Blarg,

Thanks for the insight. Interestingly enough, White Crane style is something I had looked as a possibility (and I still do). Hard to find practicioners though.

I also had to take 6 weeks of wrestling, which was very interesting, because I discovered, as you pointed out, that there is a world of difference in a shorter opponent's ability to put leverage on me vice the other way around. So hopefully I can find a good style for that will incorporate some basic grappling as well. Anyhow, thanks again.
