Should I take a martial arts class or call the police?
Hi all,
To start, I’m a 25 year old openly gay black man.
) Lately i’ve been a victim of harassment from a group of guys that wait for me outside when I walk home from work.
They call me names like queer, fag, pillow biter…etc. They make fun of the clothes I wear, (I like to wear half shirts with a bra under it, skinny jeans, capris with a thong showing in the back) Well lately they’ve been getting somewhat violent with me, especially the other day when I wore high heels, they pushed me to the ground and threw dirt in my face and spit on me. They threatned me and said they’d beat me to a pulp if they saw me in that neighborhood again, I ran home crying.
should I take a martial arts class to defend myself? or should I just report them to the police?

Do you think is possible for me to ever have a girlfriend ?
I am 25 years old but i don’t think it’s possible for me to ever have a girlfriend because of my flaws" For Example i am kinda shy i swear too much, i get so frustrated and angry very easily, i am a poor person that depends on the government to survive, i am immature for my age, i am too picky, i don’t consider myself attractive, i still live with my mother and she cooks my meals and hand wishes my clothes but i told my mother i want to do them myself but my mother says she doesn’t mind doing those things for me and i don’t like arguing with her because i can’t win in an argument against women and arguing stinks and i feel guilty for letting my mother do those things for me at my age. I am mainly a very good and very kind person that feels like a loser with those bad flaws. I like to do good deeds for good people but not for the bad people because that’s who i am. I am very kind, sweet, and a sensitive person. I am extremely trustworthy and a very Honest person. I have a very good heart and i have a good sense of humor. I am funny when i don’t try to be. I like to open doors for girls and i gerenally respect women. I like Video Games, Martial Arts, Cosplay, Anime, bike riding, and play yu gi oh the trading card game. It’s extremely hard to find a girls that has all of my interests that i just listed.

I'd like to ask MA people what I did right/wrong. Social situation that degenerated into martial art use.?
Hello, all.
Of course, all may respond, but I would like to particularly sollicit the advice of experienced martial artists.
I and a long-time friend were drinking and a guy we both knew came along. I don’t like him. I think he got my friend to drink too much the first time and I told him so in private.
There was a lot of all sorts of talk, as well as further intoxication and marijuana. (I have an inkling that’s part of the mistake, but do elaborate).
At a certain point, he and I were alone and he started spitting at me and we exchanged words. I told him to stop spitting beer out at me and he kept doing it. I also mentioned I paid for the beer and I had no intention of leaving.
He spat out beer at my clothes one time too many and I poured a beer all over him. He wasn’t sure, he spat one more time, and I emptied a second bottle over him.
(I know I made many mistakes)
Later, when the other guy returned and things were more or less to normal, he physically attacked me as I sat on the couch. I managed to get up and we started tussling. I used the kiai to gather strength and take control of him, because that’s the only thing I could think of and I was very tense, especially since I had just stopped his free hand from grabbing my testicles.
I did manage to control him. I threw his balance around for a bit, then did a stressed yonkyo on both hands and I managed to sit him down. I then looked at him right in the eyes and said; Can I let you go? Are you going to relax?"
He lit up and said he would. I let him go and 20 seconds later, he was passed out. He did manage to make it all the way to his bed.
I have decided I would no longer talk to this person unless he’s cold sober and I will inform him of that. I had some time to think about it and have just come to this conclusion.
Anyway,. sorry for carrying on, I would like advice. Please, don’t hesitate to tell me what I did wrong. I just want constructive criticism for the furure.
Thank you.
Every situation is real.
Peace out.
I’m a blue belt in aikido, if you wonder where I’m at.
Also, all in all, I’m glad nobody got hurt for real in the incident.
Shienaran: I used the only techniques that came to mind. I was amazed how efficient the kiai could be in relaxing you, but really, I was never certain of being in control until I was.
I thank my sensei, for whatever methodology he uses, it works for me.
Actually, I don’t want to pass for a saint, but there were a couple of things that flashed to my mind, and I didn’t want to break any furniture either.

Does anyone have a pair of "jika-tabi"? Are they comfortable, where do I get them, and any problems with them?
I’m looking at buying a pair of jika-tabi, and I would like some information about them. Jika-tabi are the shoes that are split-toed like this: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/sbm180_photos/boots/ninjashoes.jpg
I have some questions about them:
1) Where can I get them? I’m not looking forward to getting them off the internet, but someone suggested local Martial Arts stores. Would a local Martial Arts Store have them?
2) Does anyone have a pair of them? What are they like? Do they feel weird? Are they comfortable? I read somewhere that they keep you more alert because they help with blood circulation.
3) Can I wear them to school, like this: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/sbm180_photos/boots/t13.jpg. If I start wearing them to school, would that be cool? Can I excercise in them, like trail running or something? I want to get use out of them.
4) If I get them, what clothes would go with them? I don’t want to stick out in a negative way.
Thanks.

How to dress tough, yet feminine?
So, I do martial arts and I feel tough. When I walk out of the studio I’d still like to look like I can fight and if I get attacked on the street my clothes won’t be more of an issue of movement. I still want to look feminine though. Any style suggestions? I want to look like I can kick *** but still sexy!
P.S. Please don’t say Tap out because half of those people are posers and can’t even defend themselves.

Is is appropriate for a gal to not wear typical renaissance garb for Ren Faire? Dresses not my thing. Advice?
I have (knee) boots, pants, shirt, doublet, belt, capelet, even a period rapier and hat. Dresses and bodices are not my preference, and since I do martial arts I feel more comfortable in clothes that allow for easier movement, footwork etc. Would it be innappropriate fro a woman to dress as a "swordswoman"??

I don’t like to wear all of that Tapout/ UFC stuff because it’s WAY too cliche. Half of those people can’t even actually defend themselves.
