You'll have to look around at what is available where you are and pick the one that suits you best. I also recommend choosing a school instead of a style. Styles (or "arts") are only as good as the people who do them, and "karate" at Dojo A may look nothing like the "karate" at Dojo B.

Look for a place that you'll feel good about spending a few hours a week for several years (that includes the people there - some people are no fun to train with). You want to join a school where you see lots of people moving how you want to move. If there's just one awesome guy there and everyone else sucks, you can guess the level of instruction is poor.
