I'm guessing you don't want your nutsack torn out eigther. It's not exactly about testosterone. The point of combat is to finish your adversary as quickly and efficiently as possible. Their long term well being is inconsequential.
OMG Z!!! nut Sack torn??? sounds like my last marriage...

It's a combination of different southern and northern kung fu styles, mostly shaolin long fist and wing tsun, incorperating some japanese martial arts like jujitsu and shodokan techniques.

Wing Tsun was a system supposedly developed by a woman, so I guess to an extenet that's true. It's also one of the most practical and efficient styles out there. Most well trained women / girls are pretty deadly, but I don't expect a sexist brute like yourself to understand that.

I actually had a run in with a few guys that professed to know these fighting styles,,,,, they focked me up for about the first 2 hits, lil Q5echo like dudes.. ha ha
but yeah, its a quick and very potent style.... but don't really work in close quarters, you have to step back in order to accomplish the style.
Damn those lil bastards focked me up, but then once I got my weight into them..... well it was over, but damn did I regret it,,, broken nose, cracked eye socket and well... after I healed I learned never to flip off a bunch of Asians in a car for no brinker!! ha ha ha sorry Q

Wing Tsun actaully is made for closed spaces and is all about closing distances, protecting your center line, and looking for an opening . If you do boxing, you have a very big advantage over most people who've never trained in any style before. The conditioning for boxing is pretty good and makes you fast on your feet with quick punches, which ofcourse is a very valuable asset especially in practical situations. If you start practicing something like wing tsun, you'll be a force to be reckoned with.

Cheap shot. Not only does it demonstrate your ignorance, but I also don't think you're a "liberal" in the slightest sense of the word.

I will keep that in mind.... mesican over here is getting back into fighting form actually my diabetes has came back with a vengence, and I have to lose another 15lbs, the boxing is really kicking ass. My current girlfriend is a boxer. Damn that woman has a right cross that would put a grown man into a coma. ha ha
but I am always open to new styles and shit.
I have always been a scrapper in some sense and I was reminded of it when I received a promotion at work....all the assault charges that were supposed to be expunged still came up in my background check.....grrrrrr
but I digress, too much red bull and vodka tonight

Anyway, I'm hardly kidding myself. I don't really watch television but I still have to hear about how blatant the media's suppression is from several of my friends who I've turned on to the good doctor.
Most everyone says the same thing about how they seldom hear anything about him.
I'm going to let you in on a little secret, and it's really not hard to fathom when you consider it;
What do News organizations do for work? They report "news", right?
In order for a political candidate to be "newsworthy", he needs to stand out above the others.
Now; Ron Paul, Gulliani, Hilary, Obama...they've ALL garnered national attention from the public because they have been out there with their larger campaign funds, and their grass-roots efforts run by volunteers, etc...all much more so than the VAST majority of hopefuls that don't have these tools at their disposal.
So you see, it's all scalable; The hopefuls no one has ever heard about are NOT going to get nearly as much media attention as the ones the people seem to care about, see?
Now, if you believe that winning or losing is purely all about camera time, you're wrong. Already, some candidates with respectable amounts of airtime are having to drop out. Why? Because the public is not voting for them! There is no interest in them!
You should give voters more credit. They're not all a bunch of "sheep" as you'd like to think, who simply vote for whomever they see the most on T.V.
I mean really, is that logic making you vote for any one of the leading candidates over another right now?

Cool, I don't know of many schools or teacher in Austin. I've mostly trained privately with people that have tons of experience. The only clubs or schools I've been to were Wu-Shu, which is nothing more than flowery eye candy you see in kung fu movies. But I'm sure there must be some Wing Tsun schools in Austin. Whatever you do, avoid any "instructor" that claims to have a "degree" or x "belt" in the style. Kung fu doesn't even have a belt system (infact, it's phylosophically quite against that) or any hierarchical advancement structure. I can assure you that you could whoop most people's asses who supposedly have black belts etc. As for my personal instructors, one of them was a buddy of mine back from the dorm who used to train at the shaolin temple and another one is my buddy from my freshman year, who's been practicing since he was 4. I've trained with other prior to that (althought not much), but you might want to do some google searches for schools in Austin.
