Or, skip the flourishes and find her a good Krav Maga instructor.

No, doc - then she might kill someone, maybe a teacher or principal. I can't afford that legal fight right now, unless you're willing to be my defense attorney for free.

I suggest Gun Kata. :D

Anyway, I think its awesome your raising a young woman on something other than Barbies and Dresses. Girls these days get enough of that stuff force fed into them.

The young lad might surprise you and avoid the severe staff beating by earning and keeping your trust, no need for stealth tactics when your granted access to the beehive to sample the honey.

LOL!

Girls these days get enough of that stuff force fed into them.

And those aren't the only things, either.

hey, how is Aikido not respectable!?

So true Lecter, so true.

Nothing wrong with Aikido, hell I took that myself for half a year. Might be best for her to start off with TaeKwonDo, learn the basics, then graduate on to other, more "advanced" forms of martial arts. I'd love it if she took up Krav Maga (there's even a nice school near us), but not until she's maybe 16 or so.

Then she'll be able to do some serious damage if she's accosted.

Update: She had a boy over recently with the neighborhood group of 3rd grade delinquents which usually invade my house and drink all the juice and eat all the Yo-Gos. They flipped on Halo for 30 minutes or so and she kicked his ass on Halo Slayer mode. Much to his chagrin. Hehehehe...

She'll break the hearts of a thousand nerds, LeberMac.

At least you can find solace in the fact that she may bless the heart of a Super Nerd.

*thread resurrection*

Yeah, so - now daughter #2 (Who is now 8, daughter #1 is now 12) is following in the footsteps.

I bought Halo 4 a week and a half ago, but only plugged in today. In that 10 day span, both girls have played it through to the end in Normal Mode and are working on Legendary when they have time.

So, I'm struggling through on my normal cautious "engage Covenant at max range with sniping" tactic, when my 2nd grader wanders down:

"Hey, Dad can I play?"
"No, no I'd rather play this level solo."
"OK" <She sits down & watches>

Then it's a flurry of "Dad, no don't use that gun." and "Lookout they're gonna grenade ya" and "Here comes the sword guy." and "Oooh daddy you died again, sure you don't want me to help you through this level? Those were just grunts, they're easy." and "Gah Daddy you're not even playing with any skulls on..."

I put down the controller and walked away. She got through the same level in like 12 seconds.

Yes but you're a newb.

Heheh, i played through Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2. Both on hard. :)

Tried the second mission in Halo 2 on legendary...HOLY SHIT...2 hunters with massive armor, 4 gold elites, and an army of elite jackals...i was screwed...

But meh, i beat it on hard.

And don't forget the army of silver cloaked sword elites.

Yeah is it just me or is Halo 2 way harder than the rest of the Halo games, all 86 of them?
