What fighting style is right for me?

Not everyone is a fighter. You really want the yahoo community to choose an art for you? All these people will do is promote their own respective martial arts and give some bullshlt reason why you should listen. Being a good fighter takes a lot of practice and technique building but it also takes some knack for fighting. You seem to suck at it naturally. We all suck somewhat before we are taught, but the way you described yourself makes it seem like you just suck period. However, you could take any non-bullshlt martial arts class and at least learn to defend yourself against the average person. Be skeptical of your teacher though because alot of schools out here are just in it for the money and will lead you astray, making you believe you can fight until the day you get a serious *** whooping. Dont get wrapped up in sports and the general sparring, whether you take karate, tkd, some chinese art, some mma class, or whatever. Remember that regardless of how real the sparring seems to real life fighting, its still a safe and regulated match. On the street, you aren't safe. there are no rules.
