Ballet for a karate guy?

I’m fairly adept in ways regarding certain martial art type kinds of movement. Since nothing in the way of legitimate martial arts schools is available where I am presently living, I have considered the possibility of enrolling in ballet classes for the purpose of improving my karate guy skills. I’m a little concerned about being the only male in a class of younger females who will probably think I’m gay.

Can I replace Ballet classes with Yoga, Pilates and Chi-Kung and have the same results?

Without pointe and followed by Ballet cd’s.

Thank you.

How can i improve my feet/ ankle stregnth?

in the past year i have broken my foot and ankle twice just walking and i have fractured my spine. my ankle injurie is starting to come back even though i am streching and doing my excercises. I really am having issues going en pointe becasue of this…i come do close but then i get injured. The thing is though i take pilates with a dance medicne person and three ballet classes a week for 2 hours and i also compete in tap, jazz, lyrical, and hip-hop. i really need to know what the problem is. Just incase your wondering i’m on a high level of dance so i don’t suck and i’m pretty hard core
