    I am 5.6 and two months ago I was 94lbs. Eating peanut butter, almond butter, all kinds of nuts helped to gain 4 pounds.

    Even as a very lean person, you can begin to practice some martial arts. I'm not saying it will be easy every minute, or that you won't have challenges . . . but the very best way to adopt and improve some set of abilities is to *get started*, and just chip away at the goals. Practicing a martial art is the very best way to understand what's needed, and identify areas you need to work on as your highest priorities in order to improve.

    I'm saying this as someone who practiced Chinese martial arts regularly for around 8 years, was the adviser (not instructor) to a University's Kung Fu Club, and whose late husband was a martial arts instructor. Most martial artists I've known - from the arts I studied and others - are nice people, helpful, want to see others succeed. If you don't find that at the first school you try, find another. They're out there.

    Best wishes!

    Ann said right. You can begin to practice MA even at your weight. The most important thing in it is a technique. I used to practice unarmed combat years ago and still now I haven't lost the ability of professional fighting 🙃
