Hi, everyone. I was talking to a cowroker about martial arts, and he mentioned that he wants to start taking something, but doesn't know what yet. I started asking him some questions about what he wants to learn, but I didn't want to just tell him to take Aikido right away as it may not be what he's looking for right now. So, for all of you with experience in other arts, what sort of art suits what sorts of personality types? I want to know what questions I should be asking him to point him in the right direction. Such as: quicker to be effective or a better long-term, more competition or cooperative learning, more philosophy or more physicality, ambiguous or explained instruction, etc. I just don't know enough about all the different arts out there. Also, does anyone know of a web resource that might do this for you, like a quiz or something. I live in a community without too many options, though, so that may limit him right there. Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice.
