Wait.. your uncle is 25 nigguh? who you bullshitting? Probably has medals for winning hot dog competitions, 200 medals my ass.

It's in the realm of possibilities if you start competing at a young age.

I did TWD for almost 5 years, so you should start with TWD for at least one year and then start doing Muay Thai.
I'm doing Muay Thai since 3 years now and due to TWD it was very easy for me to learn.
And dafuq is wrong with people saying TWD isn't useful and weak?
Have you ever been hit by a guy who did TWD for 5 years? LMAO
Yes I have the kicks are strong as **** but the dude didn't know how to throw a punch, that's why he started doing kickbox...

Well considering there's never been a Georgian WTF champion (from what I recall) or any Georgian competitor that comes even close to 200 medals in a life time, let alone 25 years is more than enough proof to me that this nigguh lying.

My Uncle is a WTF Georgian Taekwondo Champion
with over 200 medals and also did Karate ShotoKan.

My brother is also very good at Taekwondo, but none of them are with me for now. I asked my uncle if I should do Taekwondo on skype and he told me It is a bit too late for me since i am already 16 (he started when he was 9 and is now 25).
I have done taekwondo practice with him when we use to live together at home and enjoyed it.

Do you think I should go Taekwondo or Should I do Boxing(which will be easier to find),Kick Boxing. I was thinking of doing muay Thai but they are brutal and it is probably super hard to find a GOOD muay Thai place in England close to me.

What should I do?

never heard of your uncle of hotdog eating competition im sorry

He started when he was 9... he would need like 5 years to get to the top of his age group, that gives him 11 years and seeing as he learned more martial arts I don't see him having the time to win 200 medals in just taekwondo

He was the champion in taekwondo (his kicks were carzy as hell), and I'm pretty sure your punches are not that effectve against someone who is doing kickbox for 4 years...

Okay but then again I guess your kicks aren't that effective against someone who did TWD 5 years.
Also my punches are alot better now because as I mentioned, I do Muay Thai since 3 years now.

True but in a real fight you use more your punches than kicks and kickbox is more all around better than TWD

But it doesn't really matter cuz if he fight with a guy who does MMA we're screwed XD

-_- I am not sure you know what Georgia I am talking about. I am talking about the Georgia near Russia btw. Also my uncle started at age 9, and when I say medals, I mean all the medals he got since age 9 to 25. I do not care if you believe me, It won't change anything.Right now he is in Germany training :p

I do know that. But whatever, keep telling lies to make yourself feel better, I couldn't care less anymore if others want to believe this.

No I didn't mean just Taekwondo, I meant in Karate and Taekwondo. I must have phrased it wrong. Also In Georgia It is different, You start fighting after 2 weeks and start going into competitions(winning medals) he loved fighting and didn't concentrate on school what so ever, he trained after he got home every day. He just stood near a wall perfecting his kicks. He sparred with me, I have a video of it but I don't want to reveal my Face since I like to stay anonymous on the Internet.

This will be my last post regarding on if I am lying or not. I came here to ask what would be the best, not argue. If you would like to give your opinion on what would be the best go ahead, I want to go in tournament, and for self defense.

What should I do?

Go join Wolfslair, it's in Widnes. I did Taekwando and started when I was younger than 9, got my black belt and have done nothing with it since, it's honestly more of a form karate than a practical karate. It depends on the person, any martial art can be extremely effective or a joke depending on who does it. I would recommend kickboxing as it combines taekwondo and boxing. If you join a gym and get a sparring partner you can try some Muay Thai as well but besides training your neck clinch you can learn most of that through observation.

I live in Surrey m8 :p
I really liked taekwondo because it is beautiful, but i may go with Kick Boxing. Which one of those martial arts allow you to fight the quickest? I did Karate for 3 months and they didn't even allow anyone to spar. I am use to seeing full on sparring towards 2nd week since i was raised in another country. But since this is England I can allow a month and a bit.

If you want to do it, practice Boxing...
I practice Taekwondo and it need lots of training for legs to be in shape for fast kicking...

And Muay Thai is the strongest of those you mentioned...

If you're going to learn a martial art properly then you don't rush, no matter where you are or where you come from.

Boxing for self defense, chances are you won't meet somebody that can kick properly or do a clinch, and before they know it you can drop them with a couple of punches.
