One is not necessarily better than any other for fighting. It depends on the practitioner and you don't have to stick to a single system. Take what works for you and go with it. I would go to a judo gym but I'd also like to try aikido. Those are two of the most recommended for law enforcement officers because their goals are purely apprehension. I personally like boxing and muay thai and thats all that I currently train for. I also like stick/blade fighting such a kali or silat which is also used empty handed, but i haven't done that in years. I will continue my training in grappling arts and stick/blade fighting pretty soon. If you are looking for an exercise program that you can sustain motivation in, you may want to look for something other than MMA. It can be difficult to stay motivated if you aren't looking for a bout. Also, some mma gyms are purely for the sport of mma and some also instruct in combat mma. There is a great difference despite how it looks. Actually, boxing and muay thai may be difficult to be motivated for if you don't compete. If you are wanting defense, be sure to train for real life fighting techniques. If you train your muscle memory for sport, you won't be as effective as if you had trained for real fighting. btw, some mma gyms teach sloppy techniques or demand that you do it the way the instructor wants it done so be ware of that as well. I think this occurs because lot of mma guys just pick up techniques here and there and never try to perfect it enough. then again, a judo, boxing, jujitsu, whatever can be like that as well. okay this is my third edit. If you want to learn how to fight on the streets, find people who actually train with special forces or police. Often times you will need permission and a referral. Some of the guys that instruct and train with them don't even have their own gyms. My instructor trains Navy seals with some other instructor level peers of his but I'm not included in those exercises. Sometimes the instructor will have another training group for police officers and trusted individuals. I'm about to be a "trusted individual" soon but not until i set my heart on it. The guys that train for law enforcement or special forces are likely to be a bit rough with you and single you out until they begin to trust you.

Kettleballs scare me.

ive never had a problem. quick and easy it is

I'm just going to short the crap out of oil after the next hurricane. I'm also going to short the dec contract.

reminds me of myself. when I was 19. i had a nice car and ppl always assumed my parents bought it for me.

I just bear it like everybody else. If i become stressed over a bad trading day, exercise doesn't seem to work. I'll just feel sluggish through the workout and become frustrated. I think sleep helps most often. After some sleep, I can usually get a good workout. I normally can't sleep at night if I am stressed. However, if I've had a physically demanding day, then I have no problem passing out without washing up. hell..i can sleep on the front porch by that point. Today sucked. I made some pretty bone headed moves that has taken me back a couple of weeks. Its traumatizing because I couldn't capitalize on the opportunities that I recognized. It's like getting knocked down to the ground and stomped on by the guy your girlfriend cheated on you with. Dragged through mud. Then looking up from the muddy pit to see the lamentations of your soon to be ex-girlfriend.

NIck, do you plan on competing? I would assume trading would take away too much of your time and energy to fight. I'm going to be at Ajarn Chai's muay thai seminar soon.

shes just a teenager. I prob would have done the same out of nervousness. Go South Carolina! It would have been awesome if she had won. That would have been a priceless American moment.

Yeah, I can't stand it.

Sometimes I catch the lod or hod without really trying to. The trade just works out that way.

hah..well well well I was 1 tic away from my exit on QM today before price went all the way back up. I made $3.30 today.

I actually have an anarchists book that has a section about how much MacGyver's stuff is crap for done for tv. If your wondering why I have an anarchist book, its because I'm born and raised in Oklahoma, USA. These illegal books are in massive circulation here. It is the capital of white supremacist militias after all.

yeah i thought so...i just thought maybe it was being used in a bit of a different sense

bread and butter? What does that expression mean?

I would think its fine as long as you don't ever do it.

I'd like to live in Colorado for awhile so I wouldn't have to pay so much for our ski trips. Season passes!!! Ending up in the Dallas area for some time is more likely. I hate the heat but I have to stay close for my family.

FXCM doesn't have very good reviews as a broker according to the reviews on elitetrader

I'll be attending the Dallas expo and I'd like to know if there is anything that I should expect or especially look forward to.

Saw it today. so freakin awesome dude That chick was so hot. I have never experienced a movie with such a quiet theatre audience. i think it left a lot open for a sequel. I didn't even realize the movie is 3 hours.

I hear ya, Nick. I'm live in the southern midwest of the USA. Its the same.

YM reasons already stated by posters

Johnny Walker is always good. I mostly drink Chivas Regal and Crown Royal. I like beer also.

hope im not effed

I had another talk with her about it and she seems to understand the situation a bit more. She actually suggested hanging a "do not disturb" sign on the doorknob. i don't know how a doorknob sign should matter but I guess thats the way things work. hehe In the heat of the moment I flipped out today so I quit. These surprise situations don't arise as often as they used to so its not as much of a problem. I'm actually supposed to have the entire upstairs to myself and I don't have any neighborhood noise so I've usually got it pretty good as far as noise is concerned. I've looked into office space to get away from other obligations. I think I will have a commercial office when I go full time. There are many pros in having an office in the house, but I wonder if having more distance between work and home will outweight many of those benefits.
