Wasn't going to actively fuck around with them. Was more just in case a cab driver tried to steal all my fuking shit.

are you seriously asking if boxing is affective in a street fight?

Been doing tae kwon do and some boxing for 20 years now. Did a little bjj in college, would like to get back into it, it was a complete change from the normal routine.

I've been curious about krav maga.

it is, to an extent. think about it, how many fights have you seen/been in? boxing will assure you dodge all punches and land the majority of yours, but we both know that a lot of the time, fights end up on the ground anyway. your skills are no good then.

(obligatory don't go looking for violence statement)

as far as getting into street fights, i think bjj is the most practical by far. getting hit in the face, you can still retain your dignity and pride after you lose. having your ankles touch the back of your neck while squealing like a pig, seems a little harder. i'd put my money on the guy trained in bjj every time. it's easy to take someone down to the ground. harder to make them stand and square up.

also worth noting, as a boxer who went into bjj/mma for a short time, i was VERY easy to take down haha.

if you decide to try out bjj, there's one golden rule i can tell you. clean yo fuckin' mouf. i once ate a tuna sandwich before training and i was made to pay for it. don't be that guy.

If you do BJJ or anything related to it, expect to be submitted time and time again. It's very humbling. I was combatives instructor trained in the army for a time. (MACP) Tore my shoulder, got a concussion, did something to my scapula, and got put in a neck crank too hard for starts. There's always someone more bad ass than you.

Sounds like a fucking shit bjj school

this



fights only go to ground when the people fighting are retards lol

anyone with a half decent skill for boxing would rock someone and the chance of the fight going to ground would be like 1/100. Obv dont fight someone 200lbs bigger than you or that chance will increase a lot lol




taekwondo is usually crap

my first day of boxing was today AMA

It wasn't a school. It's an army course. It was more like balls to the wall learn as much as you can so you can get back in the field and train.

i agree with you 100% here

then again, only animalistic neanderthals would get into a fight in the first place. it happens a lot!
