martial arts for my bro?

[kataman]

Tell him to try them all and pick whichever he likes the best.

I aggree, karate is always a good choice,well that me.

[Kreisi]

Judo simply for loosing weight and because he is chunky.

Hahaha^

Honestly though I would examine a variety of schools in your area and attend several classes before he makes up his mind. The last thing he wants to do is just choose a school then give up MA all together because he is not learning anything useful.

[1kickKO]

I'm with krzy on that one.

[Souldburned]

if he likes all the choises I would say shotokan, but that is up to him.

You should definately go visit all of your options and see what he likes. Do not choose one based on his physical build. I know several people who were very short, squatty, fluffy, etc when they were young and they later ended up tall and skinny.

 

As for helping him lose weight, the style will make little differance. He should be on a good eating plan, not a diet. Diets are to restrictive and do all kinds of harm. By good eating plan I mean something like Body 4 Life or the like. He is also at an age where he can start lifting weights under a certified Fitness Trainer. They are not cheap, but they will keep him form getting hurt as easily.

So have you found a style that suits him yet? C'mon ya gotta fill us in on this kind of stuff.

[krzychicano]

Don't leave us in the dark its my life long dream to find out if your bro is taking MA!

hey sorry bout that my computer wasnt working so we had to get it fixed. i am 2nd degree black in shotokan and i do my katas and teach a couple of friends some stuff at my house and he said it looked cool and fun so now he takes shotokan and i teach him stuff outside of class so i'm glad he's taking it cuz he used to get picked on alot and now he's more confident in defending himself
