Hello, The most effective martial art is : VERBAL JUDO, TONGUE FU ....the art of speaking correctly.
Any lawyer can make you look guilty or innocent....just from words.
Learn to talk you way out of trouble is best way and easiest way to win-win situtions. Study body language too.
A good place to start is : TOASTMASTER'S...find the nearest one to you. (to speak anywhere). In addition is it good to start learning to run and run faster than the chaser's. Anyone can learn to do this (old or ancient ways).
There is NO shortcut's in martial arts...either you get strong or stay weak?
Tai chi, Qigong is also a soft way to train. "Prefer (Qigong)!"
Now if you can carry weapons..guns, baseball bats? ....this changes things.
NO short cuts....life is that way in learning martial arts.........Aloha

if you are looking for a martial art because you want to get into shape quick, just about any martial art that is high cardio will do the trick. i have found that muay thai is very effective for that.

ah sorry took so long to respond . was quite bZ with other stuff...
well i wasn't looking for any short cuts in training for any art as u know its takes time to develop an build strengths in any thing u do....
And it wouldn't mind dedicating my life to doing a particular art..cuz life's kinda boring right now although i live in the caribbean ... i got patience an persistance to train every day to exhaustion till i master an create my own style..
my motivation actually i can't explain its not like i wana learn an art to beat up ppl ..my peaceful way of life's quite nice...wana be fit, meditate...enjoy life with my family.. an protect them when need be.
Note well ppl i never stated i was weak.. jus wanted a lil info... so u can go be the farm hand >>>
LOL @ verbal judo...i gotta use dat alot to win convo's with my girl
Yep muy thai's what i wana do but there's no skools down here..
i feel like every things out of reach ... i wouldnt mind getting som1 some prime real estate at a good price down here so i can learn ..
thanx for answering my question they're no quick ways to build strength...

Haha! If you can win in a conversation with your girlfriend using the verbal judo you are an adept at the verbal judo ways!!!
Seriously, though, good luck. I am trying to get started now. I weak, so anything I do right now is very useful and beneficial. I hope to outgrow what I am doing soon though and step it up a bit.
SURELY there is SOME Teacher (any Teacher to start!) where you are.
I am also conditioning my abdominal muscles with the highly regarded Legendary Abs routine. Soon I will be able to demonstrate very tough abdominal development. I will be able to offer my friends a "free shot" to the abdominal region, much like the Great Harry Houdini would do from time to time.
If there is no Teacher at all, you can purchase some instructional video and practice with a friend. You will have to recruit a friend to do it with you. That is a FAR CRY from having a Teacher, but,... where there's a will, there's a way!!!

hmmm...never 4t of it that way...
i've been training with the traditional clay pots 28cm diameter bout 30 pounds filled with sand for the past few dayz now..an today added water to it..the water really adds a punch..my arms are still heavy..muscles saw.
ive seen that movement applies less force..but standing still lifting the pots to a certain elevation tends to stretch an work on most muscles of my upper body.
i usually through a stone to see how far my training has progress an i can't control it..its like my arms apply more strength so now i guess i got to work on sensitivity...
havn't done any lower body training with the pots yet .. apart from running
im thinkin of buying some weights to have on me daily as to get accustomed to them so ill be training doing regular activities.

I'm no expert on Chinese martial arts but Chan style Tai Chi might be a good fit. I'd suspect that it's deep stances would be good for lower body strength. And, of course, Tai Chi is often called "meditation in motion." Just make sure the instructor is a good one that teaches the martial application of the art if you are interested in self/family defence.
Hope this helps.

I think it's just part of the new "text messaging language" that has become so common place these days.
