Am a 17 year old girl, i like a lot of martial arts but can%26#039;t seem to find whats best for me.
I want something where i don%26#039;t necessarily have to grow much muscles but yet be able to take down someone that%26#039;s older, alot bigger %26amp; toughter than me...
Aggressive, fast %26amp; effective is what am looking for, any help?|||I guess, kick box Will be a good choice for you.
Other MA, like Kung Fu, Karate, etc. will take long time for perfection. But in KB, you get to train both hands and feet efficiently and in my opinion for self defence is the best choice. If you start the regular KB, after a while you could exercise Muay Thai too. I%26#039;m sure you%26#039;ll love it, if you%26#039;re in to MMA!
GOOD LUCK!|||A good well rounded style would be freestyle Karate.You will learn stand up,ground,grappling and weapons.What a lot of people don%26#039;t understand is that freestyle Karate is about practical street defence not who can kick the highest or punch a pad the hardest.It%26#039;s definitely not a sport martial art like TKD or BJJ.The motto of my style is the best of everything in progression.Basically that means we don%26#039;t care where the technique comes from we improve it and integrate it into our style while still maintaining tradition as do most freestyle Karate%26#039;s.
The hardest thing is finding a good experienced instructor.I would recommend Bushi Kai or Zen Do Kai, but if your not in Australia or New Zealand you may have some difficulty finding some one who teaches these styles.These styles also usually have separate classes available to everyone in Muay Thai and BJJ/Submission/Shoot wrestling.If you can%26#039;t find one of these i would suggest Kempo or Enshin or another freestyle Karate.

They won%26#039;t work for you. Wing chun is an excellent art for self defense. It requires little strength and (if there%26#039;s any truth to the legend) it was developed by a woman who was able to defeat male opponents. If that%26#039;s the case, she sure didn%26#039;t do it by using brute force. I don%26#039;t think learning Wing Chun alone is enough though. Other arts I recommend are pencak silat, jiujitsu, krav maga, and aikido.|||ju jitsu|||I have been doing karate for 7 1/2 years now and i love it... However if you are looking for something quick i would have to reccommend kickboxing. You learn strong moves fast and it keeps you fit while your doing it. Or you could try to finda place that crosstrains in different types of martial arts.|||Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the best self defense for a woman. BJJ
focuses primarily on ground fighting and most likely if a woman is attacked on the street she will be taken down to the
ground. BJJ is focussed on leverage rather than strength to overcome and submit opponents, if you have ever seen a grappler in action it is truly an art.|||kempo|||Ninjitsu the art of the ninja. fast, effective, and deadly. Focuses mainly on balance and devastating blows using the least amount of energy and is effective on big opponents (this is not my martial arts so im not just saying this). Kempo is also effective, it focuses on getting out of a fight as soon as possible by executing hard blocks and blows (Kempo I do take and I have to say it certainly helps against people who are bigger than you, I know from experience).|||Wing Chun is, in my opinion, one of the best styles of martial arts for women. One of these reasons is that it was developed and systemized largely by a woman, although she learned it from men who developed the beginnings of the system from what I understand. But the principles behind Wing Chun are not to use power vs. power, but rather body mechanics, centerline targeting, and ground- and joint-movements to generate power. Gaining power from strength is typically what Wing Chun wants to avoid. It%26#039;s very well suited for those who are smaller and/or have less muscle mass, although just about anyone can take it and use it effectively. It%26#039;s also a very aggressive style, since one of the key principles is taking down your opponent as fast as possible by targeting chiefly the head and neck.|||Check out Brazilian Jiujitsu.
The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu contains standup techniques for winning a fight, but it is famous for its devastating ground fighting techniques. BJJ was developed to allow a smaller person to defeat a larger person by applying leverage and technique. The idea is to gain superior positioning on your opponent and then to apply numerous chokes, holds, locks and joint manipulations.

The reality is, you have to go exploring to find the instructor and school that fits your character and desires, rather than the martial discipline.
You%26#039;ll spend a lot of time, and maybe a lot of money, at the place you choose, so you need to trust and respect the instructor, enjoy the environment you%26#039;ll train in, and like your fellow students. This is the most important thing of all. If you can find this, almost any system of martial art will offer you the skills and knowledge you are seeking.
Drop by the schools in your area, check them out, chat with the instructors and students, and ask questions. This will help you narrow your field of opportunities down. The Internet should help you find schools, and maybe something like Yelp.com will help you cull the number of places to visit first.
Good luck in your search!
