Radok Posted September 14, 2002 Posted September 14, 2002 muay tai has a faster pay off, so a muay tai practitioner of 6 months would beat a Karate practitioner of 6 months, but after that time in Karate you've learned the basic stances, blocks, and attacks so you start working on stuff like arm bars and hip throws and things, so a Karate practitioner of 2 years would have a big advantage over a muay tai practitioner of 2 years, because Karate is a more complete art. So it depends on if you need the art for a short term or long term basis. If you have the time and dedication I would say and Okinawan Karate would be the best style for self-defence. (see sig.) If you can't laugh at yourself, there's no point. No point in what, you might ask? there's just no point.Many people seem to take Karate to get a Black Belt, rather than getting a Black Belt to learn Karate.
muaythaidm Posted September 14, 2002 Posted September 14, 2002 Muay Thai would have a quick payoff, and it would be good for self defense. I recomend Muay Thai. You might also want to take some sort of grappling art incase the fight goes to the ground.
Kyle-san Posted September 14, 2002 Posted September 14, 2002 Wing Chun has a very quick payoff, from what I've seen anyway.
Red J Posted September 15, 2002 Posted September 15, 2002 My advice, give it a shot. The best martial art is the one that works for you. If you don't care for it try something else. The way to learn is get out there and train...Let us know what you do. Just remember nothing comes quick! To be successful in any MA takes commitment. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
SBN Doug Posted September 16, 2002 Posted September 16, 2002 I assume your relatively young? Take the Muay Thai for the quick return now, IF you HAVE to have a quick return. There are plenty of choices that you can take up that will allow you to continue training until a much later stage in life. But you've got time to investigate those later.

BlackI Posted September 18, 2002 Posted September 18, 2002 There are many systems that can make you a better fighter Muay Thai being one of them. IF you have an interest in Muay Thai you should definetly explore it. Check out a few schools and sit in on a few classes. Also, make sure you are inline with the head instructor's philosophy.

sk0t Posted September 18, 2002 Posted September 18, 2002 If you have an interest in fighting and self-defense maybe you should just get a gun or something...because there are no quick payoffs... sk0t"I shall not be judged by what style I know, but how I apply that style againsts yours..."
Xtreme Fury Posted September 19, 2002 Posted September 19, 2002 Muay thai is good if there's one available around your area. I think you can learn to use it somewhat well within 6 months, even if it takes years to get really good at it.
