I feal this website is very workable and useful.|||Jeet Kun Do.|||Hey man, I%26#039;m in the same boat. I%26#039;m 20, and want to start to learn how to defend myself, and keep my body in shape. My uncle is a two time black belt in tae kwon do, and he has recently started learning a new martial art kalled Krav Maga. Why? because he realized that tae kwon do is more of a sport than an actually effective martial art. So, that caused me to look into it, and dude, it kicks ***. It teaches you how to defeat your attacker quickly and efficiently with no fancy crap that doesn%26#039;t work. It is a blend of Karate, Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and a whole bunch of MA%26#039;s. The effective moves are taken, and the usless fancy ones are left. Also, the training sessions are very intense, but also very easy to learn. You%26#039;ll go home sore, but wanting more. So, ya, look into it. Or, some other martial arts I%26#039;ve looked into are Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and even just boxing.|||Drunken Monkey!|||Chayon-Ryu





one of the best, and most fun I%26#039;ve ever seen...personal opinion of course

eh just kidding. there are some physically advanced yoga classes that focus mainly on strength. that way you wont be stuck in karate with 4th graders. I cant remember the name of it, but I think starts with a %26quot;B%26quot; and you do it in a 120 degree (F) room. its crazy, but it seems like it would work. (bring water!!!)
