should one of the following be added in schools?

i think , self defense classes , meditation classes and tai chi classes or something like that calm and soothing

more physical fitness and mental
how to go green
how to eat wild edibles
how to do important stuff

well idk if you guys share my beliefs but i think chi kung or tai chi is great and it overall made me peaceful and a more powerful and better person

i want to do hapkido but i am also doing taekwondo?

hapkido looks great and seems a more realistic martial art to undertake for self defence than taekwondo. i am enjoying taekwondo but i would love to do hapkido as well. however, i dont think i’ll have enough time since i work 4 times a week, i have lots of homework from school and i take taekwondo once a week on saturday. i dont think i could juggle everything to make it fit so what can i do?

is taekwondo good for self defence?

i only have one school near me that teaches some form of self defence and thats taekwondo. the man is a 7th dan blackbelt and i went to my first class a few days ago. i was surprised at how hard he worked beginners. towards the end of the class he taught us two self defence moves if we were being attacked from behind (the attacker grabbing you from the neck behind). he showed us two effective moves to escape the situation including what you would do if you were being dragged backwards at the same time. this is the only kind of class like this near me until the city and it is conveniently located as well a s fun to attend, while still building my confidence and strength. is it good for self defence in a real life situation?
thanks

do you really think self defence for women would work in an actual crisis?

think about it, if u were actually being mugged would you be thinking “oh yeh, i remember this time in self defence where i did this” and then throw the guy to the ground. you would naturally panic and scream your lungs out. only the determined and focused would concentrate on escaping. agree?
i have that quality and i am learning taekwondo

Taekwondo and boxing is a good combination?

Currently I’m taking boxing and wanted to try out taekwondo too. Will it be very effective for self defense when your taking both taekwondo and boxing rather than muay thai or krav maga?
