A free mini-guide about how to choose the right martial art

It does not exist a perfect martial art nor a perfect instructor nor a perfect course, what we can try to do is simply to:

Choose the path that is closest to our goals
Find something as much as possible practical and honest

All that remains is in our hands.

Note – This article has been asked by one of our Core Course practitioners on Patreon (see how to attend our home study classes here Learn Kung Fu online: a beginner-to-expert course).

This mini-guide was born with the idea to help to:

Choose the right martial arts (between the infinite number at our disposal)
Avoid the biggest mistakes (the ones that most of the less experienced fall into)
Avoid the kind of bitter disappointments that can take away from the martial arts world
