No there certainly isn't a system of effective martial art (self-defense or sport) that fits everyone perfectly, everyone has to tweek things a bit for thier preferance of size or whatever. Bruce Lee was big on advocating this, and so am I: Practice legitimate martial arts, beleive in no gospel truths, take from everyting what you can, throw out what is flashy or simply does not work. This is a good way to develope sharp, truely effective skill, in the street and the ring.

Keep learning and tweeking and developing!
