Which Martial Arts should i take?

Question

I am 19, in great shape, run and workout weekly and now i want to take a martial arts but i am not sure what one i should go with.

Answer 1

it depends on what you want to learn. there are many types of martial arts to choose from. you should look into some of the schools near your home and see what they have to teach you.

Answer 2

i would choose the one in yoru area that has the best intruction and the most realistic training. here is a list of the steps I would take.

1) Make a list of all teh availible schools in your area.

2) Search on here for questions about finding a good school, as there are many good answers.

3) Visit each school in your area and judge them by the list you made from the search on here.

I do no care if you wind up with BJJ/karate/TKD/Kung Fu/MMA. What matters is that you ahve the best instructor and school.

As for what bujikan Ninja says i would seriously doubt that you would want to take advice from somebody who despit their extensive training thinks that a yellow belt in TKD has to register as a lethal weapon in Florida? Here's proof.
