Ok I've heard of Judo and Boxing, but the rest... *stumped* I think Sara would go for Tae Bo – cardio-boxing. Very Sara-ish don't you think?
I've tried Tae Bo, and lemme tell ya, it leaves ya
sore the next day. Good workout, though. I used to take self-defense classes, but I paid more attention to the philosophical aspects then any moves per se. I can dodge pretty good, though.
And now a word from the research whore
...Bushido is not exactly a martial art (my hiccup), but rather a way of the samurai, literally "the way of the warrior". However, there are seven priciples of the samurai code which can be applied to any martial art. The seven virtues are as follows:
Gi – Rectitude
Yu – Courage
Jin – Benevolence
Rei – Respect
Makoto or
Shin– Honesty
Meiyo – Honor,Glory
Chugi – Loyalty
Apparently Sara needs work on the respect thing.
T'ai Chi Ch'üan is of Chinese origin and it's more of an internal fighting style. And like the name says, it's the one where you see people in the park making these slow moves standing in place. Sped up, the movements look really impressive.
Now Krav Maga would be right up Sara's alley. It's a martial art created in Israel which combines various aspects of different fighting styles to facilitate a quick takedown. Much emphasis is made on punches and grappling moves. Ideal weaponless defense for melee purposes.

Oh, if she were to have a fight scene with Xena, she'll definitely kick some warrior princess butt.
Lemme ask you this. Which one would Warrick bet on? :devil:

You're a research whore, eh?
Yes.

Or you can try Gracie Lou Freebush's method!
SING. Solar plexus, Instep, Nose, Groin. You know, I can totally see Sara doing a SING on some sleazeball.
Yup, I can totally see that, too. Hmmm ^^ sorry about the long post. I felt a little gabby tonight...
