Greetings and welcome to MT..No one can tell you what to take..Pick a place out of the Yellow Pages that strikes your interest, see if they offer a trial class..If it's not what you like you can move on..Others will have better comments..Keep us posted...

Definately check out different schools and keep in mind that finding the right teacher for you can be at least as important as finding the right martial art!

[scottcatchot]

Welcome.. Think of what interests you most regarding the martial arts, what are your reasons for wanting to start. That will help give you a guide line. Besides that I just say get in and try it out. It is a fun journey.

Hello, You may want to check out JUDO!

Keep in mind you will want to train someplace close to home. Reason is because it will be easy to go and come home and less time traveling.

Make sure you check out the classes before you sign up and have respect of the ways the Teacher teach their students. (go several times before making a choice). Is the hours and days work for you?

Stay away from Tournment oriented schools. Tournment fighting is total different from real fighting.

Visited as many places as you can and get a feel for each place and the people there too.

Why JUDO? My son does High school judo and practices Kempo near home. In judo...it is real hands on learning and can be use right away..it is not very lethal or aggressvie style of fighting. But it works great!

If you punch and hit someone...the law will look at it as assult and battery...Judo throws are more passive? ....I am not a lawyer or police officer. Please check the laws in your state!

Please let us know what you have decided? ............Aloha

there is no superior martial art, only superior teachers and superior students. check out the schools in your area and find out which one meets your personality, expectations and needs the best.

me, i love kenpo. i've trained in many other styles but my primary art is kenpo. why kenpo? because i started while in college and the only school within walking distance was a kenpo school. i lucked out that it was an awesome school run by intelligent, honorable, talented men.

Try a few local schools first (and sometimes the extra travel time will worth it). Most offer some type of "intro" program. Each styles has is advantages.

Why dont you go check out a few schools close to your area. See what they have to offer in terms of content, price, availability, ect. and come back and write about it. And while no one will be able to answer the question: "Which Martial Art is best?", they may be able to point you in the right direction towards which would prob be the better deal for you.

There is no *best* martial art, only what's best for YOU. What are your choices in schools?
