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.Jabonn Flurry

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.
