More of like what do you prefer/are biased towards or what do you recommend to people who want to do martial arts.
I respect all arts but in my opinion, Bajiquan is first. It has everything one needs.
Excuse my English.

Your English is better than some Aussies I know...some I'm actually related to.
I'm biased towards Kyokushin because it was my first decent martial arts school. I'm biased towards Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu because they're my current styles and again taught by a good school.
I've always wanted to try Monkey Kung Fu. The idea of a drunken, acrobatic me is just amusing.

I also like Muay Thai and Boxing. I'm even thought about doing some Boxing or Muay Thai to complement my Baji but I don't know if that could work.

Any extra training can compliment if you're going to good schools. Sparring with different people who have different approaches and different methods will make you more adaptable, in my opinion it doesn't matter if you don't learn a single technique from your second school, as long as you get to test what you're learning at your first against people who do it differently or don't believe in it at all.

I love Boxing. Not just training in it but the history. I love watching old fights and films about it. At the moment I just watch a film about the rumble in the jungle between Foreman and Ali. It's great.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as well. Got into it watching the UFC and thought it would be great to add to my Boxing. Boxing has little clinch and BJJ has made me comfortable in it as well as the ground. Also grappling is fun because its so different to striking.
Wing Chun was my first and I still love it. I incorporate aspects, especially the stance for when I have no gloves.

i enjoy just training. i would recommend an instructor over a style. what good is the style if the instructor can't teach worth of crap. just because a person has a store front and a lot of students doesnt mean he can teach or is effective in his teaching. i have know many instructors that have small classes in community centers far more effective in there teachings then the ones in store fronts.
the quality of the instructor to me matters far more then anything, which is the reason there is so many mcdojo's, people care about the bottom line and not about there students.

I really enjoy Krav Maga, out of all the styles I've tried it was the best fit, physically and philosophy wise. I'm quite interested in Kali, and am hoping to be able to learn some Sanshou while I'm living in China for a while.
