Smile What type of martial arts is good for complete beginners?

I'm a very active male who would like to get into martial arts for the added flexibility and conditioning. Any suggestions?

My personal favorite is Shodokun. Very quick based weight control moves. Fun and practical if taught well.

Depends what you're interested in. I have always completed some sort of boxing training, generally pretty basic and the fitness side of things is great for conditioning.

Find a place that teaches MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) You get a complete workout and gain skills that are actually useful if you need to protect yourself.

That about sums it up! What are you looking for?

There are all sorts of arts out there. If you just want exercise then that's much different than some arts which are more serious for actual self defense.
