Helo I have a daughter who does Muay Thai which teaches sticks and knives. Most people look at it as just kick boxing but it is much more if your instructor is well rounded. The one thing it does not do is teach ground fighting, like judo. So she is going to be taking Gracie jiu jitsu this winter. I figure we send our kids off to college they need to be as well rounded as possible. Alas she is still too young and were she lives is not collusive to guns. When that time comes I have some she will move up, until that time she will be training at home.
