I would like to know about flexability. Since I am 16, can I still be as flexible (like splits flexible)?
Any other suggestions you have for a begginer like me would help. Thanks.
BTW I live in Toronto Canada so if any of you know some good places for Thai Boxing I would appreciate it!

The best thing to do is to try both out! Give them both a bit of time and then come to your own conclusions.
It's like asking whether you prefer Coke or Pepsi. You need to try them both out (sometimes a few times) to be able to make a decision.
If you're interested in flexibility, you do not have to limit yourself to just Tae Kwon Do (I'm assuming one reason you want to take this up is to throw high kicks). Arts like Wushu, Yoga, gymnastics, capoeira all seem to emphasise a good deal of flexibility.
Have a look around and experiment! Then tell us what you think!
Good luck in your training!
