Ouch. D: I'd suggest, if you're interested, Tai Chi or Aikido. They're very easy on the body, or so I've heard.

Did karate (but a pretty westernised version I know now) for years about a decade ago, and have been looking for somewhere to do either Krav Maga, or Ninjitsu but live in a pretty small city these days, there's somewhere that does Wing Chun so might do that but its a bit meh imo.

Krav Maga and Ninjutsu are both very solid, though be careful where you learn KM, some of the places around me are very dodgy. Since there's no belt-system, AFAIK, it can be hard to find someone with good credentials. YMMV.
I find Wing Chun to be a bit dated, but Jeet Kune Do is based off of it, and is very effective. If it's available around you, you may want to check that out.

I believe Wing Chun was the first martial art that Bruce Lee learned.

I carry a pocket knife clipped to my pants pocket, but its mostly for being convenient, but obviously it can double as a defense weapon. Ive only pulled it once with the intention of ruining someones attempts at stupid. I was standing at a urinal and as a weird thing I always do, I watch behind me using the chrome plumbing on them. I noticed this guy came in and started staring at me pretty heavily, and then started to almost pace and the dude never took his eyes off me. So I finished real quick and as I turned I pulled and unfolded my knife real quick and simply told him "Your about to be stupid, DONT" And then he kindda just buggered off. Soooo, guess Im glad I carry one anyways

Reread the thread. I think you are confusing my posts with someone else perhaps. All I said was that the weight of items has no bearing on either being paranoid or living in Somalia. It was an odd response like someone asking why you are going to Florida for vacation and you responding that your shirt doesn't fit quite right. If you wanted to address their question the response has nothing to do with the weight. They asked, essentially, why you felt the need to carry all the weapons around and your response was that the weight didn't bother you, which doesn't really answer the question.

[size:14pt]Seminary Student Sentenced to Community Service in Stop-and-Frisk Plea Deal[/size]
MANHATTAN CRIMINAL COURT — A Christian ministry student who was arrested on his first-ever visit to the Big Apple after a cop found a one-inch blade in his pocket during a stop-and-frisk was sentenced to two days of community service and a fine Monday.
Considering that Clayton Baltzer, 19, starts his annual summer gig working with special needs children at the Arrowhead Bible Camp near his Pennsylvania college on Friday, Baltzer will likely complete his sentence by Saturday night.
On the Inside first reported Baltzer's story Monday morning just before the city’s most unassuming perpetrator appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court along with scores of real miscreants in handcuffs.
Baltzer and his relieved father, Tim, drove 11 hours on Sunday to get here from Columbus, Ohio home in time for Clayton Baltzer's court date. They said they could not wait to pay the $125 fine and get back in their car for the 500 mile ride home.
Hell will likely freeze over before they return.
