I’d really like to boxing or karate or something like that.
Have any suggestions?
I’m 6ft (185 cm) tall. Not too flexible, I can only reach halfway down my shins. And I can really only put in an hour a day max.
Oh, and I don’t want to spend my family fortune on it.
Any help from people in combat sports right now would be greatly appreciated…with points!

taekwondo is a great martial art for sport tournaments. you’ll become flexible and very fast if you keep training. price ranges are about 30-100 dollars. itll depend on the school. keep in mind there are different styles of taekwondo. olympic style is more sport and then there is the traditional style. just look through your area for some schools you like.
My advice is to visit your local martial arts schools, ask to take a trial lesson or two and then decide which one you like best. No one can tell you what martial art style or sport to take. If they do, they are probably going to be biased anyways and tell them to take whatever style they are in. The one that is best for you is the one that you will enjoy. If you are looking to compete/fight then focus toward karate, taekwondo or kickboxing.
I’m a little taller than you and recently got into Muay Thai. I love it, but it’s not for everyone. Work on improving your flexibility as it will benefit your overall fitness. I would agree with the person above in suggesting you visit several dojos. More than discovering the right style you want to find an instructor you get a good vibe from. Check out this website; I found it imformative.
doing combat sports an hour a day wont get you nowhere, for that you need AT LEAST 2-3 hours+ extra training if you want to be good
but to answer your question id say wrestling or boxing
if you realy dont have time then do karate or TKD
I am an Isshinryu karateka, and if the class is taught correctly, you do not to be overly flexible to succeed. Goju-ryu or Uechi-ryu are also good options for someone not so flexible.
However, I would stay away from any “Shuri” derived styles. (Shorinryu, It’s Japanese version-Shotokan, or it’s Korean versions- Tae Kwon Do and Tang Soo Do) These style require flexibility, and may be a good challenge, won’t necessarily give you what you need as quickly as the “Naha” derived styles. Isshinryu is actually both Naha and Shuri.
Here are some videos: Goju’s Seienchin Kata
Isshinryu’s Sanchin Kata &
Uechi-ryu’s Sanseiryu
As you can see, these three styles work well for students of any age.
Thai Kwon Leap. AKA boot to the head.
Combat sports, in my opinion, are not worth your time. train in a true combat art used for actualy fighitng whereverything is real, and you can get hit in spots you coudlnt in a sport, and it will benefit you much more.
you should take muay thai
