karatekid1975 Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 I thought Shotokan had full contact? G95 can clear that up. Anyways, if you want full contact, go for Muay Thai if there is a school that teaches it around your area. Some TKD schools are full contact (mine included), but most aren't. BJJ from what I understand/read is full contact grappling. Kickboxing is, also. I'd pick a hybrid style just because some hybrid styles mix in several different things (like my school teaches grappling with TKD and Kali). You would get more of a "well rounded" MA in one place Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aefibird Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Shotokan does have full contact; I have the 'battle scars' to prove it! "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."

italian_guy Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 If you like a striking art Kickboxing will do. Of course it has full contact sparring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantisWarrior Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 i would say if you can go with tai chi and kickboxing. tai chi is a good martial art to mix with another art. Fighting out of hate brings only disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
