I really, really want to be martial artist. Ever since I was a kid, actually. But, to be one, I noticed, that you need connections. And I really don't have any. And the other thing is that I'm a girl. Is a girl's body physically fit to handle the stress of doing all those martial arts moves? I haven't many women martial artists (except for on movies and such; but that doesn't count). Don't worry, I won't get offended. Just tell me facts. Personally, I believe, that a woman is rather physically weak when compared to men, but I believe their agility does make up for it; so, just tell me facts I need to know to get started.
Just tips and sources where I can self-teach myself; casue I don't have any teachers or money to afford one. For once, I want to be able to do something I want to; and overcome my procrastination.
Thanks. I would really appreciate it.

I want to start beating people up, but apparently Taekwondo is just for self-defense, no offense. :(

Maybe they assume it because the fights take place inside the octogan? Or maybe they remember they way UFC used to be in the early days and think that it's still the same way?

When i was in Karate/Kung fu class we learned things lkicks and punches ,and if we practiced some kind of holds or something, it was against imaginary opponents ., sparring was only kicking and punching. But in many instances, fighting ends up in the ground with people wrestling, so why don't instructors use that too?

Also, why karate/kung fu schoools in usa( the ones i've seen) never teach us to fail? In learning techniques, they always teach what to do in a situation, and it ends up with you winning everytime. Like, if it's defending agains a knife attack, you do this and this to come on top, but what do you do if you fail?

What was the significance of the topknot hairstyle for the samurai? What about in Kung Fu? Many Kung Fu practiotioners wear a similar hairstyle to the topknot, I was wondering if it is just for practicality or if it has a deeper meaning.
