A friend of mine mentioned she was going to try a San Shou class and I have no idea what that is. Does it focus on kicking or punching or both? Is it a traditional or sport martial art? Also is it very effective in a self defence situation? I know I ask too many questions hehe

Hi everyone, I decided a while ago I wanted to take on a martial art for fitness, fun and obviously to defend myself aswell. I decided on wing chun kung fu, but then I found a local capoeira class and that looks like a lot of fun (don't know how good it is for actual self defence though!) I couldn't decide which I wanted more, so now I'm thinking I'll do both. Is this wise for a complete beginner? Do you think it may be too confusing? Also, how similar are the two?
