I'm in physical therapy right now,so I'm doing lots of strengthening...

Tai Chi doesn't appeal to me...In elementary school my teacher who is also a MA instructor made us do it and I hated it with a passion.

Thanks. I found a school that offers Judo,Karate,Hapkido,Kung Fu,kickboxing,Tae Kwon Do and special weapons classes...Do you think it would be any good?I can check it out after school today. Then there are a couple others that I may check out also at some point soon.

Anyone else?

My PT and doctor are saying that maybe I'll be able to run again,but I really don't want to risk not ever really being able to do anything again since I'm only 16...

Well..Considering winter is coming,rollerblading really isn't an option for me right now.I'm in physical therapy right now,so regaining strength and mobility isn't an issue,it's more of what I'll be able to do in the future to replace what I can't do. Umm...I don't really know what style of MA I want to do since I don't know much about any,but I want one that has a good balance of everything and that wouldn't be too stressful on my ankle.I don't really care too much about the fighting/contact..Are there any styles that focus more on forms/katas than others?

I'm 16 and have had a lot of trouble with my ankles (especially my left within the past year because I've sprained it twice within that time period,running),and the only sports I do are track (which I can no longer do) and dance which I can't do anymore either (well,the styles I like)..So I was thinking about physical activities that I could do,and was wondering about martial arts because I don't really know too much about them,but I know like dance and track they require commitment both mentally and physically,and I like that.Could I do it even though my ankles not the greatest?It's really repetetive pounding (running) and jumping that I can't really handle too well.And what style of martial arts would you recommend? Thanks.
