Answer 2

Sounds like you're doing pretty good then. I dont know what to tell you, sounds like you're on the right track. Possibly tai-chi? I know its a spirutual art.

If you have some spare time go to www.fight-site.com. I don't expect someone as experienced as you to feel that its a life changing experience but it could help with something.

Answer 3

Study Isshinryu, which translates to "One-Heart Style", or one heart way.  It is a great style that ive done all my life and it combines great self defense, great fun, not flashy and showy just practical simple moves.  some ranging from easy to more advanced.  Also if you find a good dojo and not a crappy one that just gives away belts because u pay, the testing is very hard and it ties back to how they used to do it in old school japan.  It stems from Okinawa, Japan founded by Master Tatsuo Shimabuku, in 1954.  Also there is a deep spiritual connection with meditation and reaching ryu with in your self.  Its great and I love it :)

Answer 4

Answer 5

Japanese Jiu-jitsu.
