    Hey everyone,
    I'm looking through local listings and am very interested in starting up martial arts, but I can't decide which one I should try! :( I'm a healthy, fit college student and a practitioner of capoeira. I'm looking for an MA that includes plenty of sparring, because I really want to explore the sport-esque action of sparring. I initially wanted to do Muay Thai, but there aren't any schools near me so I need to find something else. I also want one that is very athletic, and requires a good amount of fitness and agility.

    My options:
    Judo
    Tae Kwon Do
    Kenpo Jiu-Jitsu
    Hapkido
    Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
    Aikido
    Shootfighting
    Jeet Kune Do
    Kali
    one more school which didn't list a style...another website says it's a kajukenbo school, but its belt testing contains stances from muay thai? (not so sure, here's its URL if anyone cares )

    Thanks everyone, I look forward to hearing your feedback! :D
