When you decide to begin training in martial art you have some questions you have to answer for yourself. Are you looking for a sport to play, an art to dedicate a lifetime to, or a quick fix method of self defence? Some combination of that perhaps? Most of us are, or were all three at times. Where do your priorities lie? You must first decide martial art , or fighting sport. The two are worlds apart, although they overlap in several areas, their mindset, and intent are opposite. You have to know also what is available to you. If you have Uechi-Ryu, and Bak Mei in your area, wanting to do TKD would not help you. Of the available options you must decide which one(s) interest you. Then you have to decide (take your time, it’s important) which available instruction is the one for you. You can change or quit if you don’t like it, but better to stay with the program right through (providing the program is a good one) for the best training. Style-hopping has in my experience cost many a martial artist their potential, so choose wisely, nobody here can tell you what to do for you. So do your homework well. Talk to instructors and students, watch classes, take ‘free introductory’ classes, make your decision. One more thing, good luck
just do whatever fits your needs, if you want hardcore self defense, krav maga, if u want a sport muay thai, boxing, wrestling etc or a traditional martial art like kung fu…
You sound like my cousin :). Any style will fit you, take up the closest gym near you. Kickboxing is great, young people love it alot.
I would say just watch some fights (ex: mma like UFC or Pride, boxing, kickboxing) and see which fighters styles you like and don’t like. Do you want to learn how to fight on the feet?? like punching and kicking etc, or are you more interested in grappling/wrestling?? I don’t think body type should necessarily be a deciding factor in deciding what you should train. Just my two cents.
Any that you want to try.
You don’t choose an art based on your body type, you adapt the art for you.
