Thanks for the replies! I'm hoping to find a school with a good price but for now, I'll try to see what I can do with Karate training since the basics deal with raw force and power.
As for techniques, I try to think about the priority it has in battle before I actually practice it. Some techniques wouldn't work at all if the right body parts aren't used.
I wouldn't practice a style like Tai Chi on my own because chances are that I could kill myself and the knowledge of chi is supposed to be passed on through the direct intruction of someone who practices the style (I NEED an instructor for that style in particular).
To those who actually go to a registered MA school, I'm not one of those people who would buy a black belt just to say that I can wear one. I'm aware for the amount of work/effort that people put in just to have the honor of tying that belt around their waists! Gis and black belts have meaning and I hold anyone who has one in high respect (unless the person isn't aware of what a black belt means themselves!).
And I'll check out the site when I have the chance!
