Nah, you can take karate at any time. If ya eat right, that in itself should trim you up.

I'm in Tang Soo Do and we actually have a few overweight blackbelts that could easily drop you at any time. Weight is definitely not an issue.. it may be in other styles, but I know 100% it doesn't matter one bit in Tang Soo Do.

It's just like with anything else though - you're training. You won't be able to kick above your head your first 6 months, but after 3 years (which is how long it takes to get a black belt), you'll be doin just that without even thinking.
