What sort of martial arts do you practice in and why? Judo? Karate?

Educating yourself in self defence seems very useful especially if you live in parts of a country that might be rough.

I'd like to get into it myself but I can't hear well, I can lip read however. Did some boxing when I was very young but it was only practice on training bags : )

Kung Fu students and masters alike, let me know your wisdom!

I did Tae kwon-do as a kid, but quit due to other hobbies and a tight schedule.

My oldest kid joined Karate around 2016, and I had to admit it looked like fun. I eventually ended up joining the adult group, and stayed there until we all moved in 2020. After the move there wasn't a club nearby that did the same style (wado ryo), so we both called it quits at green belt.
