oooooooooo one more thing before i look.... what do you guys think would be a good style for me? i'm looking for like a martial art i can totally use that great on body conditioning and uses both grappling and striking...i wanna get to the point where i'm strong and skilled enough to win your average fights...err hard to explain.... i don't want to hurt people i just want the confidence and know how to like protect myself...or my woman...or anyone else.... soo i'd like to be able to disable someone easily too...(in time of course i'm not expecting to go there a few weeks and be huaahhh bring it on!) and if posiible i'd like to avoid karate...not that it's bad or anything it's just really popular

Thx for all the feedback guys i think i'm gonna see what's available around here! WOOOOOOOOOO (heh i'm excited)

Hey all, i'm new here... i'm 19years old and i've always been really interested in learning martial arts...but my entire life i've had problems with motivation and self discipline and i can never imagine myself learning the martial arts inside a crowded room with a large group (which is all that's available to me here) (and no offence what so ever to anybody) My question is if anybody knows if it's possible to learn martial arts from a master maybe in japan\china or even somewhere close to where i'm from (Canada B.C) and i say this because i know i need something that i have to put full attention on and almost be forced to do it... i'm looking for someone to take me on as an apprentice or something... and i know i'd do so great if i just tried because i've had friends who're black belts in karate that've been surprised by my agility and nimbleness as well as strength for someone who's 5'11 and weighs a measly 143 (used to weigh more...rapid metabalism makes me skinny when i'm lazy)...phew sorry for the long post i'm gonna stop now any help we be greater then you could imagine
