...to win....tsun jo wing chun or...? For a real life situation (street fight) which martial art better equips you to win....tsun jo wing chun kung fu or...Jeet Kune Do?

I like Jeet Kune Do due to the fact that bruce lee is my biggest hero. However i also happen to be VERY interested in tsun jo wing chun kung fu due to the fact that it is one of the only martial arts ive seen that is a street-practical martial art.

Im 16, 5'11, 208 lbs and im looking for a martial art that will help me to 1) be able to defend myself against 1, 2, or even 3 attackers in a REAL life situation due to the times we're living in.... 2) get in shape..... 3) hone into my chi or whatever word you guys use (ive trained for a couple months in taekwondo but budget ran low and now that im able to rejoin taekwondo just didnt satisfy the desires i have....i am interested in being able to fend off an attacker with a weapon, empty hand self defence, grappling/wrestling, striking, kicking, being able to use objects around me to help me...

now please dont get me wrong im not gonna go looking for fights i just wanna be able to protect myself if a fight comes to me.....My mom has lupus fibromyalgia rhumatoid arthritis spinal meleopathy and chronic fatigue so she is pretty infirm and the 24 min drive to your school would be quite hard for her until i get a permit

So i guess what im asking is.... based on my goals above.... which martial art will better equip me with what im asking for?

Also here are the two sites of the schools im interested in...which one looks better? http://www.newkungfu.com/GMAS_TsunJo.html

First, I'm glad you're taking a responsible view about this. I get so many kids in here talking about beating up kids at school or starting fights. Secondly, I'm sorry to hear about your Mother.

On to your question: I couldn't find prices, but the Tsun Jo place is offering a 35 dollar two-week trial which sounds good. When selecting a martial arts academy, make sure there are no contracts. They WILL come back to bite you.

The instructor at the Tsun Jo school was taught kung fu by a man that learned directly under Bruce Lee. Did you know that? I don't know anything about the Sifu at the Kali school, but they do teach Muay Thai. I'll tell you straight that if I was comparing a muay thai striker vs a kung fu practitioner, I wouldn't even think twice about the outcome. All things being equal, the MT striker should dominate the kung fu fighter.

However, as a marital artist, I find that muay thai lacks spirituality but makes up for it with its viciousness. If I was going to choose one academy of the two you chose for you, I'd probably pick the Tsun Jo but if I was going to do it myself, I'd pick the Kali joint. One solid Muay Thai leg kick will drop your average person.
