??? asked:
I am 15 years old 6′4 and 180 lbs at about 9-10% bodyfat. I have wrestled for 3 years but lately I’ve been feeling the need to pursue martial arts. What style should I take lessons for? Karate, Tkd, mma, boxing, bjj? What type do you think would suit me the best?

Probably boxing. Mix that into your wrestling and you should be fine. You’d have a base for MMA. I’m assuming that you’d have a pretty good reach.
Ask yourself what you want to do in next 5 years . Do want have broken nose , eye brows , missing teeth ? Choose boxing or similar . If you want to be healthy , slim and fit , I would recommend Tae Kwon Do . Tae Kwon Do is easy and lot of fun . Make sure your sabumnim (master) is certified by *** or ITF and best if is Korean . Do no sign any contract before you are sure you like this academy , class, master . Good Luck .
hey i think you should take up Taekwondo, i started about over a year ago and still having fun and also i have a grading in november.
Make sure your instructor is a good one, and i would suggest a grading examiner aswell because they no what to look for in a grading lol
ok, wow i love ur guys respect for boxing… as a wrestler ur proably gona do good in bjj, bc it gona be mostly on the ground there are takedowns and throws, and u dont have to wory about falling on ur back, ur tall and slim at 180 so boxing would be good but its not for everyone, bc u got to be willing to get hit, and some guys dont like that, kickboxing or muay thai would be also things u might look into, TKD is great but its not for everyone most wrestler i know dont like TKD, i got nothing for or against it the best thing to do is try each one out and see which one u like,
