Martial Arts

By trying to fully understand your enemy all you do is trap yourself in an endless mind game. I personally dont think I am capable of fully understanding my enemy but does that mean I should not try?

My friend and I have recently gotten ahold of some boxing gloves and mouth gaurds. We are now boxing together and trying to start our own fight club. After we gather enough fighters, starting with our close friends, we will set up weight classes and some time after that begin betting on fights. Though it is illegal, who really cares.

I just watched the Karo vs Diego fight and there was no way Diego won two rounds. Karo threw him like a sissy 6 times, had his tooth knocked out and still fought. Diego only won the third round. How can the judges award Diego the fight unamiously?
What are the qualifications to be a judge?

Is the target almost every woman would go for if attacked by a man, but I always wondered if a woman is capable of doing really severe damage to that area. Do you know any real stories about women causing testicular trauma leading to rupture or worst?

I have made some basic research about martial arts, I know I am more interested in Japanese martial arts, although I try to keep an open mind.
I am mainly interested in acquiring: a good discipline/ character, self-defense skills and "young-forever" fitness that a martial art can offer. My main limitation is: lower back pain.

How do I choose a martial art /or school that gives me what I am looking for and at the same time I can feel confident it will not destroy my lower back (or other bones). :-)

Thank you.
I appreciate your answers.

Everytime I watch a UFC match, I feel like I'm in a trailer park and, at any moment, someone would let loose a piglet for the audience to chase.

Why can't they just use a regular ring?

I went through training and was supposed to graduate boot camp but was medically discharged for hypoglocemia. With my training are my hands considered deadly weapons. If they are, if I fight someone will I get into trouble more then a normal person would?
