 |
|
Ok im just getting started and was wondering what style im trying to take. Im thinking about ninjustsu or what the dojo calls the 8 animal styles.
Jsut to let you know im 5'9" and about 135 punds if that has anythign to do with it
and anpther thing is what type of martial arts would you have to take to learn how to fight like Jet li does in Unleashed??
Thanks

First, welcome to the forum BenefitMC.
To help you determine which style you would like to train with check out the school, watch a few classes, and have a chat with the instructor. Be wary of contracts which lock you into paying.
Your height and weight don't matter. As for Jet Li, he is trained in Chinese Wushu.

cathal has good advise, there, and I would echo it.
If you want to be like Jet Li, then you need to focus more on your training methods as opposed to any one style. The secret is in the training.

I think nin-jitsu would be great for you body type. As far as jet-li is concerned he does alot of Wushu which is a good style. But as for his fighting in that movie , you have to remeber its a movie. And the style was a bit mixed , but mostly street fighting.
