    I wonder how many people in this thread actually have kids and see the kid as more than just an immediate burden (or something to be terrified of)...

    I'm not pro or against aborting the baby, mind you, I'm just curious. I imagine most of you are in college and the idea of having a baby yourselves it terrifying. So, it's a small step to pass judgment over someone else outside the norm...

    There was also the practice of 'exposing' unwanted children, which just meant leaving them in the middle of the damn wilderness

    A red stripe worn down the outside of the legs on dress blue uniforms. It is worn by noncommissioned officers, warrant officers and commissioned officers, traditionally to honor the high number of casualties among those ranks at the Battle of Chapultapec in the Mexican War.

    for one, that's entirely subjective

    Aikido is an amazing pacifist art that focuses on being centered and calm which is invaluable in any number of non-combat situations; I've studied Aikido in a peripheral way and found the philosophy to be highly motivating. Aikido...hmmm...Aikido is being the center of the whirlwind, moving, turning, and redirecting the energy of the opponent to induce a fall or a lock. It's impressive as all hell in a one-on-one fight and even against multiple opponents, but it's not designed for bar brawls if that gives you any reference. It's also an excellent way to prevent injury from random accidents such as being pushed down stairs in the event of unwanted pregnancy.

    Karate is what I've studied since I was eight, Shotokan to be specific, but I don't recommend it as a casual art; it takes years to master Shotokan, decades really, but Ishin-Ryu is one of the more 'competition' styles of karate and easier to get into. Keep in mind that it is primarily a striking art and much more linear than other martial arts. Excellent for stand up fights, average on groundwork and grappling.

    Kung Fu is an entire thread in and of itself. I love it's fluidity and grace, it's smooth power and it's history, but Kung Fu is another one of those that requires absolute dedication to gain true proficiency. Ask Vivivixenne.

    Juijutsu is brilliant at groundwork; most fights go to the ground in a matter of tens of seconds if not less. For all of it's excellent teachings at groundwork, it's a mistake to think that a practitioner is useless at a stand-up. Juijutsu has switches for all the bitches, and much like Aikido, it's awesome at a one-on-one. However! Juijustsu is a bit more aggressive than Aikido so it attracts a certain kind of cocky bastard. Beware.

    More to come.

    Tae Kwon Do is often thought of as the 'Kickey-Thingey' and it's a damned shame because it's got all kinds of tricks up the sleeve. Besides, any unarmed art that can kick a man off a horse is worthy of some serious respect. More circular than mainstream Karate and just as accessible, TKD is a damned good choice for cardio, self-defense and general health. If you take up with it, you need to be aware that you will be kicked in the head. A lot.

    Kickboxing is by far and away the easiest to find a class for and the easiest to get into and out of with decent results. It's boxing plus kicking so you will have a range of self-defense options that are fast, efficient and easy-to-learn. As a non-dedicated, casual practicing style, it's the one I recommend for most people since it works off of body mechanics you use without knowing every damned day. It's also what I used as a foundation for my self-defense classes when I assisted with a couple of classes.

    So there you have it, for what little it's worth.

    the discus was actually invented by women who were upset by doing dishes

    which is why i have never done the discus.

    the shotput on the other hand, i have been to track meets and been rolled over and dominated by mentally retarded people.

    so would an aikido class be too much if I have pretty much no experience with martial arts? it sounds like something that would be pretty damn useful to be educated in. but it sounds like kickboxing is more basic and might be the better choice

    It really depends on how diligent you are and what results you're going for.

    Cardio? Awesome results with a trainer, slower results without.

    Self-defense? A medium to large sized punching bag will be enough to start with in your spare time, but you definitely need someone to show you proper punching and kicking mechanics. I've seen people shatter wrists and ankles on a bag because of poor technique.

    Well once you learn how to guard properly it becomes pretty easy to avoid being hurt in a fight.

    As far as fighting back, in the fights I've been I tend to use many more elbows/knees than punches/kicks.
