To help with the search, I'll give you a little bit about what I'm looking for. I am almost 20 years old, around or probably a little under 6 foot tall, and am very athletic. I weigh around 140-150 lbs and am trying to get bigger (it's hard for me lol). I am looking for a style that is VERY effective. I wouldn't mind one that looks cool/intimidating as well, like capoeira or something, but I heard capoeira isn't very effective. I've looked at Krav Maga, but I'm skeptical about any style that consists of a mix of a bunch of other stuff (I might as well just go to MMA for that). Others I've looked at are Kali, Escrima, and Jiu Jitsu. I don't know what my fighting style would be (striking, grappling, or throwing), but I took a test about this and it said the best one for me is Kung Fu. I was interested in that, but I don't know how effective it is. I also was looking at Muay Thai, but I was told that I didn't have the right body type for it.
I'm basically looking for something that is very effective, makes you very capable of handling multiple opponents, trains you in disarming opponents with things such as guns or knives, and, since I'm not all that huge, allows me to be able to fully defend myself against people bigger than me. If it looks cool/intimidating and graceful, that's a plus too.
Oh, and if it helps with anger problems that's also a plus, but not needed - that's what counselors are for lol. If you have any questions please let me know. Thank you very much for your time!!!
