The only reason why I would ever learn martial arts is because of self defense. I don't wanna look good or flex or anything. I just need to defend myself, while being injured the least and protect at the same time my wife. Thanks.
I'm an ectomorph — very thin and tall. Right now, I'm trying to gain some mass, and in the near future, I want to get into martial arts, not for competition, but for self-defense. I've narrowed it down to Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu (in case the fight goes to the ground). Is this the right choice? What martial arts would you choose in my place?
Looking for advice. I am going on a solo hike this weekend. I’ve gone on solo hikes before, but I have PTSD and am worried to go alone without my dog. She’s getting older and it’s a 6.5 mile trail. What should I know about self defense? I am very small. Thank you.
Because violence doesn't solve any issues , is there anyway if I can support and protect her in this situation with brains, instead of hitting.
I have fought before in different disciplines over the years, boxing, sub wrestling, tkd etc
The older I get the more I lose interest in the gym setting, I still keep up with fitness I'm my own gym 4 days a week, I still work the heavy bag and do mitt work with a partner but I don't have an interest in fighting again for sport, recently had children my mind is just on other things
The only thing I'm interested in doing now is protecting my family, I just don't want to freeze up without sparring if anything were to happen, I can obviously still throw a punch but not competition level cardio anymore.
Anyone have any advice on what the best thing to do is? Is my previous experience enough to get me out of trouble or do you guys think it's something that needs constant sparring to keep on top of.
Thanks for any advice
