Would you be mad if your wife wanted to learn Karate?

[Kelly]

and why??
He's mad because he believes I'm preparing for the worst out of fear. He sees the glass half full always.

 

[mMadLuvmaka~Pril~]

Tell him why you want to learn karate for self discipline not just defense.

 

[AllyBaba]

No, that's like being mad if your husband wants to learn how to play guitar.

 

[CaptainS]

Nope. It's good discipline, excellent physical fitness, stress relief, and practical self-defense. I prefer (and study) Kung Fu, but all martial arts are worthwhile.

 

[TheLaughingSandhog]

Sign up for classes.
Any man that opposes somebody learning self defense is foolish.
Besides, there is more to martial arts than fighting. There's discipline, concentration, awareness, learning ones limits..

 

[BK~m~]

He's only mad if he thinks your going to use it on him

 

[Bluebell]

Noooooooh ..... but the husband in question might be well advised to be more circumspect in future conversations.

 

[RockaPaperaScissors]

I don't see why any husband would have a problem with their wife improving themselves unless they are insecure bastards who can't handle the fact that she might learn to kick his @ss if she needed to. Or that she may be attracted to some hot karate instructor.
