Which is better to learn krav maga or taekwondo?

Best Answers

I've spent time training in both (4 years in Krav & 15-20 years in TKD)* and basically agree with the other answers. Ultimately, it depends on what you want to get out of it and most importantly, the schools and instructors. read more

However, if your only goal is to learn self-defense/fighting skills, taekwondo is usually not the best choice (in real fights it is only occasionally effective), and your time would be more efficiently spent pairing krav maga with a more"MMA-verified" sportive art such as BJJ/Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, wrestling, boxing, muay thai, or MMA itself. read more

Anything you can list about Krav Maga being unique (IE: Inflicting serious injuries, eye poking, striking throat, military level combat, designed to kill with bare hands, uses all available moves and techniques, etc.) are all elements of Taekwondo and most other systems. read more

Karate teaches you discipline and is a never ending process but Krav Maga teaches you the self defence in short period of time and more effectively. I recommend you to go with Krav Maga. If you have enough time and want to create your own style then i recommend you to first learn Karate or Taekwondo and then specialize in Krav Maga. read more
