A question of styles…Please do not answer if you do not really know what you are talking about.?

I want to take up martial arts, and am debating between styles. I was thinking ninjitsu, ju-jitsu, or also possibly Kung Fu. There is a place nearby that teaches Shaolin Styles of kung fu, but it is highly expensive and I hear that these are the absolute hardest styes to learn. What would be a good 1st style? I am 20 years old and I have been weight lifting for about a year.

Is Pilates just as effective as weight lifting for women?

I am going on the treadmill and doing pilates. Since pilates is a form of strength training since you use your own body weight/force, do I also need to lift weights?

I’m dying to start some sort of Pilates workout routine but…?

But I’m SO scared to lose my curves!!! (lol) I love how I’m proportioned and I’m really only doing Pilates because I like that sort of work out routine. Should I focus on lifting weights to build muscles in my curvy areas? Will that balance it out? Or will I even lose any curvature by doing Pilates?? (I’ve never done them regularly before)

What pilates exercises should I do to stregthen my lower back so my tailbone, L5, and L4 stay in place?

My rolfer had to move my tailbone, L5, and L4 back into alignment this week. I think they went out of place due to heavy lifting from my stone masonry job. My hip was turn anterior and posterior on left and right sides respectively. Also, my glutes are tight, any stretches I can do to help that?
Thanks Muse!
