What is the best martial arts style for me?

Q: I am a 5’4.. 105 pound girl. I am extremely interested in learning some form of martial arts. However, I am a bit clueless on the different styles. I was wondering if anyone who is more experienced in the different styles could help me figure out the best style for me.I am looking for a powerful more offensive fighting style. I am personally not to big on throws. The more punches and kicks the better. With my small size I believe my quickness may help whichever fighting style I choose.Also to add to this. I am asking those who know alot about martial arts to begin with. Please don’t tell me to look into martial arts for myself and please don’t give me dumb responses. Just those who’d like to give me their opinion on what fighting style they think would best suit me. Other than that, don’t reply please.

A: Since you have emphasized on your stature and quickness, you might want to take a look at the art of Jeet Kune Do. This is probably one of the latest form of martial arts that have been developed during this century. This innovative technique was developed by the legendary martial artist/actor, Bruce Lee. Some people might say that he was just an actor playing a tough guy on his movies. That may be true to some extent. But he was basically conditioned and exposed to fighting at an early age, due to the environment and neighborhood where he grew up. The main reason why I have shared this info with you is because, just like you, Bruce Lee was also small in stature. With his philosophy and knowledge of fighting and adapting to different styles, his main emphasis with his technique, was speed and accuracy.He stated that speed and accuracy with precise technique, could sustain an opponent that used strength and brute force.

What Martial Arts Style Best Incorporates Tumbling?

Q: I’m a trampoline and tumbling athlete who’s always been interested in martial arts. I’m trying to decide a style to pursue, and I would love to study a style that I could incorporate my gymnastics training in. Does anyone know which style would best fit this criteria? Any help is appreciated, please and thanks!

A: I know that certain parts of the bujinkan still teach cartwheels and flips as a way to reverse joint locks, plus standard rolling and breakfalling, but you’d have to check with your local instructor to see if they still do that. Search for a local instructor at winjutsu.com or ninjutsu.com and contact them directly.Best of luck.

Q: I am 15 years old 6’4 and 180 lbs at about 9-10% bodyfat. I have wrestled for 3 years but lately I’ve been feeling the need to pursue martial arts. What style should I take lessons for? Karate, Tkd, mma, boxing, bjj? What type do you think would suit me the best?

A: ok, wow i love ur guys respect for boxing… as a wrestler ur proably gona do good in bjj, bc it gona be mostly on the ground there are takedowns and throws, and u dont have to wory about falling on ur back, ur tall and slim at 180 so boxing would be good but its not for everyone, bc u got to be willing to get hit, and some guys dont like that, kickboxing or muay thai would be also things u might look into, TKD is great but its not for everyone most wrestler i know dont like TKD, i got nothing for or against it the best thing to do is try each one out and see which one u like,
