I learned to take a man's punch (totally different than a woman's, believe you me) when I was in my first serious relationship.  He started beating me like I was a guy while I was pregnant.  The guy was also the biggest bad-@ss around at the time, ironically.  His own mother was terrified of him.  I learned all that while being with him, not before.  After escaping that mess, I married a man who also thought he would teach me a thing or too.  But by then I had learned to dish out what anyone thought they would give me.  \n\nLet's just say that I also had a 'unsatisfactory' childhood, or lack thereof, and homelife.  I learned early on how to survive as well as fight back.  Not surprisingly I got in a lot of fights, guys as well when they thought to lip off, in school and into young adulthood.  I've had to fight for everything in my life, one way or another.  I'm still young...but I've come a long way and learned a lot.  I try not to fight anymore, but I WILL defend myself and if someone else starts it, I WILL end it.  But I don't go around looking for a fight, or trying to start any, or claiming that I'm some bad@ss who can whip the world...believe me, there's always someone out there who is badder.  I'm just not going to take anyone's unneccessary or disrespectful B-S.\n\nNeedless to say, I haven't had anyone actually pick a fight with me in years and really with today's laws and standards I'm glad for it.  I only enjoyed fighting when I was young, dumb, and raving mad at the world.  I had so much rage that I would just snap.  Now that I am older and wiser, it takes a lot to push me to that dark point.  Even when young, I didn't actually enjoy fighting, I was too full of rage to enjoy the fights I was in.  And people who claim to love fighting aren't that mature and also, have never been in a real fight where you are so scared of dying or being beaten so badly that you are fighting for your life, just to survive.  Even in a lot of cases of a real fight, you may be winning but you are still getting beat pretty bad as well; it hurts like hell when you've come up against an equal opponent and it's not only a victory of pride when you've won, but relief to have survived the battle as well.

James, \n\nI love it! It's totally awesome that you've built your own site, a nifty skill to develop at your age. I really love the pictures, especially the action shots, and am envious of your obvious martial arts prowess. I've always wanted to learn martial arts, and haven't squished it into my life yet. So how about adding some text about why you choose martial arts, what it means to you, and where you hope to go with it? You might add a few graphics, maybe a neat background and some color, but I like what you have. You are well on your way to building an awesome site.\n\nBest wishes,\n~Tia~\nLive from the big, purple brain\nhttp://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/asktheplanet/brain.html\nASK YOUR QUESTIONS, CALL THE BRAIN - 212-382-3592

Nah, unless you're like 50.  Then you should probably give your guys a little more of a chance to impress you.

No, it is NOT appropriate to spank a 14 year old. go see a guidance counselor at school so that you and your family can get some help. Good Luck, sweetie.

YES, get them started now!  Children learn so many skills we as adults do not realize that those skills are so much harder to learn the older we get.  Take it from me, your girls are a great age to begin martial arts lessons.  Especially for women martial arts is such a wonderful talent to have.  Tae Kwon Do emphasizes kicking and punching (females have wonderful lower body strength and so they could easily excel at this art), Karate emphasizes some more complex techniques (take-downs, arm bars, limb breaks, rolls, etc..) but I think it is excellent to learn as well.  Jui-jitsu is similar to grappling, like wrestling only the key is joint locking.  Aikido is all about flips, rolls, falls, etc,.. it emphasizes evasion technique.  Your girls are the perfect age to begin because they have a workable attention span and by learning the techniques now, they will have time (years necessary) to learn how to effectively apply them and it is in those future years that they would be most likely to need those skills.  Go for it, I'm sure they will love it!!! I hope they stick with it.

you're still wet behind the ears(young) in terms of age in the rodeo world.  GO FOR IT!!  and Good Luck.

I would reccomend it if your mature for your age. Older men are interesting and don't usually play the games that guys in their 20's do. I'm 33 and I won't date anyone under 40.

Not trying to be sarcastic but, trying to impress a guy who's really hot with a gun doesn't sound like a 29 yo but more like a teenager. Would think at 29 you would have developed an adult viewpoint. I would think that it would be a bad idea if this "hot" guy has that much influence what will he want you to do with this gun to impress him even more. It's easy to start down a path like that but dealing with the consequences can sometimes be difficult to cope with.

First off, If you 've never had any amateur fights, don't think about it.  Get some amateur fights under your belt first.  It sounds like to me you'd be better off finding a gym, asking for a trainer to take you under his wing, work out for at least 6 months on just the fudlements (hand-eye coordination, throwing punces the right way), then spar, then get a couple of amateur fights, Once you have 3 fights you can fight open which means you can be in these types of tournaments.\nAlso there are other national and state tournament such as Blue and Gold

Yes you should - not black belt but trained in Musahi style double sword samurai technique.....silent and deadly.....oh sorry, it was just going to be a smack wasn't it, I got carried away.\n\nWellllll, I have to put my cop hat back on for that and dig out the handcuffs and ........\n\n......yes, bottom line is it is wise to be scared.\n\n\n\nGuy above me....what's a pimp slap??

It is a respect for your fighting skills, but might not be the respect of equality. Respect of that nature comes only when they realize that they are not better than you in ALL aspects. Your fighting skills places you in a "to be feared" listing... not a "man to respect" listing. That comes in time, as you continue to do the right thing AS a man. Keeping your word, keeping lies out of your life, and treating others as you would want to be treated. \n   Always remember... respect starts within... and leaks out to infect others. You earn respect AS a man, by BEING a man... Good luck!!

Absolutely! That's YOUR home that that foreign army is trying to destroy. Running and hiding instead of picking up a rifle and fighting may not save you. If you fight, at least you would have a chance to preserve your way of life, as well as the lives of those who can't fight.

Don't worry about being "filled out".  Just go to a wrestling practice and watch.  Don't worry about how young you are as long as your parents are cool with it.  If you watch it and you still think you want to do it, talk to the coach.  You aren't going to be very good for a while which is only to be expected.  Don't worry about that, you are a beginner.  The sooner you start, the sooner you can get better.  Or at least figure out that is what you want to do.  Something else you might like to improve your wrestling game is to join a Judo class.  Different rules, but it is just as much fun.

you can train and plan all you want but a plan only last till the first moment of execution then it starts slowly falling apart. but any training that you do gives you an advantage. building muscle memory is the most important thing you can do. what is muscle memory, i used to play hacky sack like five hours a day with my friends, then at work if i dropped a knife i would try and hack it. so the simple act of seeing the knife start to fall initiated the action of bringing my foot up to meet it. but it also shows the bad thing about muscle memory itll happen before you can really think about it. get a partner start a martial art/boxing/self defense course, and practise with your partner as much as possible.

You need to learn sword under an experienced person.\nYou really should learn the basis of an empty hand art and then learn the weapons that go with that art, this is the most effective way to learn to use a weapon.

I think the army is pushing for combat engineers right now.  My son (17) is joining and had never even heard of combat engineers, and the recruiter convinced him that is what he really wanted to be.  Make sure this is the job you want to do because you like it, not because it offers a high enlistment bonus.  As for training, I don't really know- some explosive type training, some building type training too.
