switching from Karate to Muy thai
hello my fellows, i train karate for almost 4 years and dont know if i should switch to muy thai. I learned from Karate the fast footwork, snappy kicks and fast movement. But i was never really pressure tested and it annoys me. i am not even sure if i could defend myself. The whole point of joining a martial art is for me is for self defence. We really do pad work and spar realisticly only sport karate style with too long strikes. i think it would be a great idea too add some uy thai in the mix. Muy thai gym is like 15 min away and my karate dojo is like 1h away. The Muy thai gym has also equipment for strenght training. I also train alestenics outside and the winter and the cold rainy days make it hard to perform consistent. Should i stop for karate now or not (i am a blue belt).
It would be great to hear some advices and thank you in advance.
