> Both are great for a street/bar fight/self defense. But, Krav Maga shows you how to REALLY hurt someone so the will not get back up. BUT, its a lot more technical that throwing punches, knees, kicks, bows, knees, ect. Krav Maga is take downs, disabling, and even killing, esp with weapon training.  
> Mauy Thai is great for cardo, its almost 95% cardio (along with the training) Krav Maga is a bit less cardo unless you get a good gym that will beat the shit out of you for a warm up in the beginning. After awhile they have drills where they will have numerous opponents come at you one after another. But, then again we did that in kickboxing as well.

hahaha

see thats what im more looking for… REAL self defense… im more likely to be in a situation where something breaks out in front of me or getting jumped down town… those are real situations to me.

i may be able to do both… i just found out that lackland afb teaches KM, and it may be free or even bout 5 bucks a class, they train only 2 nights a week which would be good cause i wanted to take muay thai on mon wed fri
