bmw323iswiss Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I am a former Brown belt Isshin Ryu karate student and I havent practiced in 3 years. Baseball got hectic and scholarships for college were calling. I had an unfortunate injury but now I am back....without any scholarships or baseball. I would really like to get into a competitive form of fighting and Muay Thai is so interesting, but I cannot find any schools near me in Galveston TX. Should I possibly look into kickboxing? Or something else? I want to be a physically tuned machine and push myself to the limits and I think something like this would help. Any suggestions?

Jerry Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Howzit bmw323iswiss, I am a kickboxer and would therefore, obviously, suggest you considder kickboxing. I find it to be a very active sport and if you are mentally tuned to become a "physically tuned machine and push myself to the limits" you will surely become this. It does not matter what type of MA you practice, it has a lot to do with your mental state. I enjoy KB and therefore I do it. Some others might suggest other MA's, but in the end it is what you prefer. Good luck and enjoy!!

pineapple Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Any good kickboxing instructor WILL push you to the limits! I'm sure that if you look hard enough, you'll find someone near enough to you. DO IT! What works works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kickbox Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Try joining a boxing gym. The boxers have been applying their craft longer than the kickboxers and Muay Thai in the US. And if you are real tuff go to the African American section of town and join a boxing club. I tried that in Willimington NC and found out that no less that the great champion Joe Lewis had been a member there for years! You'll gain respect for just showing up. Enduring is up to you.

aefibird Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 If you can't find MT, then kyokushin might be a good alternative for you if you don't discover a good KB instructor.
