Help choosing a martial art style - 07/03/10 12:33 AM
So I'll be attending the University of Washington next year, and I want to start taking martial arts. At the IMA (intramural activities building, the gym basically) they have a few different martial arts classes you can take for really cheap. Like 30 or 40 bucks a quarter for students.
I wanted to take either muay thai or BJJ, but unfortunately they don't have either of those. So here's what they do have:
Aikido Shin Ryu
Judo
Karate (Shotokan)
Kendo
Kung Fu/Tai Chi
Tae Kwon Do
Of those which should I take? And if you could elaborate a bit that would be great. I'm looking to be a better overall fighter and if a fight were to break out somewhere for example I could successfully defend myself. Thanks!
