Do you practice martial arts? (lemmy.world)

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!

Not really these days but I used to do Muay Thai until I ran out of money for training. Did a couple types of Karate and some TKD as a kid as well. My skills are relatively basic though, I was always kind of a middling student. I could probably still hold my own in a fight against your average person but anyone who really knows what they're doing would probably smoke me in short order.
