Hi, I am 16 years old, 5'7 140 lbs.

I would like to start a martial art, but I am still not sure what I like the best about MA : fighting or tricksters.

Therefore, I do not want to start MMA, nor gymnastic.

I want to get a base about fighting, and then I can choose whether I like the flipping and big kicking part of martial arts, or the fighting (MMA, muay thai, etc.).

The thing is, I don't know which MA to start with...

I was thinking real TKD, so that I could see if I like kicking and I could do real fights (not only point fights), is that a good idea?

Maybe Ninjutsu? The thing is, I want a martial art that touches a bit of everything (kata, spar, athletic abilities, etc.)

Thank you.

What interests you the most about martial arts, fighting or "tricking"?

KID, start with a system that teaches good fundamentals...and "LEARN THEM"!
Boxing, Thai boxing, JKD, ju jitsu, & wing chun all teach good "aplication skills". Go for the fancy stuff after you`ve understood speed & timming, strength & power, skill & form. "learn to crawl before you run"
