What is th best martial art to protect yourself from vicious pitbull thugs?

[Tom Yum]

Some people into some things which they might be embrassed to mention, like ballet or knitting. If I was into knitting I would just come out and say to my mates "hey I did some f**kin knitting this weekend, i'm trying to make myself a sesame street jumper"

I can't sew at all.

However, I appreciate a woman or person who can.

See, this is what I've been trying to say to you. You base what you do and think on emotion way to often.

On a side note: You know, if you want to be a cop you're going to have to learn how to discern B.S. And have the back-bone to not let the B.Ser. get off the hook because he or she had an emotionaly sad story to tell.

I suggest military training before you apply to become an officer.

Just trying to help

That is actually a good idea, and I have been thinking about going to the Royal military college in Kingston, ontario first to get some prior training and experience before the police force.

So all this what i'm saying is related to what we have been talking about, it means I do what I want regardless of who thinks what as long as i'm not hurting anyone. So if I wanna learn jujitsu and taekwondo then I will. I say that cos a few people have told me in this topic in not so many words, that no amount of jujitsu is gonna help me in a real life fight. I'm better off running away. That's silly that is cos in boston if you run away then you get trouble form those people and more people everyday more and more cos they know you're gonna run away.

Have fun learning TKD and Jiu-Jitsu. You might want to have your kids train w/ you. It could be a good family activity.

What are the requirements to be able to enrole into the RMC in Kingston?

[Jiu-fu fighter]

Have to be at least 16 years of age, pass the medical, pass the pre-enrolment tests, pass the basic officers training course.

also two ways to do it, either pay for it myself, or enlist in the army and they will pay for my education and I also have a better chance of getting in

I also strongly believe that the discipline would be good for me

My kids aren't into it really. They've already told me they're worried about me getting hurt but I told them i'll be fine cos the people i'll be sparrign with after i've learnt some techniques aren't angry at me, they're just practising like me too. My mate wants to learn too but he gets worn out after running 100 metres and eats nothing but junk food, does amphetamins, ecstacy, cocaine and cannabis plus he never does any excercise and weighs 15 stone. He's only 5ft7 and is already 33. I told him to have a go but he's just a total loser. All he does is go round others mates houyses, do drugs and play on the sony playstation so I really dont think he's gonna be able to handle it at all.

The winner of the New York City Marathon is about 30 years old.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar%C3%ADlson_Gomes_dos_Santos

The NYC marathon is 26.2 miles (41.9 km) in distance. The winner's finishing time was 2:09:58. His average mile time is about 4:50 per mile.

Lance Armstrong (the cyclist) who is 36, finished in 2:59:36. His average mile time is about 6:50.

The oldest competitor, Sy Mah, at age 57 ran something like 3:15:00, averaging 7:45 per mile.

There are 18-year olds who cannot complete a 1-mile under 10 minutes, much less finish the entire 1-mile run...

Age slows you down a little, but it doesn't mean the end of anything.

So you hang out with people who do alot of different kinds of drugs but you don't do drugs anymore? You just like to hang out with the ones that do?

Either way, enjoy your TKD and Jiu-Jitsu training.

Why haven't you done anything yet if yo believe it will give you the discipline you say you need, and also give you the better resume when seeking your career goal of becoming a police officer?

I am busy doing a youth program right now called "katimavik", pretty much I travel to three provinces of canada and do volunteer work, I am in my second province which is ingersoll, ontario. my last rotation will be in quebec, each province I am in for three months.
as soon as I get back home to vancouver next summer I will be going to military college.
just being in a youth program with other youth and doing volunteer work and travelling and learning how to cook and live with large groups of people has already helped a little with my discipline.
currently I am working with people with mental disabilitiees and helping them develop more and find ways to become more one with the community.
I love katimavik and also look forward to going to college after

[Jiu-fu fighter]

sorry I went totally off topic there...

Totally agree, but in a reality situation you dont want to aim for a target head height, moving, small, easy to get swept, leg caught, blocked etc,etc,etc
There is more to martial arts than kicking
