is this to the anti-drug that gets you "above the influence"?

i took karate for two weeks when i was very young. my dad yanked me out because i kept using the little bit i had learned on the other kids at daycare.

no not at all...ive been interested in doing this for a while...and I did the same thing u did back in the day...but back then I couldnt afford paying the class to get past the advanced white belt stage :D

It all depends what you want to get out of it. Is this just kind of a hobby, after work blow off some steam, thing; a desire to learn to protect yourself and your family in realistic street-fighting scenarios; or do you want a martial art you can compete in?

I would suggest looking for a Mixed Martial Arts gym.

I should start by restating that I am biased because I have been taking it for 1.5 years; but I highly recommend Krav Maga. It's not as sexy as some of the other martial arts (and be prepared to explain over and over what "Krav Maga" is, because no one has heard of it). You won't find a lot of videos on YouTube featuring it, and it doesn't feature high flying tonado kicks. But if you want an idea, watch the Bourne movies and Taken. Krav is probably the prefered hand-to-hand combat style for special forces right now, and is very practical in many relistic situations. The down-side is there is no competition for Krav Maga, because there is no below the belt rule in Krav, and Krav strikes are designed to shatter, paralyze and disable.

If you want something you can compete in, try Muay Thai (high impact, very exhausting, lots of sparring, and afterward, you will have no sensation in your shins or quads) and Jui Jitsu (relatively low impact, ground-fighting, competition oriented but totally useless on the street). All three will be found at your local MMA gym.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
