Ok, so im 16 and have been abused by my father since i was young. About a year ago things got out of hand, now I need to be able to defend myself for sure.
Im about 5' 8", 145 lbs. semi-muscular build, athletic, quick, flexible. No prior fighting experience.
He is about 5' 7" 200 lbs. Has a bit of a beer belly, I have him outclassed in all but his weight and strenth.
I think something that would use his weight and lack of balance against him would maybe work, but i am not sure due to my lack of knowledge in martial arts. So if you could tell me what style, a short description of it and what moves in it would best be used for my defense, i would appreciate that very much. Using different styles is not out of the question either, since i have 1 year to learn before the restraining order runs out. Thanks
Something that could be learned online easily would probably be better. I will learn online, but I am a quick learner so that is only preference, not necessity. Sorry for being so picky, thanks again.
 
hapkido or taekwondo hapkido is good for getting your opponent off ballinced taekwondo is good for flexible and fast people especially for it's kicks
 
I've been grappling for about ten years and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is made for people your size taking larger men. Helio Gracie was a frail man. The only problem is unless you have people to train with its hard to get experience through videos. If your 16 I would suggest joining your High School wrestling team you'll get in great shape and learn how to take someone down and controll them.

On a side note if things are really out of control with your father I would seriously suggest other options than a confrontation with him if you can avoid it, but i can certainly appreciate the need to defend yourself.

Goodluck
 
If you're really being abused by your father, you should be looking for legal help, not coming here to learn how to beat him up or submit him.

Keep in mind that what you are saying on this forum is something to be taken very seriously.

Using this pretense is not going to make anyone who really knows martial arts teach you anything over this forum.

Only kids who don't know their face from their ass will be giving the type of advice you want to hear.

If you're a troll, which is my guess, then go away and stop saying things like this. All internet activity is being monitored and you could cause major problems.
