Maybe you'd like Hapkido. I saw a class like that in my TaeKwonDo dojo. Grappling? Maybe you’d like Hapkido. I saw a class like that in my TaeKwonDo dojo.

Make a list of those that you find interesting, then go visit all of them before making a decision. List what you like about each and what you don't like. Find out about class schedules and fees. Talk to the instructor and learn the focus of the school. If it meets your needs go from there. Be careful of long term contracts, escalating rank fees and the requirement that all your uniform and gear purchases be made through the school. Do you "due diligence" and at least you'll go into a dojo with open eyes and few surprises. Go to the phone book and find out what’s available in your immediate area.

Visit the schools in your area and watch some of the classes and talk to the instructors and students. I would also visit each one twice just to make sure and don't cave in to making a snap decision to take advantage of some special offer. Make your decision based on what you are looking for and what school and instructor fits best-not necessarily the style. Once you get older and are more mobile and maybe even living on your own you may be able to then change where you live and pursue a particular martial art or style if you choose to.

BJJ will teach you how to survive on the ground. Why 1. Without these ground skills anyone with ground skills could take you down and pound. 2. With BJJ ground skills against a superior striker you can take him down and make his skills worthless. I am not here to dog other martial arts but karate, TKD , akido, kung fu etc.. will not do you any good. Judo or wrestling would be much better options than these. A cheap alternative is to join your high school wrestling team. Good Luck I would suggest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as the best option to start with then look to go to Muay Thai.

It is a decent mix of grapples and throws, as well as strikes. If you get good at it, you can make it somewhat flashy, what with the throwing people around and all. It also requires someone with agility and flexibility who can move and parry with an opponent. Hope this helps! Try Aikido.
