What Type Of Martial Arts Should I Learn?

I am a 17 year old female and I’m going off to college next year. I want to take a martial arts class that teaches me self defense and is a good workout at the same time. I was told not to take Jujitsu because that is a type of martial arts that deals with overpowering an opponent and because I am only 5″4′ I will not be able to overpower an opponent. Is this true and what type of martial arts would be best for me? Thanks!

What Type Of Martial Arts Should I Start Taking Classes In?

I prefer a type that is STRICTLY self-defense. I have taken classes in TaiChi before, but I would like to practice something that is a little more “physically energetic” so to speak. However, I have heard that TaiChi is the Grandmaster of Martial Arts. Is this true? I am looking for something that has a “philisophy” as well as a physical discipline. I do find Aikido very interesting. I guess what I would be looking for would be a “soft” style?

The 13 year old is my nephew and it is an annual beach trip with his parents,his 11 year old brother, his 7 year old sister, my mom and my 7 year old daughter. We have always had a great time doing arts and crafts but last year I realized that he was getting a little old for the stuff we have always done and I really don’t know what a guy his age would find “cool” to do….. I really don’t want to embaress him, I just want him to have fun. Any ideas?
