A. as many different types as you can,starting with a stand up style.or a style that is well rounded.heres a bit of info. A good well rounded style would be freestyle Karate.You will learn stand up,ground,grappling and weapons.What a lot of people don't understand is that freestyle Karate is about practical street defence not who can kick the highest or punch a pad the hardest.It's definitely not a sport martial art like TKD or BJJ.The motto of my style is the best of everything in progression.Basically that means we don't care where the technique comes from we improve it and integrate it into our style while still maintaining tradition as do most freestyle Karate's. The hardest thing is finding a good experienced instructor.I would recommend… [cont.]

What's the difference between culinary arts and baking?
Q. I really like making cakes and things, and I want a future that involves that. I looked at some University things and was wondering what the difference between baking and culinary arts is, like, isn't culinary arts just food in general? And which one is more successful in the world? Do bakers get paid more than cooks? And is there a chance to travel?

A. basically culinary arts involves cooking, not baking. you should take a pastry course if you want to learn more about cake making, and baking in general. as for salary, it kind of depends on how good you are and where you live, and the travel opportunities...that's kind of up to you

What kind of martial arts school should I go to for film and stunt work?
Q. I've done martials arts for 8 years. 4 Karate and 4 Tae kwon do. I think I'm pretty good but average schools don't exactly teach you how to do all the crazy high flying stuff in films. Now I know nowadays computer effects play a big role but I know you still have to have some talent if you only want to just do stunts or be a fight coordinator. How can I get that type of training?

A. Gymnastics is the way to go, if you can kick you can kick. The gymnastics will develop your flexibility and coordination emensly. The most showy art I know of for movie work is probably wushu though. That way you will learn all the weapons stuff too. It got Jet Li a long way. Or an alternative is the Beijing Opera School where Jackie Chan trained, but good luck getting a position there! Also, look for stunt groups in your area, groups like Team Ryoku are are all over the place now. The film industry is strange beast though, it can take a very very long time to get anywhere unless you have a contact or two but best of luck to you :-)
