And would books or videos/dvds be better?
Thanks for any help people give me.  |
Hey Bro, There are many good martial arts out there, and there are those that are taught by fools. I would start by looking into a few places in your area, and trying a workout or two at each (most will let you for free), then decide which one feels best in terms of your interest, teaching style, atmosphere, etc. If you train hard you can get into shape and learn to defend yourself with almost any fighting style. Jeet Kune Do is fantastic, but so is Muay Thai, boxing, or Ju Jitsu too. Try them out and pick the one that seems to suit you best. Good luck, let us know how it turns out.
