Boxing or tae kwan do?
Hey all! Dh and I are moving from Austin to this little small town about an hour outside Dallas. I've been taking Krav Maga since July and really enjoy it and want to continue some sort of combat/martial arts training when we move. There are no Krav training centers near where we're moving to. Nearby there appears to be 2 Tae Kwan Do dojos and a boxing gym.
Neither discipline seems to have as much as a practical aspect as KM, but I'm leaning towards boxing because I've kind of gotten used to the aggressive atmosphere in KM and getting beat on, thrown on the ground, and generally knocked around. (and getting to do this to other folks too of course!) In my very limited knowledge of TKD, it doesn't seem to have this aspect.
Is one or the other of these disciplines more effective for self-defense than the other? Is one a better workout than the other? I know basically nothing about either one. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks!
