We've been married almost a year and my husband loves martial arts. He stopped his Kung Fu practice around the time of our wedding (last Sept) because it was too costly with everything else. Now he wants to get back into it and he's found a place close to us that's less expensive. He wants me to join him because he thinks we should have a hobby together. I definitely agree to that! I'm not sure I'm cut out for martial arts - I'm of small build and very nervous about learning those kind of practices in front of a group. In fact, I workout 5 times a week but all from home. I'm just not big into group activities - yet I could definitely learn a lot from this. He mainly wants me to take self defense classes, and I really could benefit from them. Part of me wants to do this and the other part is scared to try something new. He's a great guy and I love that he is always looking for ways to do things together. Thoughts?

Yes you should actually. He would love it and it would bring you two closer together. I really want to encourage you to do this. Let him get back into it since he enjoys it and you should go into it with him too. This is a good thing. Try something new and exciting. You just may like it. It will keep you in shape and be great exercise too.

They can join. The Army has a unit somewhere (pretty sure at Ft. Benning, Ga.) that takes people with limited English skills and teaches them English. When they graduate they are then sent to a B.C.T. unit and go through basic like everyone else. However, if this person has special forces experience, why not get a job with a civilian contractor like KBR and make some real money doing the same thing.

Go for it. But as you said that your on big on groups just look at it this way your hubby will be there with you. Your not alone in this besides whats more fun than getting to learn new things and also making new friends.... keep in mind that all those ppl who are in there are just normal people like you do make mistakes and laugh at it later but you will learn something out of it! And if he wants to do something with you together that's nice not alot of husbands want to involve their wife in their daily activities your lucky don't ruin it go and have fun! You will not regret it!

My husband teaches Taekwon-Do. We have lots of couples and families who take class together and they feel that it helps them to bond, especially when practicing at home. Martial arts are about doing YOUR best, not comparing yourself to the group. You might find that you love it!

there is nothing wrong with tring something new as a matter of fact with out doing new things people have a tendency to become to comfortable. how will you know your true limits if you never push your boundries. If your husband wants to do something with you I think you shoud try it the worst that can happen is that you dont like it then you dont have to do it anymore no big deal....thats just my opinion.

I think it would be fun - I think you just have to learn to laugh at yourself if you look goofy in front of people. If it's you and your hubby together, it can only benefit the marriage.

Do it. At least you are there with him at the class to let the other females know he is married and to keep their hands off him. What better way to keep an eye on him.

I've been married 25 years and I know that when they ask for you to go along.....DO IT! They want to be with us. Don't encourage separate lives even in the small things.

Would be a great opportunity for you to kick him down there and explain it away on your lack of skill in the sport.
