starting kickboxing

karate kid 1 · August 4, 2005

i wish to start kickboxing i also do karate im 8th kyu in karate do you reccomend this style

Reccomend which style?

Kickboxing could possibly compliment your karate, you may even end up enjoying kickboxing more that your previous styles.

I like Shotokan, and think it is a very worthy karate style, producing strong katateka. So, IMO, id personally stick with Shotokan.

Your only an 8th kyu, so theres still sooooo much more karate has to offer you.

Keep us informed on your decision.

Good luck.

Id go traditional-Thai if you can find a legit school.

Thats just my opinion though.

that's an opinion I'd agree with.

yea i have done a little of both and the thai places seem to be a little better.

Muay Thai definitely. American kickboxing is pretty tame.

well i wouldent go that far there still way more hard core than most styles but they do look a little bit soft compaired to good boxers/MT guys
