trying to decide on a martial to study...any suggestions?

[wahinewienie]

I am looking for a martial art to study, i trained in jui jitsu for a year, got tired of being treated like a delicate flower, so i'm looking for something else. (no disrespect to jui jitsu...just my club) usable self defence, strength and confidence is what i am hoping to gain. i'm not afraid of hard work, so please give me some advise.
thanks!

try practicing MuayThai at a camp that is near your home

Yeah, Muay Thai is a good one. Generally speaking, my experiance has been that if you train hard in MT, your partners will give it right back. I'm a small female, and sometimes people take some convincing, but two things generally convince people I'm not made of glass: 1) being kicked across the room/into a wall, and laughing at it 2) focused and intense training, people notice and take you seriously. Especially that last one (but the first one's fun if you can get it in :P )

I presume you are interested in MT seeing as you posted your message on a MT/kickboxing forum.

Find a club and do MT. You will work hard and learn excellent self defence techniques.

Looks to me that the new thing for the next 10 years is MT or MMA so go do that.Going to do Kempo Jujitsu and with the MT experience it might be abit slow but that is fine.

U never stop learning.Whatever style or combination of styles.

I have to agree with just about everybody else do muay thai. I just started and I love it so far.
