If that's what you want to do, then go for it.

I learned kickboxing last year and it was a damn blast. Not only did I lose weight and get in shape, I know the basics on kickboxing, which is a full striking sport. I learned how to give someone a nice concussion, and also learned how to completly blind someone with watery eyes with a hard blow to the nose. Resulting in blinding them, breaking their nose, and swelling both eyes.

I learned to use the palm on your hands to to hit someone, not a fist. A fist you risk breaking knuckles and fingers, but with the palm, not only do you not risk breaking anything (on you) but the pressure of pounds per. square inch is greatly increased, which means using your palms is much more punishing than a fist alone.

But yeah, just have fun with it.
Nochowderforyou Reviewed by Nochowderforyou on . I'm going to learn Karate :) Don't laugh. lol Seriously, I really want to learn a martial art. I'm not a violent person, but I want to be able to defend myself to a certain degree, and I'm also very interesting in learning to discipline myself and keep myself in shape. I don't seem to be very good at doing it of my own volition, so I'm hoping that learning Karate will help. I've done some online research and spoken to a friend of mine (who is a something-or-other-belt at Karate and Jujitsu) and he says it's a great Rating: 5
