Along the lines of this thread ... I am looking to pursue some martial art training in the first half of this next year ... and I really don't have any idea about what style to pursue. Local to me, there is a MMA place that I have heard great things about from several people. There is also a Karate place in town and a Taikwondo/Judo/Hapkido place. There is an Aikido/Kenpo place in the next town over that is not too far away.

For a true beginner (other than cardio DVDs of "kickboxing" have never done any martial art stuff) who is athletic but "old" (40) is there a style that would be best suited for me?

Thanks!
