Most of the Dojo's In the Indianapolis area I've been to seem strictly about competition. Anyone have any suggestions? I would try to train in one of these dojo's, but even my friends who go to seperate ones (which I checked both out) say that they really try to push the competition thing. Winning a medal is not what I'm in it for, if you know what I mean

Hello, my name is Eric. I'm 15 years old and would like to start training in martial arts. I'm not very athletic, but this has been a goal and now by reading some of the storys on this website I've finally got the inspiration to take a step twords my goals & dreams. I'm silightly overweight (5'9 190) well actually a bit overweight, but I've heard that you can start out small and once your in shape you can move on to bigger stuff. I have no interest in competing, though. My goals are strictly to be more confident, and have peace of mind (or so to say) every day. I'd like a program that I could do out of my own home... Atleast for now, I'd feel like I'm intruding at my age with no training if I went to a class. Any suggestions/links? Thanks a million. -Eric
