Thinking about getting back into Martial Arts. Should I do Tae Kwon Do or Kickboxing?

[UpAndComing]

I did Tae Kwon Do when was a teen. Thinking of getting back into Martial Arts

I have surveyed all the Martial Arts and have narrowed it down to these two. Which do you think would be better to take up?

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

In before someone says 36 in a karate class, and I realize how bad that line aged..

Hell yea 36 and staying in shape

 

[Mowgli]

Mma Bjj or Tae bo

You either gonna take something that can be applied to real life or go get your cardio kickboxing on

 

[Uchiha God]

You 36 in a karate class? You tae bo hoe

But personally I’d do Wing Chun for the hand defense and BJJ for grappling and ground techniques since I already did light boxing training and know enough to shadowbox on my own. Extra points if I can find a Kalari instructor but that’s a rarity.

Between your choices prolly better to do Kickboxing since you already have some Tae Kwon Do experience.

I don't know what it is, but I'm not a fan of grappling on the floor and see it as unnecessary to learn. Am I wrong?

Kickboxing/Muay thai Gym where u need to be at.


Maybe even a MMA gym too

You ever fight a wrestler? Stamina through the roof and a better understanding of body mechanics. I started out as a kickboxer and then transitioned to wrestling. I wish I had started as a wrestler breh.

I'm a fan of Martial Arts that emphasize footwork and movement, and Wrestling and other grappling really does not which turns me off

Do you have some advantages when you Wrestle going into Kickboxing first because of the footwork advantage?

 

[Givethanks]

Kickboxing, it'll get you in great shape (all martial arts will).

TKD, is cool too. I heard it's a leg killer.

My ass wants to do Karate again, I'll be safe for 5 years. Once I hit 36 I'd gotta quit tho.

 

[BandOfGypsys]

Kickboxing and it ain't even close, other options could be

Boxing
BJJ
Wrestling
Judo
Muay Thai
MMA

The grappling will beat your body up more tho.
