thanks to those who responded. I am looking at a few schools. One is the TBBKA, by Larry and Rose Wheeler. Not sure if anyone knows anything about them. I have a few questions as others have been answered by my best friend who desperately wants me to be in it with him and thinks I can do good at the tournament level. Is the majority of the tournament and competitive styles heavyweight or under? I can always remember seeing a couple of heavyweight guys but not very many. Is this traditionally the case?

Hi. I am from texas and am considering joining martial arts for a variety of reasons. I am 29 years old and weigh 255 pounds. I know I would be in the heavyweight division. I was told that the heavyweight division isn't as "populated" as the others are, especially here in texas. I have a friend who won state last year and he said that I could dominate if I stuck to it and learned everything I could. While I want to learn everything I can and lose weight as well if possible, I am interested in the tournaments but a little scared and not sure if I could be any good. Any advice or opinion would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
