Martial Arts Styles That Rely on Speed and Reflexes

Seahorse23

I'chiliad interested in getting into self-defense and/or a martial art. Judo, wrestling, boxing, karate, systema, aikido, I don't actually care what it is, then long equally it is swell for someone with my traits. They include:
i. Being on the short side in height (5'6")
2. Sort of thickly built...not fat, just dense (see #5).
3. Short, but stiff legs and artillery.
4. Not very flexible (though wanting to go better)
v. Very high bone density,
6. Unusually fast reflexes/reaction time. I'd say this is my greatest strength.
vii. Not ambitious in nature.
8. Very decent stamina.

Any suggestions? Thanks for your input.

First, welcome to Martial Talk.

2d, you will probably get a lot of similar communication. Although yous may think that you can provide a list of personal characteristics and turn the handle and the 'best' martial art for you will pop out the other side, information technology doesn't really work like that.

What you need to exercise first is to take an inventory of the martial arts grooming facilities nearly you lot. In that location'southward no point in looking for some perfect art for you that isn't taught near where you alive.

In one case you have that list, you need to consider things like the hours they are open, and how that fits into your schedule. You lot'll be looking at long-term delivery, so recall nearly what that means. Will y'all be able to proceed preparation for the side by side 10 number of years?

Look at the instructors and check their credentials - we can assistance y'all with this.

Don't worry likewise much virtually your personal abilities. These things are modifiable, that's what good martial arts training does. Call up about what you feel you lot would adopt to practice, not what you lot would be 'best at' right now. Exercise you recollect you would prefer stand up striking to grappling or vice-versa?

Afterwards all that, it'due south time to start going around and checking out the various places y'all've shortlisted. Introduce yourself and enquire if you tin can watch a few classes to become a feel for what they do. If you can, talk to some students who are about your age, perhaps a fairly newer student so that they can share their learning perspective with you.

Don't listen to any advice you get here or anywhere else that gives you a particular manner you should pursue based on the list you provided. That's actually a bad idea in general. You are aiming at the y'all of the future, not the you that exists today. Your abilities will alter as y'all railroad train.

Stick around MT, we're a fun grouping. Let us know how things go for you lot and feel costless to ask more questions.

Thanks for the replies, Touch of Decease and Beak. I've heard of kenpo, but never read up on it. I'll remedy that subsequently.

Here are a listing of all the martial arts centers near me:

Bushi Ban Martial Arts | Kids Martial Arts and Bushi Ban Black Chugalug Self Defence force Classes (bushi ban, boxing, mma,)
Tigers Den Martial Arts & Kickboxing - Seabrook, Clear Lake, League City, Texas TX (mma)
F.I.G.H.T. (haganah? krav maga?)
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Grooming Heart In Webster, TX | Gracie Barra Texas Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)
Martial Arts League Metropolis | Karate League City | Kickboxing League Urban center (mma)
Bay Area Center - Dickinson TX - Seishinkan Aikido Dojo (aikido)
Furia Training Center - Furia Training Center (mma)
League City Texas | Texas White Tiger Taekwondo (taekwondo)
Sinha' Capoeira [no website] (capoeira)
Dwelling house (ninjutsu)
21st Century Self Defense - Quick's Tactical Ninjutsu (ninjutsu)
Christopher Scott's Kung Fu & Yang Tai Chi Chuan in Houston, Texas (Chinese martial arts)

I'chiliad self employed and work from home, and so my hours are pretty flexible. I would like help with checking credentials. I really don't know what I'd prefer to practise. I'd prefer not to go beat out upwardly! Simply I exercise have a flake of ADHD, so maybe something that tin can aid with focus and keeping me engaged without getting bored.

Monkey Turned Wolf

Also with each i pay attending to the price of the martial art dojo. not certain if this volition exist incredibly relevant for you, but to me it is a big concern when looking at dojos.
I would suggest picking four or five places on that list (preferably of unlike arts), and see if you can attend a trial lesson at each. Then decide based on the one that you lot similar the about, with their philosophy and their atmosphere. I would look through the list y'all sent to make sure in that location aren't whatever red flags, but heading to work now and sure someone will past the time I get back. If no 1 has, sick requite them a glance and tell y'all my opinions of them. (annotation that that will be merely my opinion, and in no style definitive)

Bill Mattocks

Sounds like you have plenty of choices. Time to start doing some driving, I'd say.

Things to ask the owner / head instructor would exist:
1) How long take you been open?
2) How many students do you have?
3) How long accept you been instruction?
4) What is your lineage? Who were the instructors who promoted you?
5) What are the requirements for promotion in your mode (tournaments, seminars, traveling demos, etc)?
6) Do you accept contracts or are you month-to-month for payments?
7) What is your school'south emphasis? (self-defense force, tournament sparring, sport, fitness, etc, etc).

