    Gareth asked for suggestions/advice, I provided my suggestion/advice for him, not to have a debate or some dick go on about which is better.

    Plenty of people in here suggesting which is better, but not me.

    I think Muay Thai is more practical than boxing - aren't I entitled to my opinion ?

    I could argue the same point and encourage you to shut up. Instead I'm politely telling you to fuck off by telling you to fuck off.

    Anyway this is wasting my bandwidth, I need to conserve it for porn.

    Hey Gareth…There are so many styles out there that you can go out and try. I think you got to go and find something you enjoy and if you put a lot into it, you will get a lot out.
    They key is to really enjoy it. I love the art and practiced it every day at some stage of my life. Was Provincial champion (Free State RSA) 4 times in Karate and all styles and came third on Nationals once. I was in a big accident 3 years ago..lost all flexibility in my arms and most of my muscles in my upper body. Can’t use my upper body at all anymore for fighting, just use my legs. I still manage to keep some black belts of me and am still very confident as a fighter. I still practice two nights..in a club or in my garage. My point is, you should get into it for the right reasons I think, and the rest will come itself.. no matter what style you choose.
    Don't you just love golf?

    my old man just put me on to the base auckland martial arts club (air force) and they have different people come and teach different arts on weekely basis so you can try them out so will give that a go after exams. This week is ninjitsu which i'm gonna go check out, probably end up getting my arse kicked by some fire fighters or something

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    100% agree with that statement...I found/find it far more practical than "straight" boxing and with a decent teacher with an openmind you'll have the boxing skills anyway. I mean there's nothing wrong with having extra options/ammo eh?

    In saying that....Gareth,it's all up to you mate but it does sound like Aikido would suit your requirements better. It's a beautiful art that I know you'd benefit from emensely.
    Best advice I could give it to go along and check a short list of art forms and choose from there.
    Best of luck

    the thing I find quite funny about this whole thread is that with gareths rather pasifist type nature...I think fighting is the wrong avenue to head down...I reckon get some new barter bullets and start jogging...oh...and learn to keep ya big mouth shut unless your trying to catch flys!

    Which is true...hence why Aikido would suit his disposition(sp) perfectly

    I think knitting would suit his disposition perfectly, and at least he'd have a couple of large needles to defend himself with if need be.

    im not 100% pascifist, but i'll leave fighting til the last resort, e.g i have to be in the right mood to smack someone hard, or just really pissed off.

    Aikaido from what i've seen is tai chi but with balls right? Basically using the force your opponent creates to defeat them?

    and is Muay Tahi the brazillian one thats the 'fighting dance' where they made it into a type of dancing because martial arts and fighting were outlawwed or something to that effect?
