Guys 15-18:Do you like girls who do martial arts?

I was jw because I am a 15 year old girl who is a 2nd degree blackbelt in taekwondo and I was wondering if guys liked girls that did that!! I mean I am still really girly I just do martial arts because I like it alot and it is so much fun!!: )

help in picking out a good form of martial arts for my 11 y/o son.?

The following schools are available to us in our area.

Shiva Goju-Ryu Karate
Shotokan karate
American fighting arts
Taekwondo (traditional and american)

He is very interested in taking classes, I am interested in the physical fitness, discilpine, self image, self defence.

Can anyone tell me the basic differences in the styles and maybe some advice as to which i might choose?
I forgot Aikido…although i have talked to them and it is mainly an adult school.
thank you for the answers these are the schools I have to choose from, we cannot travel to another school. Can anyone describe these forms, give me some info before i visit them, thank you.
I’m not sure about the american fighting arts but they have Karate type trophies in the display window…so i don’t think they are wrestling…
edit: after talking to the American fighting arts, it is a tkd and mixed martial arts school.

Thank you Sibling, you are the only one who broke things down, like i asked, but you dont seem to think any are worth it. I personally visited the Aikido school and i can tell you it looks like they are the most physically challenging of the group, there warm up was 20 minutes long and included falls and tumbling that i don’t know if i could do for 20 minutes. And i guess another point is that I believe a good martial arts training can help a child with self esteem and discipline, note that my son does not need this as he is a good kid. I think anything that requires hard work and attaining goals helps with self esteem and discipline.

Which of these two martial arts is close to ninjistu?

which is closer to ninjistu Taekwondo or Shotokan Karate?

knowledge in martial arts can help solve the bullying and crime problem – what do u think?

i feel very concerned about the bullying cases in schools especially in Britain. Do u think that teaching these children martial arts (like karate, silat, judo and taekwondo) will help? so if a bully wants to bully any child, the child can defend himself or herself through this skill?
since the bullying cases in schools is on the rise – don’t u think it should be held compulsory?? the kids just need to learn the BASIC art of defending himself or herself…
I personally feel that this issue IS MORE IMPORTANT as the children are the FUTURE GENERATION and there is a need to NURTURE THE FUTURE GENERATION – compared to the so-much debate of the proposed Shariah law.
With the debate, I wonder what the children are thinking: as they observe how adults “squabble” over the Shariah law.
Shariah law is meant for Muslims – so if the Muslims in UK wants it – that’s their choice and that’s DEMOCRACY
