Should i train muay thai or brazilian jiu jitsu?

💪 Improves cardiovascular endurance, coordination, and striking power.
⚖️ Focuses on footwork, balance, and body positioning for effective stand-up fighting, often used in MMA.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)🤼♂️ A ground-fighting martial art that focuses on submissions, leverage, and control.
💪 Builds strength, flexibility, and body awareness.
🛡️ Teaches how to defend against larger opponents using technique, making it highly effective for self-defense.
