Jack Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 MrDash, there are no better arts. Some are better for sport, some are better for self defence, etc. Also, it depends on your body type, you might be more suited to one art than another For a list of martial arts, check out the ones on the left menu of http://www.kickboxing.com Have a look around, pick out something you like JackCurrently 'off' from formal MA trainingKarateForums.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramcalgary Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 The martial art best suited for you depends on your size and your build. Some arts that are considered sport are also good self defense. At your age the martial arts world awaits go to studios near you and watch. See what you like and ask questions.

Joecooke007 Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 No martial arts are bette then others. You need to be looking for something more specific then just "self defense". Boards don't hit back. -Bruce Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ad Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 mr dash, you appealed to be because me being male aswell and only one year younger than you, i thought i might be able to help you on this i practice, well jus read the signature , i feel that kickboxing would be prefered for the sporty "Tall" type kinda fighter, and the kung fu part of which i do focuses on more on the self defense and inner depth of martial arts, dash- you will notice that the more eastern and philosphical arts are more based on forms and self defense, but the more western and commen arts would focus more and harcore fighting, - take your pick i guess but please i hope this comment hasnt offened anyone, it is only my opinion, and i am not stereotyping no kung fu and kickboxing fighter , Brown Sash Hsing I/Lau Gar Kung FuBrown Belt San Shou17 yr oldhttp://www.selfdefencehelp.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDash Posted December 28, 2001 Author Share Posted December 28, 2001 About myself i weigh about 60kg and i am about 1.70m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 Well, I'm 15 years of age, 58kg and am 1.69 so I'm VERY similar to build to you I suppose Personally, I do Tae Kwon Do which is a bit more sporty than hardcore fighting, but, it's still helpful for self defence (a lot of it matters on wtf/itf also). If you're after a rough and ready art thats better for realistic situations, look into arts such as Muay Thai or Brazillian Jiu Jutsu, or Ju Jitsu. Something like that may satisfy your needs better. However, take a look at all the schools around, ask questions, see what takes your fancy. Good luck!

Prodigy-Child Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 the art that you are happy with is the best martial art to do do some research and find out what interests you and try to find a school that teaches it You can boo me if you want, You know I'm right!-Chris Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
