Any type of Martial Arts discipline is good because it can fit anyone, it's just in how you learn to adapt or change what you've learned to fit the situations that you may come up against.
I don't show any bias to any discipline because they all have a similar basis or technique to them, the thing about finding a Martial Arts school to attend is more about finding which class and which instructor will make you feel the most comfortable or at ease when training. and what kind of atmosphere the school has and how well the instructor(s) works with the students.
because you can't train well when you're always on edge and concerned about making a mistake.
Checking out a couple of the classes that you're interested in and seeing what kind of trial classes they have to see if you like it is a good start, and then go from there.
just watch out for schools that're "McDojo's" types of schools, and don't get into any place that has contracts that're 6months long or more, that's usually the biggest red flag, to let you know that it's likely a "mcDojo" school.

Any one you want.your only 14 have a go at a few.there's no such thing as which suits my body etc.get of your *** and stop asking questions on the net about it and ava go mate.and ninjutsu does exist but why would you wanna do somthing thats so slow that when they talk the voice doesn't actually come out for 5 minutes?(chinese and japenese martial arts movies).get of your *** boy or i'll tell your old man to kick you up it.
PS.if you think ninjutsu doesn't exist you dont know as much about martial arts as you thought.you have ninja stuck in your head not the art.

Forget ninjutsu! It's a dead art! Any such school who claim to teach such thing either are a fraud or simply teach samurai hands to hands art.
For your height and weight, Muay Thai is very good! You have a long reaches to your advantage and you're light. Many Muay Thai fighter aren't even 150 lbs and very slender. So check out Muay Thai.
Here's a highlight of a very good fighter who's 6" and around 145 lbs:

1) Ninjitsu does not exist now & probably never did.
2) any art that utilizes a lot of kicks will be good for you.
These include Tae Kwon Do, Tang So Do & northern Shaolin Boxing.

Try a couple until you are happy with what you are chosen.
I trained Karate, tkd and various others until I found capoeira and found that I was happy. Now I stick to capoeira. Its an awesome sport and also quite social so its good to work your body as its an all round workout and you make a lot of friends.

Ninjitsu is a joke, idk anything about Shaolin I study Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and you become very flexible after rolling and you need it I believe flexible people have a bigger advantage among others.
