I don't live anywhere near you. I think I will try to get a heavybag. As for doing cardio, I wake up at 6:00 am to get ready for school. At 7:00 I take the bus to school. At 7:45 school starts. I want to do some cardio at 5:00 to 6:00 am but it just get too cold, dark and too tiring which give me less the motivation to do it. I will try to take TKD lessons but not until the summer when I can get a job because it will put too much stress on my mom. As of right now, my school has after school programs for martial art one a week and I might find a community center that also endorse martial art.

Youngnlearning where do you live? If you are near Toronto Canada I can put you in touch with the right people. Kempai

I'm in Spokane. From Seattle, it's a 20 minute flight or a five hour drive.

backstep.. wait till he throws, shoot in with good timing, grab them behind the neck, keep your shoulders up for protection, bring the knee up into their gut or chin (or nuts if you want to drop him.)
and most guys that swing crazy arent normally the best at telegraphing kicks, so high kick to the head might be in order if you get an opportunity.

what i said is void though until you seek out a qualified instructor in your area.
learn how to strike correctly and keep your balance. heavy bag is a good idea

Since young has been banned I suspect he won't be responding to any more advice.
