Kajukenbo, First step is always the hardest?

Question

If you have been reading my other questions related to KJKB you would have noticed that I really do want to join a KJKB dojo and rip myself apart with the training BUT I have one issue standing in my way! The last time I trained in any sports was 4 YEARS AGO, I am about 5"8" and I weigh 70KK, so basically I am a thin guy who is not JUST THIN but has zero strength,zero durability,zero dexterity and etc... some of my close relatives such as my Father advised me to get in shape first before I join the Dojo or even before I think about joining it! He wants me to train in weight lifting for a while and get myself an "athletic body appearance" before joining the KJKB.
             I used to practice Judo for 2 years (before the 4 years of training in Nothingness) and I know how painful or atleast exhausting it can be to be lifted and then thrown on the mat over and over again and I expect KJKB to a hundred times worse and I am afraid this might affect my studies as I am a university student (18 years old) with this current "physical appearance". I really dont know, should I join KJKB and cross my fingers? Or should I spend a 6m-1yr-2rs in a gym before I join KJKB?!

Thanks alot!

just go there, you will quickly get into shape, there is no need to join a gym and get in shape before hand, the hard training in a legitimate kajukenbo dojo will get you in shape quick.
just go, and remember to have fun! and don't stress it!
goodluck.

Ha, if anything is going to help then it's the KJKB! KJKB is one of those special styles that can be done by anyone. I think even if I broke one of my arms that I could still train in KJKB.
   I train in an American style that had close ties to KJKB called Kenpo Karate.
