Hi Chris and welcome!

A good instructor is someone who is a good example to follow.

I watched my older brother practice his moves at home, probably about 1970.

My other half does not like all the time that I spend in martial arts but she realizes that it could be worse, I could be going out drinking with the boys instead.

I just got a 5 week old American Bulldog puppy. I love her. Anyone else got a new pet?

I appreciate all aspects of training including forms which I enjoy for it's mental focus and physical development.

Hi Rob and welcome!

Release your frustrations in training harder! Fighting can put you in jail.....It can also get you sued, you may lose and get crippled or even killed, his friends or relatives might come after you, he might return with a weapon, etc.... BUT if he rushes you, do what you have to do.

Good info!......I'm one of the over 50 crowd.

Hi Alan and welcome!

It takes more energy to throw kicks than to throw punches.

Hi benyx and welcome!

Ask one of the advanced "small" guys to give you some strategies for sparring. Having someone who is in the same boat as you and has gone through the ropes will have better strategies for you than the bigger guys who don't have to deal with the same problem. I am not a tall person and I personally like to stay outside of a big guy's reach untill I see an opening, then get in really close to nullify their power.
