Title: kung fu lessons
Post by: Hiro on January 30, 2012, 09:23:04 PM
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???

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.
