dude you should do swimming.
just join your high school team, lift wieghts and do all the sprint events.
sprint swimming is purely physical and doesnt take that much stroke technique. And if your tall and kinda skinny you'll probobly be good at it too.
and usually high school teams are pretty tame compared to year round club teams so you should be able to do the practices. |

I would imagine American boxing wouldn't be as bad, my coach said the first day he went to boxing he was like 12 and he said they beat the living out of him, took out some teeth, he couldn't see, his whole face was swollen and his brows were so swollen he couldn't see a thing, his nose was broken to and the his coach told him that if he was meant to be a boxer then he would come the next day and said he expected him not to show up the next day, but my coach stuck it out and came back the next day, craziness, I think I should look for the mixed martial arts like the guy mentioned, maybe some place in my area |

Haha "doesn't take much stroke technique." You need to have excellent technique to do well in sprint swimming, as any minor up will cost you dearly. With endurance swimming however, you don't need to have absolutely perfect technique all the time, as you aren't going at 100% speed and will be able to make up for little mistakes during the race.
Anyways do swimming. The girls are (mostly) all fit, and there's generally more females than males, simply because of the whole speedo thing. You'll need to lift weights in addition to the swimming workout, but you need to do it for lengthy muscles instead of bulky muscles, that way you get stronger but stay light. Plus it works out your entire body, so if you decide to stop after a few months, you'll be (overall) more built and with less fat than before. |

True.
Really, technique is vital in any swimming - sprint to effectively put your power into the water, and endurance to be able to have the most efficient stroke possible. Getting perfect technique takes ages, literally years.
You can actually make up for a lack of strength by having awesome technique - I know I did - when I did improve my strength though, I got really good, you do need both |

| I don't know, I read this thing on the internet that said that even if you are in your early twenties you can still do gymnastics (not on an olympic level) but you will benefit from it physically a lot, lots of incredible upper body strength. My uncle was a gymnist so I'll hit him up and talk to him see what he thinks. That still leaves my itching niche for fighthing. I miss doing Russian Martial Arts it was great and I had talent so I kind of want to do that too. |
