It is time that I train in some form of martial art, but I'm not sure where a short middle-aged lady can find the best form without lots of study and reading & pain. I have little need of intense self defense - but I recognize the need to be prepared and I want to be in great shape and very aware of my surroundings and the involved levels of consciousness. I have spent time around guys who use the staff & the shadegans (sp.)and do goshen jitsu, but there was a very intense dark aura around that sensi in particular and it was alot like "kill or be killed" for me. Would someone kindly share a little insight and expound upon various types thay might help me reach a decision or at least know what questions to ask a master? Generally, I am a very peaceful non-threatning warrior-ess.

Thanks in advance...hunnychile
