Just wondering. I am trying to lose weight and when I lose it I would like to start some sort of martial arts. Please list the pros and cons of each 1 please, if you don’t mind. I want to pick the one that will be the most beneficial throughout my life.

Thanks.
I plan on joining the military after high-school and was wondering if martial arts would help at all with that?

I was in Tae Kwon Doe as a child. I want to begin martial arts again, and was wondering which is the best. I want a form that offers technique in a stand up fight as well as a ground fight.
Thanks for the input!

Hello people!

I stopped playing cricket and football a while back due to a dislocated shoulder. But now its fully recovered and i was hoping to take up some kind of martial art. Id like to be able to defend myself if needed as i think it is something that everyone should be able to do! I am medium build, 17 years old, 6 foot. So hopefully ill be physically cable for most stuff. I have NO idea about martial arts, so some advice would be much appreciated! Thanyou! :)
