If you you do several years of karate or any other martial art you are going to do basic self defence anyway and then some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did Judo for 8 years. Any form of martial art as a kid is great for discipline and character building.Good on him for getting his yellow belt!

Master G Donating Members 511 Member For: 21y 2m 6d Gender: Male Location: Sydney NSW Posted 11/09/06 03:37 AM Share Posted 11/09/06 03:37 AM Its good to see a few of members of the forum involved in the martial arts. I have had the luck to teach professionally for the last 15 years and I get to celebrate 30 years of training next January. As far as self defence goes some styles are more focussed that way than others, many styles these days are far more tournament or sport focussed and don't cover a lot of the basic self defence material. Still regardless of the arts focus it is a good thing to have people participate.RegardsM G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QikSmurf Member 246 Member For: 21y 5m 16d Posted 11/09/06 12:21 PM Share Posted 11/09/06 12:21 PM Slymeat,Then you must know of Sensei Nabil. I trained with Kancho Sullivan last week and he still amazes me what he can do for a 59 year old.I think its great that kids learn martial arts. Self discipline and respect for others is a must in today's society.Good work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
