In my city I can choose from four different martial arts; Seidokai, Kyokushin, Goju-ryu and Jujitsu. I'll be moving soon and when I do I want to start a martial art, I was thinking a form of soft kung-fu.
But that's still a few months ago and I would really like to start training first, just to test the waters. So I'd like to pick a form available here to do for the next few months.
Can anyone tell me, out of Seidokaikan, Kyokushin, Goju-ryu and Japanese Jujitsu -
Which ones are the closest in similarity to Chinese Kung Fu?
Which ones are the hardest/softest?
Which ones are focused more on Kata?
Which ones are better for shorter people (ie. close combat, not reliant on long reach)?
Now for the lame question that I'm afraid to ask; Do any have 'feats of strength' such as Qi Gong in Shaolin, breaking bricks etc?
or flashy moves, like the jumps and flips of Wushu?
