Looking for a style

[circa1981]

I'm looking to get back into the martial arts, and I want a different style. I'm looking for a practical defensive style, and since I have certain disabilities, I'm permanently week and have very low endurance for an adult male, so any really physically demanding style is out. Just as important, and this may sounds strange, given all this, but I want a mostly striking art, with maybe like 15 or 20 percent grappling. Also I'd prefer to stick with the more commonly found styles in America. Thanks.

Hapkido is a very efficient art, Korean, Striking, Non Competitive, Circular with an emphasis on energy development. It depends where you are in the US but it's just a suggestion.

It actually sounds more like you need an understanding instructor than a particular style. I would check around and explain the situation to the instructors. See who's answers you like the best and go with that one.

I trained in a style with more emphasis on on grappling then striking, and I simply want to reverse that, but with the grappling only being about 15-20 percent instead of like 60-40.
