e.g.: If you are short and bulky, you should not join WTF TKD. If you are extra lean and tall, you want to join TKD and not Judo. If your upper body is well built and strong, some grapplings can be good for you. If your legs are long, get something that involve kicking.

An extreme example will be someone in a stature of a sumotori trying to learn TKD with its all high kicks.

It's also important to find the arts that fit your character. For an example, if you are testosteron-ladden and very aggressive, it's not a good thing to join an Aikido dojo (unless you also consider "character change" or catastration as the part of training) .

I hope this helps.
