Does anyone know of any sites that have demonstrations of various techniques? I study ju-jitsu but would be interested in any other forms. The site that I go to for a lot of stuff is mmalibrary.com, but any recommendation would be appreciated.

I would be interested in a site that shows all the different kinds of martial arts and explains what they are like, as I'm interested in trying something other than Karate.

If you enjoy grappling and ground fighting I would suggest brazilian or traditional ju-jitsu.
If you enjoy striking, Muay Thai is pretty good.
Krav Maga is mostly striking as well.
Kenpo is combat with no weapons.
Judo is derrived from ju-jitsu but the emphasis is more on takedowns and throws.

Hope that helps.

There is a brazilian ju-jitsu class nearby that I had been interested in before, but had been too busy. I was thinking Kenpo would be good too.

I find it hard to believe that on one of the largest forums on the internet there are only two people interested in the study of martial arts.

If you're planning on taking bjj, be prepared to pay hefty monthly charges.

I took kung fu and tae kwon do long long time ago. One major difference from those two is that the way you make a fist is different and their reason for it is also different due to the fighting style.

I studied kempo (kenpo? whatever) for several years, I think it's a very balanced style.
