The right martial art for me

Shademan · 12-30-2007, 05:01 AM

so i have been searching for the right martial art for me. Earlier i have treid both taekwondo, which i felt were to stiff and strict, and Ninjutsu, which i really liked but felt wasnt right for me.
How can decide what martial art is the right one for me?
Now i know discipline tend to be a advantage in martial arts, but i am more of the "free spirited" type...
i have looked abit into southern praying mantis style but mainly just because of its visual appeal. I do like however that it dont have to many kicks. kickin' aint my best move.

Hope that anyone can help!

Muay Thai in conjunction with BJJ IMHO.
Best of luck,
B.

You just have to study, my friend. There are a lot of styles out there. If you don't like kicking then you should stay away from those styles that rely on kicking a lot, or that have a lot of kicking moves.
