votes: 2
so i really want to learn some form of martial arts... but the problem is if i were to take a class on that it would probably be with a bunch of little kids right? or do they have adult karate classes now? i don't really think so, especialy not in a smaller city. maybe in la or chicago or nyc but probably not a place like flagstaff..
so should I try to do that? it's really somethign that'd i'd like to learn. i want to get really really good at it though, like enough to be a fighting double for movies or a fight scene choreographer or something like that, right???
also preemptive "i know kung-fu"
Look up Aikido

Most dojos focus on adult martial arts classes if they are worth while. I started doing judo/jujitsu about two months ago. I have walked away with more injures from these sports than any other....
...
At times I regret my decision for joining. :(
Flagstaff really isn't that small lol. And it's a college town, I'm sure there are classes somewhere for young adults/adults. I mean my area was much smaller than Flagstaff but most Karate studios had timeslots split for adults and children

Don't take karate. Karate is for gay babies.
ju jitsu seems p cool, i know some people who do it
Also "kung fu" specifically refers to Chinese martial arts. FYI

well yeah i suppose you're right, but i just feel like arizona in general is pretty lazy in general and wouldn't really have something like that
but i'm sure i'm wrong, i'll look into it.

that's actually the closest martial arts-related place around here, it's in a pretty good location. wonder how much it costs...
