I have not yet joined shaolin kempo but am seriously concidering it,
and I have questions for anyone who might have a minute to answer
them! I live in IL right now, but might not be here for more than a
couple years. Is Shaolin kempo big enough where i might be able to
find it elswhere? I'm also concidering Aikido, I want something that
is very practical, that will help me if ever I get attacked. Being a
woman, is this a good art to choose, or is there something more
practical?

thanks!
:)
