do both, then see what one you like. mma!!! nobody said they wanted to play touch-butt, he said BOXING AND KICKBOXING!! elite striking, not second rated striking!!

Answer 3

Try MMA it includes all that plus more.

Answer 4

i do boxing......I guess both are pretty rough but boxing is mass oriented , but for both you need a good coach

Answer 5

Im a boxing fan so i say boxing. But i agree with above, check it out first. ESPECIALLY the coaching. I think that coaching has a lot to do with becoming a good and smart fighter. Good luck and i know its not much but for starters thats my advice.

Answer 6

I believe you need to have more pain tolerance for kickboxing, its like bone to bone fighting, and you need to have very strong legs, bone and muscle to bring out kicking power like mui thai, yet you have to be able to tolerate the pain even if you are offensive.  You may know which one is better for you after physically participate the training.

Boxing is more beautiful, however, when being involved in real street fighting for defensive, probably with kickboxing practice it may help you more.

Answer 7

Check them both out, and find out if you like the facilities, staff, workout, hours and anything else you might find relevant.

Remember, it is important that you are comfortable with the folks trying to hit you.
