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 got my Kendo first dan during winter, and work toward the second (and the Iaido first dan).

Obviously not for self defence because I don't carry a katana, but hitting people with swords while yelling is fun. I feel like the whole mold the body and the mind through the sword in order to build better human feels a bit like bullshit. That said, it's a great patience school both with the slow learning and the don't do anything stupid, and wait to be 100% sure before attacking
