Thanks for all the replies, i've found a school that i'm interested in, apparently most of the beginners are kids though which I will feel a bit weird about. I'll bring my little nephew with me so i don't come across as a creep haha. I've asked to sit in on a class (not take part) to see if it's right for me.

Hey everyone, I am new to the forum and karate in general. I have always wanted to do a martial arts and had a high interest in karate. I'm 23 years old and have NEVER done a martial arts before in my life. I am also slightly overweight and as unfit as i can be. I am hoping that karate could help boost my fitness, stamina and confidence, do you think it will be right for me and do you think i would be able to keep up? I have horrible flexibility and can barely lift my leg over my waste lol, i was hoping this would make me more flexible aswell. I am VERY nervous about this, please give some honest feetback and suggestions, thanks Also, what should i expect at a 1st beginner class?
