I've been CPR first aid certified since 1992 and I recommend it.

what styles of martial arts are you considering?

my main goal would be to find some kind of martial art that mimics real life. i want to learn self defense in a street fighting situation.

ive hear krav maga is good for that, but there are also classes that teach just that.

I REALLY recommend Tai Chi

you have to find someone to teach you the martial applications of Tai Chi

i didnt know there were any. but i'll look into it.

The origin of Tai Chi was that a monk had a dream about moves that could protect him from being robbed on the road.

He practiced the moves and gave them names based on the vocab that he had.

He practiced them daily and found that a BY-PRODUCT of the practicing was a calm, meditative state


Most Americans only learn the spoon-fed part of calm-meditative

you should be able to google and get a better answer than mine

First Responder course?

If so it's worth the money.
I've been through that and EMT-B.
Very, very worth the money.
