often gets confused with TKD because it was developed by TDK practitioners.
