i think i will sugest that u take up muay thai will be better .. Because muay thai is quite a new sport in singapore recently and is also an aggressive sport. It can also build up on ur physical fitness as well as ur muscles. :p

Hi Xiaoguang,
I think it depends on what u want in the sport.. If you take up Wing Chun, i think it shld be quite a unique sport.. And it is also a sport that doesnt require the user to even think about how he wanna attack.. Its a visualization of attack. very interesting..
Muay thai is a sport that tests quite alot on your physical and mental strengths. It is maybe quite agressive, but its all worth it if you love the sport. If u take up muay thai, make sure to stick to ur basics for as long and as much as possible. |

well xiaoguang, it all depends on what kind of martial arts you are looking at. Striking types like maybe taekwando or karate, grapple types such as BJJ or judo or maybe those submission holds like Aikido where lots of joint locks are involved.
It all comes down to which type suits and interest you. |

| Yep agreed. Learning martial arts is indeed a fun thing.(though sometimes very tiring) But please do not use it to beat others up for no reason. |
