Karate
Karate is my thing too - so if you want to train in a real practical and ever-evolving martial arts style, you should look into Kimura Shukokai.
From www.shukokai.com website:
Shukokai is derived from one of the original styles of Karate, Shito Ryu, with roots that date back over three hundred years to Okinawa. Using Shito Ryu as a foundation for his style, Sensei Kimura spent the last forty years of his life developing a technique that was second to none, and he perfected the ability to attack with devastating power and speed. Students of Kimura Shukokai learn how to use the biggest muscles of the body to generate this power and speed, and when the technique is mastered, they will be able to overcome their opponents with what Sensei Kimura referred to as “One hit, one kill.” Along with this tremendous ability comes the responsibility of control: students must practice with control in mind, and safety is paramount in the practice, both in and out of the dojo.
Shukokai, above all, is an education in body mechanics, and students find their ability in other sports improves greatly through this practice. Whether it is golf, soccer, tennis or gymnastics, understanding how to use the entire body to create force is the core of all athletic endeavors, and nowhere is this point more dramatically revealed than when learning the proper technique to throw a punch or kick. Anyone can fight, but fighting efficiently is the groundwork on which Kimura Shukokai is based. As students learn how to use the body with this efficiency and understand the importance of self-control, they have gained invaluable knowledge that can be applied to every aspect of their lives.

Iran
So, I'm really not into politics, but:
Iran came up with a great response for that Danish cartoon. Shows great maturity and common sense; After all, Jews are behind everything, even I know a guy from Denmark and that's a good enough proof for the global Jewish conspiracy!

The Muslims did the best publicity possible for this pretty bad cartoon that otherwise would have been seen by a huge group of a few hundred Vikings that would mainly use it to wrap dried fish for next winter.
