I am short compared to the people I spar against, 5feet&5inches. My reach is 5feet&9inches. I have very strong legs, strong abdominals, broad shoulders, and descent arms for an athlete.

My current wrestling strategy is basicaly not moving. It isdifficult to submit/pin me so I just wait for my opponent to "give up". Once they do this,I sort of slam my body into thier's in order to cause pain or unbalance them.

My boxing is similar. I wait _for them to change thier angle & relax at the same time(belive it or not many people make this mistake), and I can get a front kick in thier hip.

All I have is defense, my offense is terrible and my _techniques consume time. I am use to no time limit but here lately I find myself racing the clock /rounds and making very bad mistakes. What is a martial art that will help my offense so that endurance isn't the trait that I bring to the table.

PS: those that I practice against are judo, tae kwan do, jujitsu, american wrestling, the thaing arts(bando/lethwei/nanban), and sambo.
