As far as Karate styles, just join a dojo. If you like it, don't worry about style. You'll just get confused. You'll still learn self defense.
I thought about Aikido, but I know very little about that martial art. I know it's more like throwing your opponent using his strenght against him and such.

I prefer more "fighting martial arts" with kicks, punches and such, where you need to be strong and work hard, so I keep my shape up until I'm going back to norway again. If you understand my point : p

But in Japan, if you join a dojo for instance, how many days each week do you need to practice with the club/dojo? In Norway it's usually 3 days a week, is it more in japan?
