what kinda martial arts techniques are u guys into?
i think i'm interested in muay thai, as i'd like to focus mostly on punching and kicking, keeping it simple.

I came to my own conclusion a couple of years ago that it would probably be good for me to take up marital arts for both my autism and dyspraxia. But procrastination has won out so far.

yeah me too, it's just another one of those things that sits at the back of your mind.
procrastination often gets the better of me.

Oh, EzraS, you are at the perfect age to study a martial art. It could become a great way to have something you could trust will always be there for you. In my case, my study of Taekwondo was like chess more than the sparring.

Visit a few training centers and choose the one you like most. Look into it again. :)
