What's better? - 07-11-2005, 08:22 PM

I'm thinking about starting learning martial arts, but I still can't decide which. What's better, muay thai or kick boxing?




I wanna learn, learn and learn!!!

yeah, i always thought muay thai was a form of kickboxing.

anyway, take it up if you want to, its cool. there's a guy whose been doing muay thai for so long, that you an break a baseball bat against his shins.

go up to any person that's been doing muay thai for a long time, and kick them in the shins. youll see. when a body part, like your fist or your SHIN hits something, the bone gets stronger. by the use of CALCIUM! sure you're gonna have some freaky ass super bones, but theyll be strong as hell.

well i dont know...do whatever you want. I take taekwondo and it's so good for you and stuff but im not really sure about kickboxing, because its pretty intense getting hit in the face or anything like that. taekwondo is like..using ur hands and feet to trip, kick, punch and use a lot of power moves/




Although I'm not great at popping; I love it.

I finally took my first kick boxing class!! My muscles hurt as hell, and the skin under my foot went away, so it hurts when I walk, but I liked my first class.

kickboxing... its so revered in THAILAND muay THAI. good on us. no really muay thai will get you really strong, but i'd use capoeira as an excuse to learn flares and headspins.




Thank you for everything.
