isshinryu5toforever Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 You may want to try a style of traditional Karate, Tang Soo Do, or Tae Kwon Do. They require strength and conditioning moreso than finesse a lot of times. I know that Karate schools incorporate weapons like bo and sai, I don't know if many TKD schools do. I have strong legs as well (weigh 180, 500 lb squat (3 years ago), 800 lb box squat (last year). I do Isshin-Ryu Karate, but my school is into the traditional style of training. Lots of conditioning (Shinai used frequently), lots of discipline (sensei stick, if anyone knows what this is I commend you.) It's going to be up to your personal preference. In traditional schools you won't learn to do fancy jumps and spins. It's all up to personal preference. The only way for you to know is experiment a little. Find a school you think you'll like, try it for a few months. If you can't stand it, look for other schools. Check around, look at enrollments, instructors, etc. You're a smart kid I'm sure you'll figure it out. He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened.- Tao Te Ching"Move as swift as a wind, stay as silent as forest, attack as fierce as fire, undefeatable defense like a mountain."- Sun Tzu, the Art of War
