Muiy thai vs. Boxing????

[JUDO Novice]

I've been doing Judo for 4 months now, and I wrestled for four years in High school. The reason I'm looking into these two arts are because I think they are one of the most effective striking arts.

My Judo club is located right next to a boxing Gym, and there is a Muiy thai school a couple of blocks away from the Gym. I just wanted to know how long you guys that trained in boxing or muiy thia waited before you started sparring. And Which one do you think is more effective between the two.

depends if you like kicking..


if you do i'd go with muay thai.. then when you get more into punching join boxing..

it depends how your teacher trains...

my muay thai teacher is from thailand and he used to fight.. he has pics of himself fighting in the late 70's and 80's started in the 60's ..

he's straight from that muffuqa.. so he knows his muay thai.. nothing second hand about my teachers techniques.. all authentic..

find out if your teacher is a good teacher if not go for the boxing..
