Okay, this is deliberately placed in this section even though it doesn't fit entirely.

So I've decided to take up a martial art. #1 on my list is capoeira, #2 is krav maga, #3 is kung fu. However, it struck me that since many martial arts involve psionics, some of the people on this forum might practice a martial art and have some suggestions. So my question for those of you who take martial arts; what martial art would you recommend and why?

MOVE YOUR HIPS. MOVE THAT TRUNK.

The quicker you pivot the hips, the quicker you kick and recover.

LIFT THOSE KNEES! Don't limit your kick height!!

PROTIP: In the pivot of a fist from tucked to extended, wait until the final fourth of the punch's trajectory before twisting the fist to palm-over position. The speed of the pivot adds kinetic energy to the impact, therefore increasing force. Maximum effect from the twist at the last moment, because all the force is concentrated in a smaller increment in time, therefore increasing power following the principle Power=work/time (P=▲W/▲T).
