Hi, i'm 26 and i was wondering it it's too late for me to start learning martial arts. (I hope not). I was also wondering what form of martial arts you'll recommend for me, i'm 6 feet 2" and i weigh about 160 pounds. I'm good with my feet and hands because i play basketball. I think my hands are really fast though because when i involuntarily drop an object, sometimes i catch it before it hits the ground. I've thought about and i love judo but i don't know if i'm strong enough to be lifting and slamming people on the floor.

its never too late for anything, but dude, you go in there with that same mentality and you're gonna want to quit.
For the record, you are not good at anything related to fighting. Why? you just said so. You go to a gym to learn from people who are better than you and that can kick your ass in the blink of an eye.
How do I know? I went to a grappling class for the first time and got my ass handed to me. So don't tell us or them what you are good at, because they wont care.
