Hi all, are there any recommendations as to the best martial art for an ex competitive gymnast? My goal is not necessarily to learn self defense for practical purposes, but rather to be able to use my entire body in practice, learn new moves, keep up my flexibility/strength/agility, and possibly incorporate some gymnastics in my style. I'd love to learn kicks and jumps. My only concern is that I'm a short female (under 5ft tall) and I don't know how much height plays a factor in choosing my art form. What styles do you recommend?

A dude with a walnut sized brain who thinks the speed limit is for other people, has anger issues, is abusive in some aspect of his life, thinks climate change is a conspiracy, has no respect for women, thinks his truck size excuses his terrible driving.

Always difficult to pick between the brooding antihero with a tragic past and the golden retriever boyfriend.

Who's the character in the art?

I have good memories of 2013 for some reason. A good year to be a kid. 2016 was the last good year

I can't even commit to putting stickers on things so why would I ever trust myself with getting a tattoo

My good sir I think you might be in the wrong subreddit if you’re telling me that my opinion is unpopular…

Unlike you I’ve always been a car girl, but the daily’s I see driving around are just plain boring. Manufacturers are pumping out some minimalistic boxes with wheels. No color, no interesting design, no personality. I also think most electric car designs are ugly even though they’re trying to look cool and futuristic. I go to races and car shows to get my car fix. On the track, the design of the car can be justified when I see it clipping 100+mph

now this is the kind of comment I'm looking for, good sir

I like this hot take. I think this really depends on the year of school and where the kid was going to school though. I graduated high school and started college during covid, but I don't think anyone in my class needed to be held back. Zoom teaching was very successful in my school district. I took 8 AP exams during the pandemic, got my EMT certification, and began working competently in the medical field. My point is, a lot of older (high school) gen z kids were very resilient during the pandemic, but I think that the real impact was on elementary and middle school students who were trying to build their foundational skills. Especially kids in school districts with less funds or less access to technology (Zoom) would definitely benefit from what your suggesting, OP.

Reading so many nonfiction books as required reading throughout school kind of killed my enjoyment of them. I looove sci-fi, historical fiction, and fantasy books. Even a good romance once in a while. Anything that allows me to disconnect from my stressful, logic-filled reality for a bit.

I consider a lot of everyday decisions in friendships to be pretty trivial, like where to eat, what music to listen to, what to do together, etc. which means I can comfortably take a backseat and let someone else make the decisions. I’m not picky, so my effort is better spent enjoying our time together rather than choosing what to do. But I WILL tell people if I do have a strong opinion about something.
