What martials should I do?

Posted on June 20, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

Am 16 years old and between 5″ – 6″(don’t really know my height or weight). I am skinny but not flexible. I work very hard when it comes to improving something. I did boxing for 4 months but moved here but am thinking of trying a different martial arts.(going to gym soon) but have a lot of stamina (am in the athletics club).I have recently been interested in martial arts but don’t know what one to do because there a lot of them near my area.I like the belt system they use in karate because I make a goal like achieve a red belt by 6 months etc. I was gonna visit the martial arts ones that are in my area but I figure it would take too long. So, what do you guys recommend I should do. I want an martial where it can help me in a street fight (fighting multiple people etc.) and also maybe some weapon handling. I would like to spar with people to see how much I progressed. I an martial arts where mainly I will like meet people in my age so I can spar make friends, rivals etc. I wouldn’t mind joining tournaments and stuff like that. I just want something I can mainly focus on achieving like self discipline and things like that.
These are some of the martial arts that are in my area:
Akido
Boxing
Capoeria
Tai chi
Karate(Shotakan and Kyoushin)
Kenpo
Kung fu
Kick boxing
Tae Kwon Do
Jiu jutsu (BBJ too)
Wushu
Judo
Shaolin way
Wing chun (kinda far away)

I’ll leaven up to you guys what do you think thanks. (sorry for my spelling and my paragraphs not making sense i apologise).
