Thats cool... I would have loved to have travelled to Thailand or Korea to learn the martial arts in the country of origin
My grandmaster was korean and studied since he was a child. When I met him last, watching him kick apples from the end of original samurai swords, 10 feet in the air, I was impressed & followed the Moo Duk Kwan martial arts until I had reached Black belt. Unfortunatly, due to circumstances, family & work, I could not or have not had the time to continue training Moo duk kwan. Amusingly, When studying Muay Thai, I cannot help but stand in a Moo Duk Kwan stance & use most of the spinning & jump kicks that originally was designed to kick the troops from their horses. Great for head shots, powerful & fast.
Luck with finding your martial arts... maybe between the 2 I would personally try brazilian jujitsu. This can be used in many more situations that can show non aggression & can be simple to dissarm opponents in everyday situations
