What is a easy martial art for a beginner and learn on my own? I want to get into martial arts to get exercise and lose weight. However I do not have the time nor money to get a trainer. Ideas on how to find a local informal club or train on my would be great. When I say an informal club, I mean a group of people who just hang out because they have the same interests. Sorta like a RC car club, only with martial arts. I do not have the time due to my job and because of the same reason (my job requires constant travel) will not be in a city or place long enough to join a club. Difficult to join and go to a dojo in one city if you are not going to be in that city any amount of time. For those wondering, I am an over the road truck driver. Which means I am always gone and never in one place for long. Hence the reason for no time and not able to join a local gym.

Not for the proud man apart From the raging moon I write On these spindrift pages Nor for the towering dead With their nightingales and psalms But for the lovers, their arms Round the griefs of the ages, Who pay no praise or wages Nor heed my craft or art.

Like on Sundays. Why can't we try to make this happen? Not with money, but with willpower and heart and soul?

Art of the Statesman requires a superior understanding of Art? (LOL) My previous question did not produce satisfactory results, so I'll reformulate it. The skill in which a superior statesman (or stateswoman) manages personal reputation will reflect upon "the state of affairs", as Aristotle intimates. It can be thought of as "spin", or management of appearances, stageplay, and so on. The actor asks, "What is beautiful...and to whom is it beautiful?" There is a moral/ethical component, which Machiavelli revisited in a most radical way. To move fast on the political stage requires careful but quick handling of dangerous props in perilous moments. Skills so acquired increase the power of the actor inasmuch as the ruled accept the ethical/practical beauty of seeing (appearance) them exercised. The shadow on personal liberty is cast. Is there any escape from such an Art? Is this Necessity eternal?
