Attitude not altitude, remember being scared is an active choice, little people are often more able to look after themselve's and being being quicker and have better center of gravity, being 5 ft6 to 6 ft is optimal,. Krav mag is a hybrid and generally used by the military (Mossad/IDF/SAS) with the aim of killing or crippling the other person, be careful, people are fragile and a trip or fall or just 1 punch can kill. Also there is no spiritual style to this,. as it has only been around since the 40's, , the main focus is speed/power and aggression,. it doesn't take years to learn to defend yourself or disarm people it just takes practice and sparring. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krav_Maga
wing chun is where it's at, no retreat, defend yourself in the space of a telephone box, great for boats, use your attackers force against themself,.. http://www.thewingchunschool.co.uk/

Yeah Krav Maga sounds pretty mean. one thing I've noticed though is if you can't practice the techniques at sparring force and in actual sparring then you'll never know you can pull it off when needed. Muay Thai is pretty straight forward in that respect they'll show you some moves and then you can pad up and get in there and have it.

Krav Magra is great if you want to literally rip someones ear off or gouge their eye out, but if you don't really want to attack like a brave staffie, then kung-fu is the way ahead and great for your stamina as thats what count's, but remember, if you can't take a beating, then don't dish it out and it's ALL about practice, do try to remember that that there body of water is a usefull defence as well, just 1 push,.. that's all it took.

You can legally trim any branches that overhang your property. This is what the government website say. When you can trim hedges or trees You can trim branches or roots that cross into your property from a neighbour’s property or a public road. You can only trim up to the property boundary. If you do more than this, your neighbour could take you to court for damaging their property. If you live in a conservation area, or the trees in the hedge are protected by a ‘tree preservation order’, you might need your council’s permission to trim them.
