Some guidance from Chuck Norris
The Secret of Inner Strength page 173
"The first thing I suggest to anyone interested in studying karate is that he or she take stock of his or her physical condition and limitations. A person who is short and powerfully built with a low center of gravity would do well to investigate judo. Males or females who are already limber or want to become more flexible might find one of the Korean styles - such as taekwondo or hapkido - of interest. Someone with fast hands and good coordination who is not adverse to a hard workout should look into Japanese karate styles, such as gojo-ryu or shotokan karate. A slightly built person who is not very strong may find jujitsu or aikido appealing because these styles turn an opponent's strength against him. An older person would do well (this phrasing cracks me up) to consider tai chi, one of the most ancient of the martial arts, which is still practiced daily by millions of elderly people in China."

I agree, but I also think that Tae wan do is better for women as they don't have alot of upper body strength and Tae wan do relys more on kicking.

How silly. The myth of gender and upper body strength dies hard. No wonder you didn't sign your name to that. Women who are lacking in upper body strength are lacking because they don't train for upper body strength. I've got some chics for you to meet. And arm wrestle.
