Am considering going into martial arts but don’t know anything about the different types. What’s a good resource, preferably not saturated with fascists, to learn from? Want to learn some boxing, jujitsu, and wrestling for starters but where should I start?

1. Any non-right-wing/leftist martial arts trainers of any kind in Victoria, BC?

2. Should a person choose the right MA for their body type? If yes, what’s best for a lean 6’2” dude with lots of endurance but less of the explosive fast-twitch muscles? I’m not weak, but I’m not ripped and bulky. I gain muscle easily when I work out/train. I’m a distance runner (non-competitive) who runs about 30K a week right now. I’m 190 lbs and I’m almost 50. Oh, and I have LONG legs and arms.

I’ve been thinking of checking out taekwondo and kickboxing. But what I’m most interested in is how to defend myself (and my family) against fascists as our world descends further into fascism. So I don’t plan to compete (unless that helped me improve) and don’t care what’s popular with other toxic masculinity bros out there. I want practical self-defense/survival training that my body is suited to.

Hispanic trans girl going back to school in Platteville, and trying to get back into training. Been struggling to find things nearby.

Ideally Judo, BJJ or Aikido since those are my background - but open to anything.
