Thanks for all your suggestions. Talking to people who have taken martial arts has proved to be very helpful, moreso than on my own.

I'm an 18 year old female, 5'4" and 120 pounds. I have always wanted to take a form of martial arts. The philosophy has always interested me, and the ability to kick butt if I have to is always appealing, but not the focus. The problem is, I have absolutely no clue on which would be a good one. I'd preferably not take one that focused on defense, since that's too girly for me, but one focused on throwing people around wouldn't be too good for me either, since I'm so tiny. I've looked everywhere for sites or whatever that could help me, and going to martial arts places hasn't been much help, since they were mainly focused on getting me to sign up with them. Can anyone give me advice on where to look and so forth? I'd be so appreciative.
