[quote=Anonymous]Muay Thai is way more practical in terms of self-defense. Don't get me wrong, Tae Kwon Do black belts are pretty bad ass, but there's a reason Muay Thai is the basis of the stand-up part of modern Mixed Martial Arts (think UFC / cage fighting). She will quickly gain ability to use knee / elbow strikes that are far more effective than fancy Tae Kwon Do kicks. I'd recommend that and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for wrestling / ground defense, which can be more important for causing damage / escaping in a real self-defense situation. Many martial arts gyms offer Muay Thai / BJJ / MMA classes all in one place.[/quote]
