Hey, how is it going?

I want to study a martial art, but I am not sure what to choose (in Bay Area California, there are A LOT of choices), and which is most suited for me.

I'm going to start with a description of me, both physical and mental. I don't know if it'll help you put me into a category, but I'll do it anyway.

I'm a mellow guy, and it takes a lot of piss me off. However, when I DO get pissed off, watch out, but by that I don't mean I'm gonna give you an ass kicking. I'm also a pusher... I push myself as far as I can go (sometimes, it seems, TOO far). I don't quit easily, and I just keep going. I'm also very coach able, I listen to what is said and I try to change my ways.

Physically, I'm pretty huge... 6' 3", and pretty strong (how strong? Yesterday a 165 pound friend of mine jumped me yesterday and tried to hold me down. I flipped him over like he was nothing). I'm also overweight (245), but I've slimmed down quite a bit due to exercise (used to be 265!). Oh… I almost forgot, I’m FLEXIBLE! I can bend my legs almost 180 degrees. Calf muscles in the front look kind of weird.

I wanted to learn ninjitsu (the martial arts Ninjas use), but I’m too old for that (have to be young). I want to do something with nanchakus (the two sticks attached by a chain), and the long Japanese staff.

Well, this post is getting pretty long, so I think I’ll wrap it up. Ask me questions if you need to. Thanks for your time. Have a good ‘un!
