I am interested in any accelerated learning techniques that you may have for the following eclectic mix: Sparring (Karate), playing the harmonica, typing (seriously). Much appreciated, Michael Hi Tim,

Recently watched your TED video on new way to learn how to swim.

I am interested in any accelerated learning techniques that you may have for the following eclectic mix:

Sparring (Karate), playing the harmonica, typing (seriously).

Much appreciated,

Would anyone here be able to tell me based on a little key info, I am: 6'6" 23yo ~265 .lbs 6' 11" arm span (very long arms) I also have a higher fat to muscle ratio than I prefer and should weigh about the same maybe a few pounds lighter if I filled in my genetic build. I have extremely strong legs and shoulders. I have been interested in Muai Thai, Brazillian Jiu Jitsu and after watching the Couture v Ganzaga fight I am pretty interested in Greco Roman Wrestling. I know these tend to differ quite a bit, but I'm really trying to find a style to fit my size. I'm also trying to find someone to train with or a good gym/club, any suggestions? Again, thanks for everything! Jeremiah Tim,

Need some advice on the martial arts path for kids. What would you recommend? I was thinking Judo from age 7 and then a striking art like Muay thai or traditional western boxing from age 13/14? I love BJJ and freestyle wrestling, but classes are difficult to find where we live. Any advice would be grate! Keep up the great work. Excellent stuff.
