What martial arts schools/organizations do you consider credible?

Question

I notice a lot of folks downing various marital arts schools / organizations. Which ones do you consider to be credible & why?

Answer 1

Y/A is not the place to ask this question. First, credible is relative to each persons values. We all have different standards by which we judge things. Second, in asking in Y/A/ you are getting opinions from people which you no nothing about their qualifications and experience. Kind of like asking which martial art is the best. Most people will recommend their style.

Third, there are thousands of organizations out there.

Best way to ask this is to find someone, "that you know", that has many years of experience with the martial arts. Several people would be even better. Then you need to do your own research on the organizations. Then you are likely to pick a good one.

Answer 2

It really depends in the area that your from.I live in Indianapolis,we have many credible schools,also not so credible.Feel out the Instructor,go online and see what the school has to offer.The number of students says a lot.Watch some classes,and see what they do,if it looks like fake,it is.

Answer 3

Now when you say schools... Do you mean specific schools or the entire style itself? As far as organizations I'd say WTF and Bujinkan.
