New to Self-defense

[Phantom]

Well, I thought about taking up Karate, but at the age in the early twenties, I think it should have been something I should have began at no later than 15 yrs old.

What's is everyone thoughts about this? Who's taken a self-defense course at a later age?

Why do I even want to learn it? Well, it was since I was in third grade and the whole fighting game thing really got famous. Man, Ryu was so cool, Hadoken! Never got into doing it due to the cost, no body's fault, just the way things were.

Well, if you plan on getting to the stage that you can throw fireballs...you've started too late.

 

[Phantom]

Oh, what about the Dragon punch?

 

[Troyota]

I'd like to master E. Honda's "Hundred Hand Slap."

 

[Phantom]

I didn't know you like FF?

Well, if you plan on getting to the stage that you can throw fireballs...you've started too late.

it's pronounced, haduken
Anyway it's never too late to start marial arts. Especially if you enjoy kicking peoples asses

 

[Phantom]

Alright, fireball!!

I was a huge Street Fighter II fan...and got into Mortal Kombat. After that, fighting games became too complicated for me. As far as real life self-defense is concerned...I'd be all about it. Even at mid-late twenties, I'd jump into a class. Just for fun and health.

Not shameless...fight to win.

Yeah, I know I won't be the next action hero, but I would be able to do what I always want.

I was a fan of Rayden and Sub-zero too. Those were the times.

Can I battle you Pokemon trading card?

 

[Troyota]

Never got into Pokemon. I played Magic: The Gathering for about a month. I used to play BattleTech.

I have a black belt in americanized karate, and all I really got out of it was power delivery. I use the power delivery of karate, holds of JJ, devastating kicks knees and elbows of muythai, and the balance + evasiveness of drunken boxing in fights.

FTW.

It's never too late to start. Just train a little before hand to get in shape...lots of cardio and tons of stretching. Butterfly stretches help a lot.

Not saying you have to be skinny or anything. I mean I am a BIG guy...but I can still kick people in the head no problem.

 

[SupraMario]

Parkor is all I have to say, thats if your doing this thing to get in shape, cause it will.
that or walk around with a desert eagle, just flash that mofo Im pretty sure your average thug is gonna run like a little bitch that just got a wedgy.

 

[Phantom]

Yeah, I figured I have to get back into shape before I start again. I guess jogging will help a lot.

It's never too late to start training in martial arts. My dad began training in kung fu (ok dont make fun) in his early twenties and became QUITE amazingly skilled at it...
