Hi all, First of all, thanks for viewing my post. Please, don't hesitate to post any comments, any feedback is greatly appreciated. After reading great responses from other threads, I've decided to post and seek for advice in finding a suitable art to practice. Some quick facts about me, I’m 19, 1.7m tall, and weights about 190pounds , I’m not sure about the % of my body fat, and my whole body is flabby. Yes, I’m a couch potato since childhood and took up smoking while I was in my early teens. I’m neither agile nor flexible, used to do weights training because of sports commitment, and able to do nonstop 30 push ups, 5 chin ups, and 12 dips. Been playing rugby for the past 3 years while I was studying in Australia, all these activities seems to be very taxing for me. About a month ago, I decided to change my life, so I quit smoking, took up a low carb diet, and started doing brisk walk around my neighborhood for about 30 mins , 3 times per week, still trying to build up the pace. I’ve just enrolled in my school gym and found out that they offer various martial arts classes every week, e.g kickboxing, boxing, ju jit su (spelling), judo, karate, taekwando, kendo, wing chun, muay thai, and tai chi. Now, I would like to know which form of martial which is suitable for me to pursue. I’ve seen some dojos in the neighboring suburbs, but can’t recall which form they practice. I would like to be able to defend myself, and my loved ones, and at the same time shape up my body to be toner. I appreciate your time on reading my long winded post. Many Thanks in advance. sorry for the emotions, just thought that it might lighten up the post abit.
