It entirely depends on what you want from a martial art. Do you want to defend yourself, or do you want to *cough* "kick arse"? Do you want something which teaches you respect and peace, or something with a looser attitude?

Do you want an art which relies on your physical strength, your speed, your balance, or your intelligence? Do you want an art which looks flashy, or one which involves a lot of acrobatics? Do you want one which will get you fit, or one which will require a high level of fitness and flexibility from the start?
