About Colin Wee Expertise Do you need some insight on your martial arts path? Do you find you're lacking direction? I'm happy to share my knowledge as a martial arts and self defence instructor.Colin does Traditional Taekwondo in Perth W. Australia.
Experience Started training in 1983 and have participated in three main styles in three continents over the last 23 years. I have a 4th Dan in Taekwondo, 1st Dan in Renzhe Kung fu, and while unranked, have trained for several years under an Aikijujutsu instructor. I have teaching certification from two organisations, and play an active role in an international martial arts organisation. The last couple of years have seen me researching and documenting the evolution of Taekwondo and its bunkai. My approach is to pair pattern applications and drills to student skill level. Lastly, while I enjoy the respect and comradeship from my colleagues, I am an instructor working with a small group of students, and am on my own martial path.

Question i have been fascinated with martial arts for as long as i can remember and would like to get into it. i live in a fairly large city and have numerous options to choose from. im in iraq right now so i cant visit them, but i have checked out all of the available web sites for the local schools and all claim to be the best in every aspect. go figure. ive read through a few discussion forums too. same thing, everyone claims that their style is the best.
what styles do you think are the most applicable in real life?
ive been toying the ideas of wing tsun, aikido or kempo. what is take on each?
thank you.
This is an article from a person I used to train with a long time ago - Toby is an excellent and talented martial artist in both Wado Ryu and Nihon Koryu Jujutsu. It talks a little about other people claiming to be "the best".
