I study goju (or gojo, meaning “hard-soft”). I’m on this kata right now. It’s not easy, but when I get it right, it feels great!
@aprimsimnel: Just make the noise. That would scare me away.
Ninjustu, the art of the ninja. I’ve been taking ninjutsu for a while now and I think it is MUCH more interesting then all the other types of martial arts
Jui-Jutsu. My friend is in it and she loves it.
Try a bunch, pick the one you like.
I practice Kokusai Goju Kai Karate, this is fantastic because it is the most traditional form of Karate from Okinawa. There’s heaps to learn and practice. The leader of the style in Australia is Hanshi Tino Ceberano (Recently awarded his 9th Dan) and most of the club leaders have very traditional values, meaning you really need to work to get the grades, the’re not just handed out, and don’t be afraid to be hurt either because it happens alot in Karate, (especially at my club).

Muay Thai Kickboxing. It is tough and gets you the fittest. I’ve also done Tae Kwon Do for 6 years, but prefer Muay Thai.
Since, it is what my black belt is in, I must reccomend Hapkido. If I was to study a different martial art it would be Aikido, Capoeira or Krav Maga. Aikido and Capoeira are both beautiful and powerful styles. Krav Maga is just nasty sh!t and would be a kick in the shorts to learn.
Thanks guys, Since asking this question, I surveyed my options and locally there is almost nothing but Karate instructors for kids (Seinfeld anyone?) but 40 minutes away there is a highly rated martial arts center that does jiu jitsu. I think that’s my best option.
I am all for Shaolin-Do karate, but I am a bit biased. I believe that if you want higher kicks, do Taekwon-Do. Judo for ground fighting. Shaolin-Do for being awesome. cough If you don’t want to go all out right now, try simple Tai-chi or kickboxing, though these are parts of most forms of karate and kung fu.
