2. Is there a martial art that is particularly suited to capitalize on the strengths of women's bodies rather than men's? If so, how do I go about learning this art form if I don't live in a big urban center? Sara - USA -

3. I have been teaching martial art for a couple of years now through the local Y. I continue to train on my own and I hope to take my 2nd dan test in the near future. My concern is my own group. I feel that I am beginning to repeat myself with the exercises. How can I keep my classes from getting "stale"? -

4. I am 13 and I try my hardest in training, but sometimes I feel as though I am behind when I see other people who have been training since they were little kids. I was wondering if in the long run if those few years really make much of a difference and if there's anything I should keep in mind. Sam - USA
