Taekwondo or Kendo?

I am an 18-year old, female college freshman…who has recently discovered the amazing clubs at a major university. And so, I joined TKD and Kendo. I’m an absolute beginner in both, and the two are very different sports. I find Kendo much more physically challenging but also more unique and interesting. The problem is, I have to choose one- I simply don’t have the time to pursue two martial arts (especially given their intensity). Now, which should I stick with? It’s a matter of personal opinion, I know, but any and all advice will be appreciated….I’m of average strength, height, and flexibility. Both clubs have amazing instructors and people. I have lots of fun in both. How do I choose one????

anyone have a suggestion to which martial art i should take up?

Currently, I am proficient at Kendo, and Tai-chi, also the chi aspect too.

Now, what else can I take up?

Kendo or Tai Chi?

Which one do you think is better to practice?
