yea you learn so much when taking martial arts...you get so much out of it...discipline...its a fun way to work out...and all and all it improves your overall condition...its great...really ask your parents about doing it...your brother can approve as well..

well hopefully it goes well...but if you do end up taking lessons though..be ready...it takes lots of effort and dedication to be good at it...

i took taekwondo when i was young and i played around alot..just me being young and not knowing anything...but when i saw how good the black belts were(mainly at how high they could kick) i put in more effort...i tried to beat them in sparring(though i always lost)...and about a two years later i become one as well(not to brag)...but i gave up on it after i got my black belt...not much more to it...i learned basically all that i needed to...

so effort, dedication, and even confidence is needed to do well in any type of martial arts in general...as long as you commit to it...it should be fine

Thanks for the advice/encouragement lumad. I don't get along too well with my parents so it's always EXTREMELY hard talking to them about a lot of things. Especially when I don't feel confident. :/ But I think I know how I'll tell them now. They usually ask what I want for my birthday before I even suggest anything, so once they do I'll tell them. No need to rush since the soonest I'll be able to take lessons (if I do), is August. If they don't ask, I promise myself I'll ask by the exact day of my birthday. I know it seems so weird how I'm extremely insecure about asking a freaking simple question and all. Well, there's a BIG reason behind that. But that's personal. So we'll leave it at that. ^-^

wow i dig girls thats into martial arts, coz i wanted to learn myself and still frustrated today for not having enough money or time to do it. Aikido is my choice though.

try to talk to your parents about it, show them facts about why it is good to learn taekwando. it is not only for defense but it also actually teaches discipline. tell them alot of girls are into self defense class nowadays. i'm sure they'll understand you. or take them with you and let them meet your would be instructor so they can be assured its a safe art. tell them you need their support on this one. who knows you might win an olympic medal someday!

your one cool girl kitty!

good luck!

tbh, I think you're stalling a bit. If your birthday is soon (less than a week away) just ask them now.

I was thinking of maybe flat out asking my parents to take lessons for my birthday present? But I already asked for something else. I don't plan on "beating around the bush" and trying not to just say it to their face, but I just don't know when is a good time to ask.


I think your birthday is a perfect time to ask them. You could ask to not give you your other present.

I'm doing something like this for my birthday.


Except the "other present" isn't exactly a present, it's a hairstyle that I'm asking for my birthday. Sounds really weird I know, but my parents would probably not let me get that hairstyle unless I had a good reason/excuse...(birthday present). Cause it involves hair dying. Maybe I'll just ask for both. Lol. I've never really been good at talking to my parents about anything. T__________T

and...thanks laijunjie14? haha.
