Depends what you want. If you want to learn how to fight, then boxing/muay thai mixed with bjj or judo will give you what you need. For sport, tkd, kickboxing. For history, tradition, hobby, one of the Japanese weapons arts would suit you For the long haul (health, flexibility, longevity), then it has to be the internal arts.

The essence of what the Buddha taught can be summed up in ten words. 'All that is subject to arising, is subject to ceasing.' I'm not talking about Buddhism. The Buddha didn't teach Buddhism. That came hundreds of years later along with different sects, sub sects, sutras, mantras, rituals and dogma. The Buddha taught liberation through insight (vipassana). Seeing things as they are. 'All that is subject to arising, is subject to ceasing.' Reflect on these words. Contemplate their meaning. Meditate upon them. Over and over. Day after day. You don't need anything else. This is a pure undiluted simple teaching but it's depth is unfathomable. Eventually you will understand and your whole world will change. SM

Hi everyone. It's good to be here. Been into nei gong, martial arts and meditation for as long as I can remember. Looking forward to exchanging views and opinions on all types of topics. SM

Exactly. That's why the essence needs to be understood.
