Hello all,
I am a guy who’s not strong and not weak. And what I mean by that is that I can’t stand a fight, but at the same time I have a body with an average strength, if I may say so.
Now I’m 20, and turning 21 in Feb. 2010. Is it late to start training?
Also, I’ve been doing research on jujustu, karate, and other styles and I’m confused. I know that jujutsu is best for ground fighting and karate is best for striking. But to be clear my number one concern is to gain self confidence and the ability to defence my self against strong pple.
What opinions do you have guyz? What’s the style that would best fit my needs (gain confidence, self defence...)?
Is jujutsu particularly practical?
Can I start training in two styles at the same time?
Is training in mma is useful or should I train in pure styles?
Appreciate your help.
