shidokan ppl's views

[luke@york]

hi first post but iv been reading for a while

just jioned a local gym and in my monthly sub i can do any of the classes they put on, always fancied MA's but always wanted to do one which would be effective in a real 'street' situation or a 'you spilt my pint' situation LOL

been thinking about going to shidokan but wanted ppls views who are more learned than myself, my friend is a brown belt in TKD but we both know id still kick his ass LOL

been to a few TKD classes wi him but i cant see how it would work in a live situation its amazing to watch them sparring etc but most fights dont involve high flying kicks etc,

those ufc guys kick ass and thats kindas what im after but know one near me has that kinda club, would be doing it also for cardio to lose some weight as iv just started lifting again after 18 months off after a bike crash and well im....... 109kilos and just 5foot 9 DOH! (yeah too much comfort food)

any advice would be great

thanks for the repliws thought about boxing (did it a while back i was about 14 yo im 25 now) but my leg would not put up with the endless cardio they make you do, also would like to do something with ground fighting incorporated in to it which obviously rules out boxing might as well use my weight to SQUASH ppl other than the missus LOL, i realise MA will have an amount of cardio in it but the amount i remember boxing having would irritate my leg which was f*cked up in an accident i had, just wanted to hear ppls views who did it or new more about it than me as to whether its a good all round system that is effective in a real world situation not just in a competition where you cant do this or that, one of the main reasons i wanna do something like this is im scared so to speak of confrontation even tho im a big boy an all that and think this would give me more confidance i dont even like getting in to arguements for f*ck sake im a pussy luckily my size usually avoids me getting in to them BUT there will be a day when some little scroat with a big ego tries to push me all over and frankly at the moment id probally let him just so i dont have stand up to him
