Muay Thai or BJJ?

I don't know if any of you saw my other topic on karate and taekwondo but i was trying to decide on them because i wasn't sure if i was able to go to the gym i wanted to but i went the other day and they said since I'm well built they'll accept me. But I don't know what to pick Muay Thai or BJJ(Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu)

BJJ. My cousin did it and he said he loves it.

Jee can't You check them both out and feel them? That is very very personal. Depends a lot on Your build, and i bet the training focusses on different things.
I don't see how we could answer something like that >.>

[QUOTE="KungfuKitten"] Owww You are going that direction. Well, if the styIe doesn't suit You, You won't be able to keep at it, trust me on that. And every fighting styIe teaches You to fight. It depends mostly on the school not the styIe. The best thing they teach You is to be familiar with close contact, so You will keep a cool head and respond accordingly in high stress situations.
If You are prone to get into fights, You will notice that by merely practicing a martial art You won't get into fights as easily. It's the whole attitude change.

Krav Maga.

Although you don't have the foundations to build basics, in this age and time, it's the most practical to learn and master. Application wise also, it's the most convenient(disarming opponents). Of course fighting against a Wing Chun master or so will get your ass kicked, but otherwise most petty thieves are common muggers and have no professional fighting experience(if they do you're out of luck). th3warr1or

muay thai for the win

although i like them both =]

depends on the fighting style you want.

Ok if You really want a second opinion i could only say: get the one which hits You the least on the head. May seem a little awkward thing to say, but it isn't very healthy to get hit in the head constantly, especially if You are a teenager Your brains won't like it much.

My personal reason for choosing my fighting styIe was that i am not build very tough nor flexible, and because the practicioners at this school were vile and evil but very friendly and understanding. Ruthless thinkers. The styIe really suited my character. Everything had to make sense. I was quite impressed with everything about them. I quit after a while though, and i'll warn You for this.
At some point You can feel like You shouldn't go anymore, and You don't understand why. That's the stressful situations actually getting through to Your mind. When that happens, ask them to take it a little easier on You for now and don't keep going if it keeps feeling bad, but accept it and DO come back when You think You can. It'll be less bad than You think in Your mind. Almost everyone goes through this and most give up, but it's a shame.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu sounds cooler.

You aren't supposed to capitalize any letter in the word "you".

Punctuation goes inside quotation marks.

Then you want Krav Maga. The entire point is to defend yourself in street fights. Brutal, no rules self defense.

why do i have a feeling that the TC saw a trailer for that new movie Fighting and is now interested in street fighting?? anyway id go with Muay Thai if your more interested in self-defense. i plan on taking classing for it this summer.Blitz_Nemesis

Good luck then. Anything except Karate will help you in a street fight. But, if that is the direction you're going, take boxing. In a real streetfight ANYTHING can happen. The man who gets the first punch to the face, almost always wins. So, if you want to streetfight, train in boxing and land that first hit before the other guy does. OR just carry a knife around. In real life just don't put yourself in a position to get into a fight. The guy could VERY easily be carrying a knife, or a pipe. In which he does, you're flat out screwed. Anyway, my opinion is boxing. It has helped me out in brawls and it is a very good close combat technique if you just aim for the neck.

I still say boxing. IF it is between Muay Thai or Brazilian Jujistsu, then it depends on you build and body type. So, try both. Why not, right?

Muay Thai for the win!

Muay Thai, I used to do it, it was hard, painful, being kicked in the shins sure did hurt!
