Yeah, i have aload of room for one, so should be okay, when i get around to getting one......

Well as i said, the girlfriend may not like it, but hey! So twice a week and a punchbag at home should do it? And one day i shall be a CCIE!

You can be as good at fighting as you want, but if some 16 stone beast whacks you in the face, you are going down, no two ways about it. Of course, not getting hit would be good!!!

I would say KickBoxing, or just Boxing!

My old school never really said anything, which is a shame, i think girls should be encouraged to go to self-defence class, and a lot of large companies like you to do this sort of thing. My Uncle and I.T instructor who both were in the army said it would be a good idea, as they both work in I.T, and there is nothing worse than becoming a fat computer freak!

But for the long run a harder bag is better, i guess.

Thought someone would say that! Yeah, i am doing A+,N+ and CCNA (I.T studies) on monday, tues and fridays, and my lesson is on Thursday, maybe i should think about Saturday, dont think the girlfriend will be happy though Thanks alot. And what sort of punchbag? I have done abit of TKD before, and there punchbags were soft, the kickboxing ones are alot harder... Or is that just the places i went to?

I have just started Kickboxing about 2 weeks ago, and have been twice, the first time i went after i was dead, but the second time was better! The place looks like something out of Rocky!!! We have learned 2 kicks, and 3 punchs so far, and the blocking stuff, and we hit the bags afew time, which i really enjoyed! I am going to do it once a week for an hour each time, i am not looking to become superman, but just fit and good knowledge of self-defence. I was hoping you may have some tips for me? And should i buy a punchbag for my home? I am 16, and 5'11, and i am slim-to-medium build.

I keep mine at just under my eyes, protecting my nose.
