join the phillapines police force. they do martial arts as basic training now.
Personally I like american football (I'm 217lbs or 17st 12) and It's a raelly good sport once you understand the rules (simple once you know them... kinda logical when you look back)
If you just want to get fit, http://www.armyfit.mod.uk/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fGetStarted.aspx is a get fit quick training session, and includes a week by week training program for even the lazyest of people (like me)
I've been doing it for a few weeks now, and am much fitter. But I've also lost 2 stone (in four months :D ) from eating a lot less aswell

Muay Thai....Thai Boxing.
Tried others a little, Nothing like it.
Its a true fighting art, not for points scoring, but for hurting. Competitions are like boxing, a knockout being the goal.
Damned hard work, but find a good teacher and watch the pounds fall away(as well as twisted joints, acheing muscles and missing teeth.....lol)
Most important thing Id say tho, is find a gym/class/dojo whatever you choose, where you feel comfortable.
I went to a Taekwondo class years ago, and felt very out of place. The Muay thay gym I attend feels like family. The owner has vast experience, his wife is an ex world title belt holder, and feels like a second home, even if Ive not been for ages.
Above all, try a few, and find the place that makes you feel comfortable, in an environment where you dont mind feeling weak/daft/hurt. They are all gonna happen.
Most places let you try a first lesson free, so try em all.
Good luck
Rolla.
Ps Muay Thai is by far the best, and the Wicker Camp in Sheffield the place to do it!! :wink:
Bulli:
nothing quite like using your elbow or landing a strong leg kick :wink:
