diamondick, I find that very offending. you know what's sad? You're telling others they need to learn how to cook/whatever because they are a female, yet you probably couldn't pour milk into a bowl of cereal. I'm sorry kid, but it ain't ancient China no more, it's the twenty first century, and it's sad the kind of beliefs some people like you have. Though if you are in your eighties or above, I can understand.. you probably are. Sorry, but people like you just gets me PO'd.

https://www.wingchuninteractive.com Go there, and go to the centerline section. Shows where the centerline is and stuff. It's a cool site.

Kensai, which style of aikido do you practice? there's an aikido forum and e-budo i think.. if you want to talk to other aikidokas about aikido.

this is just a suggestion-- since you can't seem to find a bujinkan or any other schools nearby, why not try TKD until you can find a better school? just an idea... It might help you get ready for whatever other art you might want to take in the future.

also do lots of cardio: running, jump roping, jumping jacks, walking, etc

hmm whoah.. i just realized that i eat a lot of junk foods.. maybe that's why no matter how much i exercise i can't seem to lose a single pound!! geesh... a waste of 2 months.. ugh..

uhh.. i'd like to stay where i am. the smallest change can make the biggest difference.

I think it's good that they don't teach weapons until a certain level so the students can focus on other stuff in the beginning. i don't think people should learn weapons until their at least 12.. just in case they get injured, but of course this depends on the person too. just my two cents<---what is that suppose to mean anyway?

Xpoison Frex, that sounds like a cool art. There's a Small Circle JJ place nearby me, so I might think about checking it out. Do you know any websites with info about it?

three60roundhouse, I'd rather just wear a comfy shirt and pants.

whoah.. crazay.. I thought everyone would hate their gi. I still do. Am I the only one??????!

i think womaf organziation teaches combat taekwondo.. but it's not a big organazation, it's really small actually. i doubt anyone here heard of it. i don't think this helps any, but if u do find a taekwondo school in the womaf organzation, it's combat tkd.

Why must you call different arts useless when you have never taken it? It simply shows how much you really know. Stop assuming. Anyway, click here for some info on TSD. http://www.tang-soo-do.org.uk/history.html

Okay.. Here's a question. Does everyone/anyone in here hate wearing those ugly white uniforms? I know it's tradition and all, but I HATE it! It looks bad on Everyone Plus, it makes me look fatter then I am... So, who here hates wearing them?

Hey, read kichick's post called, "Newbie to martial arts"

LOL, but watch this... make sure to have your volume up high so you can hear it. http://www.top-greetings.com/G.py?P=/art/503/

Hello and welcome. P.S. is it just me, or are more people joining lately?

hiya kickbuttmom. welcome to the forums, cya.

hey all, in your opinion, which two arts would go together better(SD, etc). hapkido and tkd or tkd and wing chun? thanks ya'll.

welcome spongebob. are you ready kids? aye aye captain! I can't here you. Aye aye captain. He lives in a pineapple under the sea, spongebob square pants blah blah blah..

i havent gotten the book yet*still trying to save money** but i know there are hindu squats, hindu push ups, stretches(i think), and back bridges. im sure there's much more then that though. how long is the book?

an old geezer is someone over 10, that way, we can all be an old geezer and make the real old geezers not feel like an old geezer, ya know what i mean?

are you sure there are only taekwondo schools nearby? coz a lot of good schools don't advertise. go here: http://search.worldpages.com/bin/cgidir.dll?FUNC=DSTSRCH&MEM=288 remember, under the category section, DO NOT type in the style you are looking for, but just type it "self defense" or "martial arts" hope u find whatever you're looking for.

tha's why you don't tell anyone you take it, other then your closest friends maybe

wing chun is meant to be learned pretty fast i think, but probably not as fast as muay thai. and all the arts are suited for real life situations.... but i guess it all comes down to how/where you train.
