I'm 20 years old and looking to get into martial arts. I live near a Filipino martial arts school. I've actually met with the instructor/owner and we talked a bit about the school and the filipino arts. The school offers various kung fu, karate and escrima styles, which all sound very interesting. I am looking for a martial art that will develop my power, strength, endurance, speed and whatnot. I am about 5'7" and am pretty much in shape but want to develop a strong midsection as well. Filipino martial arts seems like a good fit, but does anyone have any suggestions on my going toward this school compared to another martial art style? I've never done any martial arts at all before. I appreciate all your comments. Thanks.
