Boxing or muay thai?

[binski20]

Does anyone feel either art would be more advantagous to a short man? Just curious, seeing as I am a short man 5'4" lol.
I know the training and person make most of the difference, just curious as to everyone's thoughts technique and style wise.

Takedowns and hip throws?

Boxing is good know..

muay thai aint too tough to learn it's just the practice..

mixed with boxing is good .. add the elbows if you dont like kicking....

and the knees too.. wowsers.. that's a good thing..

For a short man, I'd recommend boxing, you'll be naturally better at that than muy thai.
You're just training for recreational purposes right, not for MMA competition?
But you should do whatever you like better. Even if you want to play basketball, you should do it because you want to, and not let the handicap of your height stop you from having a good time.

good boxing training is my no. 1 pic if you know bjj because in the clinch youre going to go for the takedown and not choose to stay standing.
