Forgive my ignorance -- but isn't kickboxing a martial art?

<<As you never see
her do any moves outside of strikes, I would classify it as brawling,
with acrobatics. >>

However, your argument is quite persuasive, as I've just watched the Buffy 
videos that were released today ... 

<<don't even get me started on how long it took her to
pick up her "martial arts"
(wanders off muttering about 8 years training and only scratching the
surface.....)>>

But isn't the point here that although she has to train to keep her skills 
up, she knows this stuff instinctively. She is The Slayer after all, not a 
reg like you or I.

Cable, confused?) channel...>>

As opposed to those of us cursed with living in an area that has no cable or 
digital coverage and where the landlord refuses to let us put satellite 
dishes up on the side of the flats... anyway, the BBC website promises us 
that Buffy will return this Autumn and in the meantime we have the videos to 
enjoy...

<< "just joined, er, how did this thread start?" >>

It started last week when I posted up some homebrewed stats for everyone's 
favourite Slayer and invited comments, criticisms and suggestions.

Welcome to the list,

cheers,
