What should I do to my fat, pig-like brother?

If you tease him, you'll make it worse. You have to tell him you care about him (and really show it and mean it). Get him interested in something he likes, like martial arts perhaps.

What is a good martial art for a big guy.?

Well Jacob,

Judo would be an obvious option. Kyokushin Karate or Kempo are fairly common styles that train fairly hard. I'm not super familiar with these styles so I'm sure you'll get some better answers regarding them.

Specific styles aside, try a few schools in your area. You'd do a lot better for yourself finding a great teacher in any style than picking one school because of the reputation of the style alone.

If weight lose is a goal then most martial arts will help in this area. Trimming down will make the "acrobatics" much easier (I'm sorry but I can't picture a round house being classified as acrobatic).

What is the oldest Japanese martial art?

According to legend, that would be the martial art described in the Amatsu Tatara Bumon scrolls.

Supposedly, the scrolls describe techniques for weapons creation and use, unarmed combat, and military tactics dating back to 7c. BC. Now... A major caveat...

While there are techniques of Amatsu Tatara medicine (from Amatsu Tatara Shumon) in the Bujinkan (a scroll or two that we seem to be able to trace back to Takamatsu and the Kuki family -- I haven't seen them, but have been taught a few techniques, and historians in the Bujinkan and Kuki family seem to support its authenticity), the only person that I've seen claim Soke-ship of Amatsu Tatara is Tanemura Shoto, a one-time student of Hatsumi Masaaki who split off to form his own organization (The Genbukan)...

Now, Tanemura Shoto claims he inherited some things from Takamatsu Toshitsugu. However, the only evidence we have of him ever even meeting Takamatsu Toshitsugu was a photo of Hatsumi Masaaki taking his early students to meet his teacher and predecessor, Takamatsu Toshitsugu. The extensive list of claims by Tanemura Shoto is suspect. What is not, however, is his ability as a martial artist.

Please keep in mind: the history of this school is nearly myth, so the legitimacy of the art in general is suspect, but if it is true, it would likely be the oldest recorded martial art in Japan.

How do I convince my parents to let me take martial arts?

I'm 14 and a girl. I love martial arts and have always wanted to take them. I fight with my brother allot (ever since we were little kids) and I always lose... If I lose fighting with my brother over a candy bar than how can I protect myself from someone attacking me? I do parkour and martial arts will help me condition for that. I love being active and really want martial arts. But the thing is that I take piano class (its my eighth year this year) and my family spends $40 dollars a week on piano class. I can't quit piano class. How can I convince my parents? I'm an all A student. Thanks!!!

My brother keeps fat-shaming me. He calls me fat and tells me I have to lose weight. My BMI is 18.9. I tell my parents, but they never discipline him. Sometimes he punches me. What should I do?

If it were me, I’d punch back. I’d make it count, too. That’s just me.Anyway, it’s time for you to take some self defense classes. Karate, boxing and kickboxing, and tae kwon do are all good choices. If someone picks on you and then automatically wins, because he punched you, that’s a problem. Right now, it’s your brother. What are you going to do if and when it’s a stranger? An attacker? How are you going to keep yourself from being abducted? What are you going to say, “Oh, officer, I had to get into the car with the serial killer. He punched me.”I’m not a person people pick out to pick on. I still get asked out a lot. I go where I want when I want because I have confidence that I can defend myself.

What martial arts styles have Sammo Hung learned in his lifetime?

HONG KONG Respect is paid when Sammo Hung lumbers down the streets of Tsim Sha Tsui, the neighborhood where he first learned martial arts as a boy.Learn from home: REAL LIFE Self-DefenseWomen ask for his autograph at a cafe where he has his black coffee. Laborers stripped to the waist in the summer heat crowd against the edge of their truck and wave. Tourists snap photos as he strolls along the Avenue of the Stars a sort of Hollywood Walk of Fame here where his hand prints are between Jackie Chans and Brigitte Lins.Not particularly well known among mainstream American audiences, Mr. Hung, 58, is known as the Big Brother of the Hong Kong kung fu film. The famously hefty actor did not go the Hollywood route that Mr. Chan has pursued but has stayed mainly in Asia, where he has directed, produced, choreographed or acted in about 200 movies. He is best known as a fight choreographer, working behind the scenes with stars like Mr. Chan and John Woo, and playing an integral role in the development of the kung fu genre.The entertainment business runs in Mr. Hungs family. His grandmother, Chin Tsi-Ang, was one of the first sword-wielding martial-arts actresses, and his grandfather was a director.At 9 he was sent to be trained in the Tsim Sha Tsui neighborhood of Kowloon, where he met a younger student named Chan Kong-sang, who became Jackie Chan. Under the schools management they became child stars in a performing troupe.We woke early in the morning and worked until 11 at night, Mr. Hung said. There was a small, square wooden stool, and we had to do a handstand on it for an hour. Of course they beat the children. I lived there for seven years.Decades later, in 1988, Mr. Hung played his former master in Painted Faces, a drama that depicts the boys spartan life. Our real suffering, he said, was much worse than what we put in the movie.Mr. Hung said he did not learn kung fu specifically until after he left school. He also spent years studying a variety of fighting styles from China and other Asian nations.Through the 1970s, 80s and 90s Mr. Hung was involved in scores of movies, which the Hong Kong studio system was churning out quickly and cheaply. He specialized in the B-films so beloved by audiences here.Kung fu films have to move with the rest of the world, Mr. Hung said. You couldnt keep on doing sword fights in historic films. People wanted superheroes. They wanted something fast and new.
