Thoughts? If you were placed in the same situation, what would you do? What if you saw this happening in a street setting?

Would/Have you bought a gi for $60-$100? Is that too much?

Thank you all.

I have been debating this for a past couple of days now, should I bulk up or not? Almost everyone in my martial arts class is pretty bulky and I feel like I don't stand a chance when it comes to kumite or even fighting (real life situation) for that matter. I mean on the one hand I do understand with proper technique, timing, etc I might be able to subdue, nutralize etc an a person, but on the other I am not sure if I am bulky enough. I am 21 years old, 5'4 and currently about 120-125ibs.

Yup

Any others? I have seen those...

As the subject says, any new martial arts movies? any new documentaries?

Hitting a female in self-defense? Your thoughts? Have you ever had an experience where you were put in that position?

I will definitely try the ball and string as well as makiwara,thank you all.

I want to improve the precision of my punches as well as strengthen my knuckles,should I get just one? Or both? I would get focus mittens but I have no one to really practical with p.s this is for karate

Start your sentence with "If bruce lee were alive today..." and finish it.

State the type of fighting style(s) you have learned. Have you ever used it to defend yourself? If so, what was the outcome? p.s my mistake. I posted this question in general martial arts, but I think it belongs under self defense...

what to buy with $20? Martial arts related of course.

How do you guys feel about monkey fits? Should I get one? The one I am getting is going to have a metal ball inside. or should I stick with a Kubaton?

It's 12:05 and I have sweet tooth, to eat or not to eat this snickers bar? Why?

^ Thanks! =)

@JusticeZero I mean fearing no one, being fearless

I understand you must train the body in order to do martial arts, but are there any ways to train the mind? Become mentally stronger....besides mediation

Any good Karate documentaries? Besides empty hand the real karate kids...

aikido vs jiu jitsu, What are the differences between the two?

Hello everyone!

I just started martial arts and was wondering, is it normal for instructors to start sparring lightly as soon as you get your yellow belt and then actually do full contact sparring as soon as you reach your black belt? or should it be sooner?

I have just started Wado-Ryu Karate and was wondering, how do I make my kicks stronger/faster? (My left is stronger than my right)
