[ramus]

Im looking for self defense

[platinum_angel]

no offense but how many times are you going to post the same thread.......

[Szczepankiewicz]

As many times as it takes to get an answer I suppose.

Alright, who picked Judo???

[MrPoopy]

If you're looking to learn strictly self defense, I would pick aikido over Judo. I'm not sure what pai lum tao is.

[Szczepankiewicz]

I would pick neither. But that's just me.

I'd go with Tai Chi instead of these three.

[MrPoopy]

Ever done any aikido, Spanky?

[platinum_angel]

i picked judo you got a problem?

[ramus]

pai lum tao is like kempo, with other useful systems in corporated in it, like JKD.http://www.pailum.com

[Szczepankiewicz]

Naw, but one of my peers in training has. Aikido has awesome footwork and flow, but to me, inefficient grappling methods, and no strikes.

Aikido for aikido is great, but not aikido for self defense, unless it's mixed with another art. But then, it wouldn't be Aikido anymore, would it?

[Szczepankiewicz]

I have many problems, which would you like to discuss first?

Oh, yeah, Judo for self-defense.

What, you gonna grab my gi on 'da street' and do a little throwin'?

[platinum_angel]

actually i take that back. PLT is unique and you can study judo in many places i would go with PLT
sounds like a BLT thinking about it makes me hungry.

what a stupid thing to say...... you don't think i could grab your shirt. where i come from we wear shirt or sweaters.

[Szczepankiewicz]

Only a small difference between a cotton t shirt and a double weave judo gi.

While you're trying to throw me, i'll be beatin the snot out of you with Karotty Chops and such!
