Finding an effective self defense school has always been difficult. Nowadays most martial arts schools focus on things other than self defense. Most are focused on teaching children or training for competition. There are really only a handful of schools that teach martial arts in their original form. It's sad but true that it's hard to find a martial arts school that's all about martial arts.
Body shape or size really doesn't matter. The art is based upon principles of body mechanics that allow anyone to create immense power. Size and strength is not what makes this happen. It's dynamics. So, while it's true that not everyone has the mental discipline to learn a sophisticated art like Shou' Shu'. It's also true that if you have the desire to learn, you can learn and apply Shou' Shu'.
That's all it really takes. A strong desire to learn. If you have that you'll be successful.
