Wich Martial Art should I choose?

Question

Wich martial art would best fit my me. My body type is tall and slender, I would like to learn a Japanese art, one that focuses largely on the mind, but also on the body. What Martial Art would fit me?

Answer 1

dmaud do you even do any research before you answer?   TKD a style based on traditional korean arts along with Japanese karate, not Northern Sholin. I lose IQ points reading many of your answers dude.

As for which style, almost all Japanese and Okinawin arts focus on the mind and body. In fact it is one of the main goals of Okinawin karate, bringing Mind, Body, and Spirit closer together. For your frame I would say Akido or Ju Jitsu would be good.

Answer 2

either wrestling, jujitsu or ninjitsu

Answer 3

Well, I do study a martial art called Jeet Kune Do. However this isn't considered as a style, it's merely a process of yourself changing with the different elements you absorb in.

Jeet Kune Do consists of simply; any martial art that you choose and merely combining elements and concepts of those arts together to create own unique type of martial art. It's not traiditional and requires a certain amount of power and patterns like Karate, Judo, Taikwondo, Haikido, etc. etc.

Therefore, you're not limiting yourself to the patterns or movements of a Japanese way, a Chinese way, a Filipino way, etc.

Jeet Kune Do is difficult, it also needs a sharp mind to excel in. The martial art also has concepts of it's own, like stances, the punches, grappling, throws, kicks, etc.

It's main goal is also for making your fighting techniques have the most powerful effect but with great efficiency in movement. If you search up on Google, Jeet Kune Do, you'll find very useful info on the websites, contact numbers on training centres, and more info on JKD's history and the martial art itself.

Hope this helps. Sorry If I couldn't come up with a Japanese art. :D

Answer 4

Ooh, sorry, I don't think Japan has martial arts suited for tall people although, with its large Korean population, I know Japan has good Tae Kwan Do schools.  Tae Kwan Do, being a sort of offshoot of Northern Shaolin mixed with Taekyon, was made by tall people, for tall people.  Since you're tall well, it makes sense to study it.

Answer 5

Jojutsu. its mainly for pepole tall like u but its very hard to learn u have to have balance

Answer 6

For the mind I'd choose Aikido as where the mind gets directed the body follows.

Best wishes :)***
