Any martial art would good. They all provide physical activity, teach martial skills and, probably most important, teach patience and focus. The question to ask is why a martial art? Competition? Physical activity? Self Defense? Is this something thy want to do for a few years, or for the rest of their life?

∙ 13y agoIt really depends on what you're looking for. Most Martial Arts are fine for small people. Are you looking for self defense? Krav maga is probably the most practical on the street. Are you looking for fitness, or to copy Bruce Lee's moves? Do you want to compete in tournaments? There are a lot of options out there. My point is that you won't know what to take until you know what you want to get out of it. Just don't be afraid to explore different styles and find one that meets your needs.

The system I practice is Krav Maga
