At this point, I am really leaning toward the CLF. It feels natural, and seems to have what I'm looking for. Only one concern though....it seems to be mostly a long fist style, suitable for people with longer limbs. I am somewhat shorter, with strong legs and a lower center of gravity. Gichin Funakoshi said something like Naha-te (upright, frontal styles) for shorter people, and Shuri-Te (horse stance, side facing) for taller. I'm wondering if this holds any weight when it comes to these arts, or does it really adjust to the practitioner? Would I be better off doing something that capitalized on my natural advantages? Please, I am trying to avoid the generic "Yoo must find good TEE-CHAH!!!" type of responses, and only discuss specifics. thanks
