    I have finally found some martial arts clubs in my locality and would like the opinion of some other practitioners. The first club trains at Wado Ryu Karate and the secong trains at Kenpo Karate.
    Bearing in mind that I do not train in order to learn to beat people up, I merely train to keep fit and maintain flexibilty, which style of karate would you recommend?

    All suggestions and input welcome.

    both are good styles

    i trained in wado and found it to be very good my fitness levels where high. Either style willteach you how to fight and keep fit that is the way it is. It will also depend on the instructors. I would try and find out more info about each club if i was you and maybe go up and watch each for a night and then make up your mind

    Thanks xzodia. I plan to visit each club to see how I would like it and then decide. At the moment I am leaning more towards the Wado Ryu Karate.

    Any other suggestions?

    Yup, for your purposes either style would do (although kenpo would normally be more aggressive, and wado-ryu more evasive) so the best thing for you to do would be to watch a few classes, take part in a few, then decide whether you prefer one style/club/instructor over the other.
