taekwondo or acrobatics? can someone help?
ok, im a freshman college and i am enrolling as a medical technologist student and the registrar gave me all my subject and scheds then asked me what Physical Education i would choose.. then i asked back, is there taekwondo or acrobatics like cheer dancing, circus, gymnastics, pole dancing... the registrar answered 'we all have kind of physical education subjects here'.. then i pleased her to leave my PE subject blank and give me time to think about that. so she answered kindly 'of course, but i'll give you a week only'.. so yeah..
i only have 3 days left to choose.. can someone help me..
my mom said, u should take taekwondo for your self-defense
my dad said, choose for what is your passion.which is gymnastics(everytime i see pics of gymastics, i really give efforts to get that pose.) but i do have also passion in taekwondo.
ok.. its like both taekwondo and acrobatics give me benefits.
i really need your help cuz im not good at rush decision making.. i really appreciate any suggestions :D

Do acrobatics/gymnastics. It is pretty obvious that is actually what you want to do.
I really don't think you are going to become a self-defence expert from a college PE class. The strength, balance, coordination and explosive power you gain in gymnastics would be highly transferable to a self-defence situation anyway. Assuming you are not in some sort of criminal gang the chances of you needing to defend yourself are fairly low. If it did happen you are only looking to break away and buy yourself a little head start when you run away screaming and gymnasts have really good acceleration.
Gymnastics also teaches great life skills because of the way you have to work hard over a period to improve and you get incremental improvement with the odd fall or setback. Gymnastics encourages self-discipline, determination, persistence, working for delayed returns and resilience. Those are valuable qualities in education and in life.
