I've recently gone from stupidly thin to less thin and have actually put some muscles on myself for the first time. Woo. Yay. Etc.

However as a result I don't feel like i'm as flexible and supples as i used to be and so would like to start doing some form of Martial Art. I remember doing karate when i was about 8 and quite easily being able to kick above my head, that's the level of flexibility I'd like back again. :D

Anyone got any recommendations? One which can later on involve weapons would be a bonus.
 
Cheers for the recommendations guys, I'm thinking it's going to be a choice between Ju Jitsu or Karate. I'm currently leaning towards Ju Jitsu as I've never tried it, whereas Karate I've done before so I have it as a back up option if all else fails :)

I may be wrong as I've not done Karate for years, but I don't remember any weapons in it at all (in fact, if I remember, Karate translates as "empty hand").

It does indeed, but I remember when I used to do it they had a weapons class 1 night per week. Not sure if it fell under Karate or not but I do remember my friend (at 8 years old) being a bit handy with a pair of nunchucks :eek:
 
Bleh I can't find any of your post Mr Jedi, I think they must have been archived. :(

To save your typing fingers I'll have a scoot round the internet and then come back with any very specific easy and quick to answer questions. :D
 
Thanks again for al the advice guys. I'm nor trying to find either a kungfu or jujitsu club in my area, anyone know of any good ways to find one bar the phone book?

Also the weapons thing, I have no desire to use them in public I assure you. :p
