Some Good Questions...

What are some good questions that will help me find the best martial art for me?

 

Does the class have hot babes?

 

Do you teach Amerido-te? Can you tell me where to find someone who teaches Amerido-te?

 

Paypal me a super discounted one-off fee of £199.95 and I will not only teach you Ameri-Do-Te (by sending you a badly put-together PDF), I will promote you to 17th Degree Silver Snake Grandmaster.

 

That is so much less than Ashida Kim was going to charge me, he wasn't even going to send me a pdf, cheapskate.

 

We keep costs low by getting all our black belt embroidery done in our sweatshop in Manila. We're all about that fair trade stuff.

 

There should be nothing fair about Amerido-Te, you see your opponent, you identify his groin, you attack with extreme prejudice, fairness, much like fair trade, is for the weak.

 

Ameri-Do-Te has perfected the illusion of being fair, to subdue the enemy into a false sense of security.

But I like your style, son.

And because of that, I will give you a super-super discounted limited time offer, to learn the art of re-stomping the groin. Only three easy payments of $99.95.

 

MAP is a cruel, cold-hearted mistress who will destroy your groin the moment you lower your guard.

 

I think you have to raise your guard to expose the groin.

 

Unless you do BJJ, then MAP has always been in your guard without you knowing it. And it's right where she wants to be... so she can destroy your groin.

 

Uh oh...

Now this is something. We went from me asking for some good questions to talkin about the groin.

If only Ameri-Do-Te and Dante were authentic, then I might consider that they should be included in my list of possible style to learn.

 

Nothing beats a kick to the groin.

 

LOL...

I heard some say it tickles but IMHO while it may hurt it does tick me off to get kicked in the groin.

 

is this for you? or some hypothetical first-timer?

 

Honestly...both

 

I think the questions you should be asking are some realistic questions for yourself (do you want to feel like a bad dude, or do you want to learn how to fight?), some logistical questions (how far are you willing to drive on a tri-weekly basis? how much can you pay?) and last what do you actually want to be doing? Not who do you want to be, what do you want to do.

The thing about martial arts is that it's a slow pursuit. Whatever art you choose you'll be doing hours of it. So where are you happiest? Grappling? Try BJJ. Striking? Boxing or Muay Thai. Sick forms? Wu Shu.

 

Did I say we take Paypal?