The answers to these questions as well as direct observation should help you to make a determination.

WaterGal

Merely I do have a chip of ADHD, so perhaps something that can assistance with focus and keeping me engaged without getting bored.

Ideally, any form will do that! That'southward really going to depend on the instructor and how they run the class, rather than the style.

I looked at a few of the sites, so hither's my thoughts:

Premier Martial Arts is a franchise chain, the kind of place that advertises "get-go a martial arts school and become rich - no martial arts experience needed!". I'd be wary of them.

The Taekwondo instructor at the White Tiger place has adept credentials. But from the schedule, information technology looks like it's geared pretty much entirely towards teaching kids. If TKD interests y'all, you could contact them and run into if they have something for adults that's not conspicuously listed equally such on the schedule, but teaching adults is probably not a big focus for them.

The Tiger Den Karate place as well looks like it'southward geared pretty much entirely towards kids. I couldn't find a schedule on their site to cheque if they had developed classes, though, or whatever info about their instructors. It has some of the same stock photos and content as one of the schools around me uses, haha. Guessing the same people made their website.

Where I'm at, ninjutsu is mostly for kids, but that doesn't seem to be the example with the two places you listed. Though the "Quick Tactical" guy's site raises some yellow flags for me.

I haven't looked at whatever of the other sites yet.

Tony Dismukes

I'll take a await through the websites y'all linked, but I wanted to mention first that Bill's advice in his outset postal service is exactly spot on.

Buka

Welcome to MT, bro.

You lot got great advice above. Only go to every place and picket a couple of classes over a couple of days. If that'southward a pain in the butt to you - you lot probably won't have the patience to train long anyway. And then....go window shop and have fun doing it.

Tony Dismukes

Bushi Ban - I would skip. They don't announced to be actually training MMA, just rather a random smorgasbord of different arts with no indication of what qualifications the instructors have in whatsoever of them.

Tigers Den - I couldn't even find an caption of what art(southward) they teach, let alone their instructor's qualifications. Pass.

F.I.G.H.T. (Haganah Houston)- Might be worth checking out. Modest potential cherry-red flags: they have a BJJ grade on the schedule fifty-fifty though none of their instructors seem to be ranked in BJJ. Also, the instructor's bios all make a signal of talking about their church omnipresence, which makes me wonder if there might exist a proselytizing temper. All the same, if you take an interest in Krav/ Krav-derived arts it might be worth a visit.

Gracie Barra TX - Totally legit BJJ with some top instructors. If you lot're interested in BJJ, requite them a endeavor.

Premier Martial Arts League City - Hard to say - in that location's no information on any of their instructors. Might be worth giving them a call and request who their instructors are and what are their qualifications.

Seishinkan Aikido - looks like they are probably focused more on new-agey spiritual evolution rather than the combative aspects of martial arts. If that's what you're into, then bully. Otherwise, probably not your best choice.

Furia Training Center - In one case once more, no info on the instructors or their qualifications. Investigate further before signing upwards for anything.

Texas White Tiger Tae Kwon Exercise - Non a lot of info. Looks like a standard TKD schoolhouse with a qualified instructor. If y'all're interested in TKD, cheque them out.

Pasadena Martial Arts - No teacher info again. They manifestly teach both Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu and some unspecified class of jujutsu. The Bujinkan is ... inconsistent in their didactics standards, so it can be tricky to know the quality of what yous're getting. If you tin detect out the name of the teacher, maybe you tin can ask around concerning his/her reputation.

Quick'southward Tactical Ninjutsu - I don't peculiarly intendance for the fact that they named their art "tactical ninjutsu", when they really don't take much of foundation in ninjutsu. Putting that aside, they seem to be primarily cartoon from Hock Hochheim's teachings. I'm not that familiar with Hochheim'southward fabric, but I think some of the members here might accept info on that.

Christopher Scott'due south Kung Fu - I'll let the CMA practitioners here weigh in on that one.

Flying Crane

According to the website, Christopher Scott is a Kenpo guy with Chinese MA as well. I don't know what he is actually didactics. Most of the names on his website are not familiar to me. Yet I'yard not a fan of Kenpo people presenting Kenpo every bit if it is a form of traditional Kung fu. And then, just sayin'

Monkey Turned Wolf

On my lunch suspension, so looking through them now. Earlier typing, I'll repeat the thought that if you lot cannot find credentials for an teacher, call/get there and inquire them straight. If what they say doesn't mean annihilation to you (every bit it probably wont), focus on their personality and ask them if they still train or non (in general if your instructor no longer trains that's a bad sign).

