Kyokushin is tough stuff.  I like the speed, and reality of the fight.  Kickboxing is good too, but you train within a much smaller rule book.  \n\nAlso, Kyokushin fighters take better care of one another, in general.  You also see this with Koshiki, and other Karate full contacts.  \n\nTry both, if its affordable to do so.  But, I beleive your heart will be in Kyokushin after the experiment.  \n\nTSDofLA\nhttp://www.tsdofla.com

correct that's why in Australia zen do kai was formed its freestyle fighting that is "street"  and freestyle is now the biggest  fight tournament around being th ufc. Which proved that doing 3 turns before a strike got your head knocked off. good bye karate

I don't know if it's the same, but I take taekwondo and i read somewhere it takes about 2.5 years to get from white belt to black. Kickboxing probably has different belt colors, but our school goes: White, Yellow, Green, High green, Blue, high Blue, red, and then i think sometimes there is a high red in between, and finally black.  There was a sign hanging in our school:" A Black belt is just a White Belt that doesn't give up." Kind of inspiring.  Good luck!

If you're main goal is to get in shape kickboxing is the best option for you.  The training they'll put you through is awesome for physical conditioning. A good kickboxing gym, no matter what style, will have you do a lot of work shadowboxing, hitting bags, catch pads, and sparring.  Most gyms won't require you to spar if you're not interested, but if it is an issue for you should check first.  You should also check the reputation of the gym.  Do they push their fighters into pro fights before they're ready to make a quick buck, or do they take the time to develop quality fighters that win fights for the gym?\nYou're long legs will also help you with kickboxing.  They'll give the same advantage a boxer with a longer reach has in the ring.

Whoever's bigger and trains harder.  \nBut those being equal, I'd have to go with Kung Fu, just because a boxer is not used to gaurding low or blocking kicks of any kind.

Karate (lit. "empty hand") is a martial art of Ryūkyūan origin. The word "karate" comes from kara (空:から), meaning empty, and te (手:て) meaning hand. Karate has a rich and diverse history of development, incorporating countless influences from other martial arts and cultures. Today, karate is known primarily as a hard style striking art, featuring linear punches, blocks, kicks, knee/elbow strikes and open handed techniques. However, soft style punches and blocks, grappling, joint manipulations, locks, restraints, throws, and vital point striking are often an inherent part of many karate styles.\n\nAnd That's My Best Answer!

Hopefully you'll find someone more knowledgeable than myself, but in case you don't:  Kung-fu is the most varied and most difficult style to learn, and probably the most successful from an offensive point of view.\n\nAikido is a martial art that relies on flips and twists and might be considered the most successful from a defensive point of view.\n\nTae Kwan Do is basically glorified kick-boxing.  Not very advanced, but a good way to exercise.\n\nThis is the extent of my foolish knowledge.  The ancient masters are probably crying in despair now.

A style of Karate started by Gichin Funakoshi back before world war 2. He was the first to take Karate off of Okinawa and main stream it.\nWe have Karate in all styles all over the world because of him.\nI have read that Shotokan was the name of his garden and his students named the style after it to honor him. (while he was still alive)

Muay Thai because its the funnest to watch,  you can knock people out with elbows, feet, knees, hands, shins, i've even seen people get kicked with the heel of a foot and go to sleep.\nor Ju Jitsu because its smart, its the perfect way to neutralize someone who is a better striker then you.

umm thats a hard one but which is the hardest one is soccer. soccer is more competative then dance. yeah dance is more fun and stuff u have a great time. But soccer you run out a breath and its more active. so i'd say that soccer is more harder.

Take MMA.  Which is a mix of different martial arts.  I have taken boxing,judo, karate, jui-jitsu and shootfighting.  Now I go to an MMA school.  It is the best I have taken.  It mixed all of them together.

Muaythai is a tough sport.  The knockdowns and KOs seem to be less than in boxing but the careers are shorter.  The guys who do it tend to be kids from the countryside, who dedicate most of their teens to this sport.  The ritual and feeling of a muaythai match is fun to see and I really think regular boxing tends to be more dangerous.  Me, I'll watch, too damn old to get hit!
