Best martial art for tall, skinny, cut guy?

Question

i am 16 and i have gone to karate before, but quit after like a year. i want to get back to a martial art and i was wondering what would be good for me. i am 6'.1" 135 lbs and i do heavy lifting excersies about 4 times a week

Answer 1

i would suggest

Tae Kwon Do

it is made for leaner body type

Answer 2

brazilian jiu-jitsu. your lengthiness is great for submissions as it is easier for you to put your body around your opponent.

Answer 3

TKD or Maui Tai

Answer 4

Anything but Judo, Sumo Wrestling/Wrestling.

Answer 5

MMA- the whole 9 yards! Your long limbs can make you a juijitsu  battleship, long limbs can drop muay thai bombs from long range and sprawling from long range will make a shorter wrestler's takedowns futile and demoralizing, plus more ways to compete as you develope your skill set.

Answer 6

I'm biased, but Capoeira is great.

Answer 7

go to www.mattfurey.com.    as far as what martial art, it depends on what your'e training for. mma? self defense? street fighting? i prefer "vee arnis jitsu", "krav maga", and "pankration". i am 6'2" 165lbs. i stayed 135lbs for years.

Answer 8

Muay Thai. Look at all the skinny guys in that. Skinny elbows devastate.

Answer 9

Aikido - Specialize in using an opponents force and energy against them.
