How about the art of snooker hall fighting?

You get to use the cue, balls or heavy ash tray as a weapon.

Fitness doesn't even come into the equation! Just stand around in a smoke filled environment, puffing away at cigarettes and downing a few pints (thats drinking lots of beer to you).

A chumpion fighter in no time!

On a serious note, have you thought of kendo. And most martial arts require a reasonable amount of complexity (sp??), so no matter what you do, you'll need reasonable co-ordination, body movement and balance.

But these can be learnt, one doesn't have to be gifted. But it helps.

I prefer water-color art. It takes more talent than painting with oils. I like the idea of Snooker-Fu. Wonder it I can find a local school?

Whatever you choose just make sure it is either Okinawan or Japanese.

Not flaming you Jabonn, just curious, but why do you suggest only Okinawan or Japanese?

Because I study Uechi-ryu and Judo. The two supreme arts from each. Japanese Arts dominate all other arts in the world.

Well give us a list of the schools around you. As for weapons every school is different same with physical conditioning. But i think Muay Thai probally gets people into shape a lot easier.
