    Personally, I did kyokushin karate for like 3 years.
    This. I did karate when I was younger but my brother lost interest and I stopped going because of it. Would like to get involved again though!

    There are other things to consider when it comes to learning martial arts such as

    • Your budget.
    • Your physical limitations
    • Your cultural interests.
    • The effectiveness of the martial art as well.
    • When to join
    • Whether or not the teaching style suits your personality.
    • The teacher's qualifications.
    • Amount of time dedicated to your training

    I don't think even half of the people where I practiced karate had a particular interest in japanese culture. The effectiveness is not that important if you do it for exercise. I wouldn't care about when I joined either, The only time it would matter was if it was like a month before a new semester or something.

    I don't really feel that these are points that are specific to learning martial arts.

    I once got punched in the face for barging into a dojo, waving at the master, and saying, "Hi, ya!"

    I took a semester of Tang Soo Do in College. I remember a lot of push ups.

    Really, it was like getting in a car accident every Friday. Training is harrrrrrrrd.
