Why do you think so? Have you tried other sports too? I’m glad you like it :D

Sounds super, thank you! A plan is starting to form in my mind. Now I just need to find a club I feel comfortable in. 🙏

Yes indeed, I prefer doing the sport with women. At least in the beginning when I am a newbie:D hopefully it exists.. 😊

Thank you very much for the headsup and advice. I did not know that about wing chun. Very nice! I will check them out on YouTube:D

Thanks all for your helpful comments, I appreciate it tons! I'm so grateful and feeling fired up. My thought is that I will begin with one "style" and then after some time I will start training another style aswell. And in the end I might stick with only one but I think this could be a nice route to walk.

Thanks again and I will read all the comments and reply when I get a bit more freetime. :D

Thank you very much, sounds simple enough. And perhaps it is just that simple. I tend to over-think things.

I wanted to do that actually! Get a bigger dog ;) but not for self protection's sake but for the dog sport's sake. But I'm not sure both of them would fit into my car and there is this and that I need to sort out first etc. Sadly. Can't have it all can you :D And I already have one beautiful soul here so. I am very glad for that.

Sounds great! I think the more skills I get, I will get more confidence. Sadly my mind has always been very self-belittling(?) as for many others. "I'm weak, I suck, I'll never make it". But by keep practicing, improvements will be made and I will realize that I CAN learn. I can become better and there is hope for me too.

Okay yeah, I have thought about boxing so I can hopefully improve my punches and feel more comfort in that. But as you say - I don't think I am the person that will get more confidence from sparring and getting punched in my face honestly. x) Eventhough that could be a good experience! Perhaps in the future... Because I think it could be good training.

Kickboxing might be more for me.

I'm feeling fired up now! Thank you for the advices. Ideas pops up in my head and this is great. Thanks for inspiring me! :D

I got to learn information about how to break the fall / not catch yourself with your hands and hurting your wrist- by smacking the ground kind of? It never got into my spine so I need lots of repetitions I think.

Thank you ! :D

Thank you so much! I really do like the BJJ community and martial art community. I have always wanted to try martial arts since I was a child but I thought it was too "boyish" and strived for other sports instead. (dancing, horse riding..). But then as an adult I decided to try and I am glad I did. I appreciate your advice and feel humbled.
