Don't laugh. lol

Seriously, I really want to learn a martial art. I'm not a violent person, but I want to be able to defend myself to a certain degree, and I'm also very interesting in learning to discipline myself and keep myself in shape. I don't seem to be very good at doing it of my own volition, so I'm hoping that learning Karate will help.

I've done some online research and spoken to a friend of mine (who is a something-or-other-belt at Karate and Jujitsu) and he says it's a great idea...

I'm going to phone up the nearest school and find out what's involved...

Wish me luck. :P

Anybody got any advice or anything? I'm 20, a bit out of shape, have never learnt any fighting style before, and have a problem with discipline... Am I doomed from the start?
