| As for your asthema, I'd check with your doctor first to make sure you cold handle the workout. I don't think you'll have a problem, but it will depend on how bad your asthema is.
I've not really heard about the height/weight thing as to picking a style. That is very interesting though. As for styles of Karate, there are quite a few and I would not even try to list them for fear of leaving many out. My advice would be to search your local area and see what each school has to offer. Any good school is going to give you a free trial class and/or let you watch a class or 2 to see if you like it. To me, it's not really about a particular style but just the practice of martial arts. Many styles are very similar and often share many of the same techniques. I think it is more important to find a school that you like with instructors you like. If you like the school and instructors, you are more likely to attend class and do your best. You may also consider joining with a friend - this may help you push yourself a little harder, I am lucky that I started with my son but I have made a couple of good friends from my Tae Kwon Do class.
I know I didn't really answer your questions, but I hope I have helped to shed some light on your situation. Good luck in finding a school and welcome to our online community. |
