What's the best martial arts for me?

I am a 15 year old Indonesian , the first%26amp;only martial art i learned is the Tae Kwon Do. I quit taking TKD lessons after getting the blue stripe belt because i find it unsuitable for my physical conditions because it focuses on brute strength, i like martial arts that's more defensive and softer movements so what martial arts that suits me well ?

What's the best martial arts for me?
Aikido would be the best choice for you because it utilizes moves that could cripple a opponent quickly. DON'T listen to morons that say it's a "soft" style of fighting. Because anyone who truly KNOWS Aikido knows that it is one of the best defensive styles there is and any style that trains you to break someones limps if they attack you ISN'T TOO SOFT! As a matter of fact other forms of martial arts such as Tae Kwon Do( I took it for 2 years) leave to many "holes" open so it is weak in defense. In Judo if you fight someone who is a lot stronger then you your Judo moves won't work! It's that simple! When I was a wrestler and just started taking Aikido in H.S I sparred a high ranking Judo student who was in college and 2 years older then me. Since I was a powerlifter and he wasn't I was much stronger then him. I choked him out in under 1min! True story! I broke away from his locks very easily.

Reply:You may be looking for something more traditional and/or internal, such as aikido, tai chi, ba qua, etc. I'm not really familiar with the "soft style" arts, but if you look at what's available in your area and you research those arts, (hey, that's what Internet is for) you will be better able to find what you want.





Good luck.
Reply:Two words: Wing Chun.





Wing Chun, a Southern Shaolin style of kung fu, is for self-defense first. Wing Chun is inspired by both the Crane and Snake boxing styles of kung fu, although it to some seemingly doesn't resemble them much. Wing Chun includes every range of fighting, except for wrestling: it has weapons, punching, striking, practical kicking, and even some grappling. It focuses on deflecting and quick counterattacking, not brute strength. It was created to be used by practictioners of all ages, even women, so it is soft enough and yeilding, but can provide self-defense too.
Reply:i believe that tai chi will be suitable


it focus on using the gentler force in overcoming brute strength and it is very gracious in its movement
Reply:I am currently doing both karate and taijiquan (Yang style, simplified form) on alternating days. However, for you I would recommend either aikido or juijitsu and one of the internal martial arts such as tàijíquán or ba gua zhang.
Reply:You have several great choices out there but I too would have to go with Kung Fu or Tai Chi. Their elements are almost all composed of softer or fluid movements. They help compile and generate a great deal of both inner strength and help the mind focus and be clear during a potential self defense situation. You habe the benefit of some past training which means you know that there is a great deal of physical demand involved with any training but in my experience and those I know these are my recomendations...


Good luck in your endeavors!
