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.

Daughter and friend are having Taekwondo vs Karate row?

My daughter takes karate and her friend takes taekwondo. Everything was fine before they could do demonstrations together, but now her friends has gotten her blackbelt in taekwondo and is teasing my daughter way to much about how she has a blackbelt and she doesn’t my daughter is starting to get pissed. I found them the other day both on the floor holding each other in a headlock. How can I stop this war. This happened because my daughter said taekwondo is easy and how if she did it she would have got her blackbelt in farless time it took her friend. Want peace in my house!

How do you tone those inner thighs?

I want to lose 20 pounds and tone my body. I’ve started weight watchers and I know I will do it because I’ve done it before, but it’s the toning that gets difficult. I have an ab rocker for my crunches and an exercise bike for my legs and cardio, but what about those inner thighs? They are so hard to tone, I also have a book on pilates, I don’t know if that will help or not. Anyone have any ideas on the best and the quickest way to help tone the inner thighs?

Yes, enroll him or no way?

My son wants to begin taking karate/aikido classes but he always gets bored of the activities he asks to get signed up for. He can never seem to stick with whatever we enroll him in for more than 2 weeks. Anyways he tells me that this time is different and that he will stick with it, but the place that I am going to enroll him in is expensive and there is no refund policy. Should I tell him no way?
I like hearing different people’s suggestions so feel free to comment. Thanks.
