People tend to have different reasons as to why they want to train. Some want to do it for the exercise, others want it for the self-defense, and there are still those that want it for the discipline (mind, body soul aspect). I think you should consider what, if any or all of these, are your reasons and use that as your basis. Mainly for the discipline you would want to look for a well-rounded system and one that appears to be serious. For the other reasons you can just tell if that's what they are offering. Ask questions and as SP mentioned, see if there is a trial course to sample it out for yourself before investing in a long-term contract or committment. Also consider your abilities and your body functions. What will you be more comfortable working with... such as a kicking style like TKD, an all-around style like kickboxing or even a more calm meditative style like Tai Chi. Have fun with it no matter what you choose to do...
