A Martial Art For A Woman?

I have the time, money, and desire to learn. I'm 5'2", 34 years old, 150 lbs. (but I have started a diet and am working out now, so the weight will go down). I have no medical problems that I know of at this time.

I don't want to only take a simple self defense class, I want to study a martial art. I know that it maytake years to get really good at a martial art, but I plan on being around for awhile, so I don't mind. :-)

Thanks.
LOL! Love your answer, Liz. I have a jumbo cannister, but I really do want to learn a martial art as well. :-)

At what age can I start my child on learning martial arts?

November 24, 2009

What is the best one to start with? Judo, Kick Boxing, Karate or another?

I want my child to be able to defend herself in a street fight in case she is attacked. Just knowing one kind of traditional martial art is not effective enough during a street fight since anything goes when one is attacked. So I want my child to be able to successfully defend herself and put the attacker in the hospital for a LONG time. At what age and with what martial art form should she start? I heard the Judo is great to start with, then kick boxing and then later on Jiujutsu. I do appreciate the Traditional martial arts, but form my experience during hand to hand combat anything goes and it is best to know how to respond to various forms of fighting styles.

Time To Get Good At Self Defense?

Question about timeframe to acquire self defense skills

How long would it take to get comfortable at self defense?

I know this is is a difficult thing to answer. There is a self defense class that i would like to take. Its based on Hapkido I believe but its for street self defense. Now, im a bit of a small guy and im just wondering, with average determination how long can i expect to train before i would feel comfortable defending myself in the "average" situation. Again I know there are A LOT of variables here, but can anyone give me any kind of idea what to expect? I really only have 4 or 5 months to train…
