Statement of Purpose

This project is an investigation of 5 Martial Arts styles. Self-defense is a major theme in martial arts today and to better understand how different martial arts schools and styles treat self-defense I am going to learn all I can (given time restraints) about each of the five styles. These schools will be chosen from a list of local martial arts studios, and the style will be the one that is taught at that studio. Many studios teach multiple styles, so in this case on of the styles taught there will be analyzed. At the end of the project all the schools I visited will be rated and scored to show in which areas they excel or by contrast, fall short.

Final Presentation

Hello Readers,
     Its been a long time, but, here it is, my final presentation. Now, for each style of martial arts I named some advantages and disadvantages, but we must remember as martial artists that these disadvantages are overcome by being a practitioner for a long peroid of time. The disadvantages are there mainly for beginining students. The original presentation was in power point and I presented it at Barrett the Honors college at ASU to my fellow students and my Teachers. The presentation is located in the new page, named power point. Please check it out!
Thank You
Mr. Waaler
