Krav Maga is more of a kill or be killed type of Martial Arts. Designed to, at the very least, "incapacitate" someone. So, unless you want to go to the most extreme style there is, I suggest something a little less dangerous, like Muay Thai or Ninjutsu.

:lol: Well if you want testosterone-pumping-adrenaline-raging men under the age of 40 to join the ranks of Muy Thai (I didn't know Ninjutsu was still around) then I wouldn't tell them this!!! Balls to the wall motherf*ckers!!!

Ahh, skycity.. I was there for about four years when I was in adelaide... but didn't really know any of the dealers... too many of them and the turn over was so massive that there wasn't any point...

Just finished up working at a medical clinic as a phlebologist and as of next monday I will be attending University for the first time - just doing an Arts degree studying politics, Spanish and anthropology... It sounds more interesting then working.

I find the Boo To Te Hed move from the school of Ti Kwan Leep is most effective, if necessary one can then switch to Fuk Yu for maximized effect.

My occupation involves financial data, stocks, options, futures, and so forth, from all over the world. I’m sure you are familiar with stocks and the two basic ways you can get stock information. You can get it “real time” (like the old fashioned ticker tape or those numbers that roll around at the bottom of financial networks) or you can get it “end of day” (like those numbers you see in the newspaper). I work with the latter, only my product collects these numbers from all over the world so is effectively a 24/7 system.

I’m technically in development, but I am currently on the support side of development. So when a file is late, or missing, or something isn’t just right and the various other lines of support does not have a simple answer, they send it down to me.

The product is: Reuters DataScope Equities

I'm a year out of college and I draw pictures professionally. Animation when the opportunity arises, which is rare in Cincinnati, but sometimes it pops up... Also I landscape.

I've had many vocations, but my favorite one was "street musician". Not the most lucrative one, granted, but certainly the most entertaining.

Haha, don't fret, Chem Eng is an awesome degree; and I still use a lot of the things I learned. I just didn't want to be a front line engineer designing and building chemical kit :D
