Answer 1

It sounds like you want to grapple. The best art for grappling( ground art) is Gracie Brazilian Ju-Jitsu. If you don't want to go to the ground every time then try Aikido, it has locks and throws that will work very well for a smaller dude.
If you want to strike, block and move and don't want the fight to go to the ground then I would try Karate.
Find something that interests you so you'll stick with it.
Have Fun!

Answer 2

The main question is, what Martial Arts disciplines are avaialable in your area, and which one of these disciplines would interest you the most? There is no "best" Martial Art that is tailor made for certain types of people just as there is not a Martial Art that is "better" than another; because each discipline has it's own strength and weakness and both practical and impractical applications. Find out what schools are local to you, and choose three or four (if there are that many or more in your area) and then watch or take some trial classes (like a week or two) if it allows to find out if you like the class. then narrow the choices down to two and pick the one that intrests you the most. The next big thing is to watch out for the "Mcdojo" or cookie cutter schools that say you can get a blackbelt in a shorter span of time than 3-5 years or more because basically you'll be paying for a belt instead of actually earning it, and they usually have very high "turnout" rate, meaning that they are constantly cycling students through and may not really be teaching the students to perfect their techniques. which basically means that their students will prob'ly not be abe to handle themselves well should a conflict arise. These schools also emphasize their achievements like how many tournaments their students have won or placed in which is often a good sign that it's a "belt factory", because a school that focses on actually teaching the students won't put emphasis on tournaments (because competition is the least necessary aspect of Martial Arts) but rather let it be known that they can enter tournaments if they wish, but is not a requirement. You also need to watch the instructor to see if they are good with the students, and take time out to show them proper technique or just let them go without correction. And a good instructor should know the history of the school and it's affiliations with any international or world organizations for their discipline, and also find out how long the instructor has been teaching the discipline. finding the right Martial Art for you is more about what you like or want to get out of the discipline, but you have to like the class and the instructor if you want to continue enrolling in the class. good luck

Answer 3

I agree with ICE.

You probably want to find a good MMA gym, you will learn muay thai kickboxing, BJJ, wrestling, and no gi submission type wrestling. It is a well rounded approach not focusing on one particular art but working on ones that are combat effective in the arena of sport fighting.

Basically you will learn how to punch, kick, take someone down, beat on them there, then put a submission on them and make them quit.

I think you would get more enjoyment out of it then doing something traditional. I have no idea why everyone says Aikido for like every damn answer. Try out MMA, there are a ton of places that do it, and it is pretty easy if you get bored or frustrated easy. However it is rough as hell and you will get a baptism by fire.

That is my two cents.

Answer 4

i suggest that you do kung fu it's really good i've been doing ti for 5years there is many times like hungar kung fu kempo kung fu i do green dragon kung fu you do animal forms like tiger, dragon ,monkey, advanced dragon, snake and you also get to use weapons in kung fu you learn how to use a staff it's a big stick but it's hard also a sword and then 2swords spear and a lot more weapons and forms and it's fun it gets you stronger.

Answer 5

Akimbo and Simple Martial Arts

Akimbo is Energy-Martial-Arts, such as Taiche, and when I say "Simple Martial Arts", just simple Kickboxing.

Answer 6

The problem is, can you take a stab?

I would suggest you learn RBSD whereby you learn how to avoid fight as well.

Answer 7

Kempo is a lot of striking with some kicking, they also teach grappling.

Answer 8

Taekwondo is the best for you, as it was created with short, light people in mind

Answer 9

i'd say you'll try japanese jujitsu, its a mother art so it covers many areas, from it came judo karate aikido and many other styles

Answer 10

MMA is the way to go.
