My late wife did Ju-Jitsu she was a black belt passed at 16 .It seemed a more complete form of training and allowances can be made for infirmities.My 14 year old daughter caught the bug .Dont know why as she was only 11mths old when we lost her mum She made black belt by her 12 birthday but quit as she felt it wasnt taking her forward which in the youth circle I understood what she meant. The World Fereration in the UK is run from Liverpool .Without getting my self into a legal row .Money grabbing persons of doubtful parentage allegedly.

Most martial arts will help with all round fitness. I did Judo for many years. It builds strength, fitness, stanmina and subtlenessas well as self confidence. It can slao be practiced without the risk of injury or lost teeth. Unfortunately if you get the bug and start entering competitive events you find out quickly how painful some of the holding, throwing and submission techniquies can be. Done right you don't need a minuet to get a submission. These days I would need to seriously work on my general fitness before considering taking it up again. As said by Rolla though, find a gym/dojo where you feel welcome, this is probably more inmportant than the diciplin, especially if you are mainly looking to inmprove your fittness.
