I’ve never taken a martial art before, but have always wanted to. I think I’m finally going to take the plunge and I’m very excited. And I would like a little advice. I have a few goals I would like to achieve with my martial art: self defense(main one), exercise and discipline. I’ve kind of narrowed it down to Judo or Jiu-Jitsu. I’m a little worried because I’m not a very aggressive person. To be honest, I would be very afraid, at this point, to get into a fight with someone. That’s one of the reasons I want to do this, not to go pick fights but to be ready if something happened. What would you guys/ladies recommend? I want a good practical self defense, nothing fancy, for a rather non aggressive person like myself. I’m fairly athletic, tall and slim, if that helps or hurts with certain styles. Judo or Jiu-Jitsu…or what? I'm gonna start visiting a few schools in a few weeks and I'm just doing a little research now. Thanks for you input.
