Whats some websites to learn martial arts for free?

Maybe like aikido or muay tai? It doesn't have to be really good ones because I just want the basics of some martial arts before I go and pay. Just a few strikes and holds?

    You can't learn realistic useful martial arts on your own. you need a qualified instructor to teach and correct what you do. You also need others to train with. Even boxers will tell you that you need a training partner and a coach to learn boxing. Otherwise you are only mimicking moves and have no timing, distance or real experience using it.

    A Little Knowledge Can Be Very Dangerous. Website martial arts are good for reference. Better to learn from a qualified instructor and/or master. When you learn something wrong sometimes it takes a long time to get rid of the bad habit(s).

    You are better off to visit a few schools and take an introductory lesson or beginner course.You can watch videos but you will only learn from a qualified instructor.

    You cannot learn any art like this from books, videos nor web sites. You have to pay but most instructors wroth their sash or belt will let you try or look befoer committment.
