Tae Kwon Do or Yoga for anger management? Which is most effective?

Question

I can sign up either for Tae Kwon Do or Yoga classes, but not both. Which is the best use of my time and efforts to conquer my anger?

Answer 1

yoga tae kwon do is for kicking ***

Answer 2

Either.

Answer 3

a punching bag in your basement

Answer 4

I would highly recommend Yoga because in TKD you basically release your anger in a violent manner. It sort of encourages you to release your frustration in a perverse sort of way. It's like encouraging the curbing of anger with the act of violence. Doesn't make sense at all to me.

On the other hand, Yoga reduces stress with its movements and breathing exercises. By reducing stress you naturally have a better hold over your anger issues.

Answer 5

Neither one of those will really help you conquer anger in the long run.  I suggest picking up The Bible and studying it.

Answer 6

Answer 7

well in yoga u'll be calmed and worry free but in Tae Kwon Do you'll take out on your anger in a really physical way...

Answer 8

Yoga.

Answer 9

It depends on your personality.  I have done Yoga and Tia Chi for a release and all I found was that because of the slow motion that though effective they really increased my energy level to bomb like proportions.

I took up karate-now Black Belt and teach-and this truly helped with controlling and releasing anger.  I have not found that this differs between the sexes either.  If you are angry and somewhat volatile I would suggest Martial arts over Yoga.  If more contemplative then vice versa.

Good luck and help yourself and find a way to let the anger go.

Answer 10

I would say Yoga ^ ^

Mental and Emotional Benefits:

By exercising control over breathing, you can learn to control the energy within the body, and ultimately gain full control over the mind. In yogic breathing exercises, the breath is seen as the important link between our physical and mental aspects. Pranayama cleanses an strengthens the physical body, but its most important benefit is for the mind.

Proper breathing soothes the nervous system; calms, steadies, and clears the mind; improves concentration, focuses attention, and increases the ability to deal with complex situations without suffering from stress.

In addition, proper breathing calms the emotions, increases emotional stability, helps with emotional control and equilibrium, reduces craving and desire, combats depression, helps in the relief of grief and sadness, puts you in touch with your inner self and gives you poise and serenity.