Bushi Ban - Seems like it has the nearly generic programs-kids, 'mma' with 'aristocracy combat training', no real info on instructors, and self defense that's marketed equally 'black belt' sef-defense force. On this alone, I wouldn't go.

Tigers Den - The principal instructor looks similar he practices Shotokan, but I can't fully tell outside of him having a 6th degree in something. He also seems a flake full of himself, and the website is designed more than to catch attending than testify you what they're about. I'd laissez passer.

F.I.G.H.T. (Haganah Houston)- Non familiar with what Hagannah Nucleus is, so can't actually say anything about this actually. only comment is that a good krav school is a actually adept schoolhouse, but many krav maga schools are just martial artists trying to cash in on its popularity.

Gracie Barra TX -.Gracie BJJ is almost definitely skilful, simply issue is that they tend to be pricey (iirc, information technology'southward been a while since I looked at one).

Premier Martial Arts League City - I'd pass. Website looks like its trying to sell rather than brainwash, and they have all the current 'gotcha' arts-mma, 'cage fighting (which is substantially mma), kickboxing (a proponent of mma) and krav maga (read my response to fight). Also no idea who teaches what.

Seishinkan Aikido - What Tony said.

Furia Training Center - Could exist skillful. Couldn't find whatsoever existent information on the caput instructor, but might be worth checking out.

Sinha Capoeira- I would definitely check this our-capoeira is a really absurd art, and it is tough to detect a place to train it. If it looks good, definitely worth a shot.

Texas White Tiger Tae Kwon Exercise - If he's a sixth degree Kukkiwon, at least the teacher is qualified. I will avoid saying anything else virtually TKD.

Pasadena Martial Arts - What Tony Said. Maybe if Chris Parker sees this he'll accept a better reply.

Quick'south Tactical Ninjutsu - I avoid annihilation that claims to be 'tactical', and I looked at two of their videos and have issues with their methods. I would pass.

Christopher Scott'due south Kung Fu - Seems to know the most mutual forms of chinese MA (hung gar, shaolin, tai chi) which to me is a practiced affair. I've got no result with him referring to chinese kenpo, as long equally he makes a distinction between that and other forms of kenpo. Would definitely cheque it out.

I'm familiar with the Bushi Ban organization. They by and large produce good, solid fighters with good discipline and positive attitudes. At the same time, they're a concern, and each location is probably going to be a picayune different. Visit, and see what you think for yourself. Afterwards all, a website just shows then much -- and may or may not exist very accurate.

jks9199

Premier and Tigers Den are both marketing/franchise chains. What you get is very, very variable by location. Essentlally, they sell a "storefront/plow-key" package to people who want to run a martial arts school. What yous actually get depends a lot on what the location offers, though well-nigh of the Tigers Den places in my area are TKD daycare places...

Thank you for the replies, Touch of Decease and Bill. I've heard of kenpo, only never read upward on it. I'll remedy that later.
Here are a list of all the martial arts centers near me:

I'thousand self employed and work from home, and then my hours are pretty flexible. I would similar help with checking credentials. I really don't know what I'd prefer to do. I'd prefer non to go crush up! Simply I practice have a flake of ADHD, so possibly something that tin help with focus and keeping me engaged without getting bored.

Lets endeavour to narrow down your choices. If you want to learn weapons similar swords, staff, daggers, etc. Then remove all of the schools that practice MMA, BJJ, and Battle because those aren't going have weapons training.

Ironbear24

Literally any martial art volition exist good for you. No matter the strengths and weaknesses anyone can should be able to adapt. Look around you and see what y'all like best.

kuniggety

The Gracie Barra BJJ school would be no doubtfulness elevation notch. Ane of the instructors, Brandon Mullins, has helped produce some instructional videos that I take and his instruction is fantastic. Equally a BJJ guy, I wouldn't hesitate to train at that place.

Not a lot of people commented on the kung fu school but I pretty much hold with kempodisciple. My experiences are with Northern styles instead of the Southern that he teaches and Chen taiji instead of Yang that he teaches but his principles, lineage, and grooming appear sound.

The biggest communication that I agree with is to bank check out multiple schools before deciding on ane.

Blindside

Lets try to narrow down your choices. If you want to learn weapons like swords, staff, daggers, etc. Then remove all of the schools that exercise MMA, BJJ, and Boxing considering those aren't going take weapons training.

Actually, this one has a FMA component: Mousel'due south Mixed Martial Arts Academy
Is that place too far for you Seahorse?

Tony Dismukes

Really, this one has a FMA component: Mousel's Mixed Martial Arts Academy
Is that place also far for you Seahorse?

That one would likely be at the top of my listing for consideration.
