Hi everyone! I'm Antonio, 23 years old, from England. I'm currently working as writer and due to my work's nature, I work before computer for a really long time. Recently I sense that my body is getting weaker and I was thinking it's better if I start to work out and take care of my health more.
Besides working out, I also concern about my safety. Currently I'm living in Vietnam, probably for 3 months. Although it's quite peaceful here but a Vietnamese friend often recommend me to learn some sort of self-defense, just in case. I'm not sure what he meant but since he's native, he probably knows something.
I hope to learn and share my experience with you guys. Thanks!

Hi Antonio, welcome to the forum.
If you look for self defence Krav Maga is a good option...although many art can do the job, but KM is expressly made for this purpose. |

Welcome to the Forum Antonio.
Unfortunately I do not know much about Vietnam, but i'd think that your friend might be on to something.
What has your google search come up with Self-Defense or MA Schools come up with? |
