Anonymous Unregistered	First step would be to find out what's available in your area, that could really narrow down your choices.

In Japan kendo is a regular part of the average school's athletic program. Iaido generally appeals to an older crowd, but it is not unheard of for people your age to study it. As yen said, the first step is always to find out what's available in your area.
