Educate me...

Well I have nothing else to add except to repeat what has already been said, namely...there are many different styles out there to chose from so go and take a look at several of them and find one that appeals to you, whether it's purely for a self defence thing or wether you just want to look all buff and hot looking with a "manly muscular appearence"

 

or lots of hair and an ugly face.

 

DE, Arnis/Escrima/Kali are Filipino martial arts, mainly concentrating on weapon use, particularly short wooden swords. If you're really good at it, you can beat someone with a metal sword (as proven by history).

I would do Krav Maga, but it's on the other side of Brisbane. No way am I driving across Brisbane during peak hour to learn that when I can drive for 5-10 minutes and learn Muay Thai instead .

 

Train well in Muay Thai and maybe you'll be as badass as Tong Po and be able to say: "Now I break you, like I break your friend".

 

Tong Po was really badass. I noticed in the movie though, that Van Damme and Po both did all their hardcore pillar shaking, tree breaking kicking exercises with their right legs only. Bizarre, says I.

 

These 'ren't really styles of any sort, but here's a few suggestions of my own, I'm not saying that these would be good for a fight or something, but hey, there're just making you think, and more suggestions... boxing, or kick boxing, as well as throwing knives... that's not really a style... but throwing knives are easy to conceal, and, if you get the balanced blades, pretty damn easy to throw. You can usually pick some up for fairly in-expensive, and use'em until either they dull*, or you lose them.

*good luck, the ones I've got 'ren't the best quality, and they are still hard to dull.

*sits in a courner and waits to be flamed*

 

Shut the fuck up and get the hell out of that corner.

 

what the hell is with the 'ren'ts in your post, Matt? you're a fucktard.

 

It's like that whole "y can be used instead of i! I'm so clever and unique!" thing.

In other words, stop it.
