Hi, Let's break down the different options! Boxing : Great workout! Punches, pad combinations, body weight exercises , all of the above at a high pace! Kickboxing: You take boxing, and then you add kicks! The pace could be little less high, in order to properly learn the techniques Viet Vo Dao/ Traditional Martial Arts : Now, we're entering a whole new world, where the technique is really important. The history, philosophy and the energy work, the culture...and so on! Self defence : Learn how to defend yourself as well as your loved ones. The lesson here could be purely technical or technical with a fitness component. I hope this will help you choose! Have a good day!
