Question

Which one should I sign up in and why and is their any Kyokushin karate near murrieta or temecula please help and tell me the difference of all of them and what they are usefull for and I like all of them.

Answer 1

kyokushin karate is a very rigid style of karate founded by perhaps the best karate practitioner ever. It focuses mainly on stand up but most schools these days recognize the importance of ground work and incorporate wrestling into the curriculum. You can rest assured your probably getting something good with kyokushin because its such a tried and true karate system. MMA  is simply a mix of a striking art and a wrestling art, i don't know that much about the state of school in your area or how much contact you would be in so you would have to investigate that your self. Krav Maga is an Israeli military combat system. Now again i don't know the quality of the schools in your area, but as of late Krav Maga has turned more into a aerobic class deal. Its not likely they are good school in your area because unless you were in the Israeli military im not sure how you could get certified or have any kind of lineage. But just go to school in your area, check em out, make sure its the real deal and that the people you are training with are generally same age, and same size as you. And oh yeah if there are kids with an adult level black belt, get the h**l out of there. One more thing INSTRUCTOR > ART, no martial arts is better than any other ( unless its Tae Kwon Do, then the other ones better) take a good teacher over a "good" martial art any day. Good Luck
