WHICH IS BETTER FOR SELF DEFENSE/STREET FIGHTING.

My friend and I are having a debate. I am saying that muay thai/kickboxing is superior to just boxing in terms of acquiring fighting skills for self defense.

Obviously a bigger factor would be who has the better trainer but assuming both gyms are good, which martial art is best for knowing how to FIGHT? My argument is that muay thai would be better, because rather than just punching you would know how to kick use knees and elbows, you have a larger variety of attacks..

He is not necessarily saying that boxing is superior but he is saying that it doesn't really matter.

Muay thai becuase counters and throws. Your freind is right though, it dosnt matter, if your trained to fight that will do

Muay Thai, though if you are a bitch you'll quit within a month

gun
or atleast knife

>>35116734
Brazilian jujitsu is probably the best. Most good cage fighters have a fair bit of training at this.

For self defence judo is probably the best it is all about reacting to attacks and stance when you square up.

I have done both of these and they have both helped me IRL but I'm obviously biased
>>
It doesn't matter. Kicks and kick defense are largely meaningless on DA STREETZ and boxing, obviously, has better hands and punch defense. MT does, however, have sweeps from clinch.

Either way the best self-defense styles are don't be a cunt fu and parkour
>>
>>35116852

yeah but I'm asking about muay thai vs western boxing, not brazilian jujitsu

>>35116734
Street fights are mostly about ego not serious violence. If you do any kind of "stance" at all before the other guy throws a punch everyone will laugh at you i.e. you have just lost the fight.

Best self defense is track field, better learn how to run.

To answer the question tho it depends on the situation. If you're somewhere where you can use muay thai then it'll beat boxing. If you're somewhere where you can't use your legs so easily (crowded room or lots of tables or something) boxing will tend to get the upper hand.

Between the two muay thai is obviously more useful since not only do you use kicks and knees, but more importantly you're used to defending against kicks and knees.

>>35117257
What if there's a barrier in between you and them? Or if everyone's in tight jeans like you're at an indie band gig 5 to 10 years ago.

It does boil down to legs are longer and stronger than arms really, but if you can't use legs so well then arms all the way.

what happens is
if you're trained at striking

Muay Thai is more superior due to it's vast amount of strikes.That would work well in the streets, But Boxing is not just throwing punches, footwork, angles, head movement which is also a good advantage to have. The best you can do is train both and add in grappling such as wrestling or bjj.

Look up fighter: Nieky Holzken
Both professional boxer and kickboxing.

>>35117363
>What if there's a barrier in between you and them?

>Or if everyone's in tight jeans like you're at an indie band gig 5 to 10 years ago.
low kicks are doable in skinny jeans unless you're wearing tight pants on the purpose to stop you from moving and you still have elbows
don't try to do some taekwondo jumping head kicks , keep your legs down to low kick and if the guys comes closer destroy him in clinch
>>
>>35116765
pipebomb
>>
In my opinion boxing is more practical. Muay Thai and kickboxing are different things. Muay Thai incorporates elbows and knees, straight kickboxing is primarily fists and shins/feet.
Both offer a lot more options than boxing and therefore spread out your learning over more time before you'll be practically proficient in either of them.
Boxing is more technical, but utilizes fewer and simpler movements. You can learn to apply boxing more quickly and easily, and it will consistently be effective in real life situations.
>>
>>35117402
Isn't his question which of the two would be better for self defense?
>>
>>35117388
that'd make you a complete fighter but also an awesome load of training
considering most of us lift too , I don't see how you would get the time to do allthis without compromising the progression

Running
>>
>>35117416
>unless you're wearing tight pants on the purpose to stop you from moving and you still have elbows
Well you're listening to an indie band 5 to 10 years ago, you can barely feel your nads.

I give you that elbows are useful but boxing is the superior arm only strikes fighting style imo. Elbows are v short range and boxing gives p good distance. But why not do and have both?

There is one big difference.

Boxers dont protect legs, their legs are weak shit. Do a low kick and boxer is fucked. Type in boxer vs kickboxer in youtube and youll see.
>>
>>35117434
Exactly. Which is more important: solid punch defense or okay punch defense and kick defense?

In any event the correct answer was here

>Either way the best self-defense styles are don't be a cunt fu and parkour
>>
>>35116961
He's been bullied by someone called Tyrone who being black is very street. Qed that play fight they had was definitely a street fight
>>
>>35117477
well if you really can only use fists, boxing will obviously be better but I'm yet to meet a kcik boxer or anyone you can use his legs who's wearing pants so tight he can't even low kicks
doing both is a good idea but it'll limit your progression in both and unless you're a neet or a pro you wouldn't have the time to train both correctly
to me, a thai boxer is a good enough puncher to be able to fight only fists if needed considering how rre it might happen compared to a fight where you can use everything
>>
>>35117057
Yeah and Vitaly Scherbo was a 5'7 manlet that weighed around 140 in his prime so what's your excuse for not being a fucking Olympic gymnast you little bitch

>>
>>35116734
You never really use any kicking, unless you have a gun in your hands, but even then you can bash him the the weapon.
Or when you want to stun an opponent, but for that you need max. 3 kinds of kicks, not any more than that.

So go with boxing, maybe kickboxing. What matters is to get the guy stunned/knocked-out first, after that you can put him in the choke-hold or stomp at his spine.
Kidding. You shouldn't do that.
>>
>>35117529
>don't be a cunt fu
Not good when others are doing being a cunt fu
>and parkour
For defense of just the self sure. Add in track and field so you can also just run fast and throw shit hard.
>>
>>35116734
Won't see much besides big hooks in a street fight as that's what most people will throw naturally

so boxing is totally effective of course muay thai would be as well, but it's more oriented towards defending against kicks

and who kicks in a fight?

Well each fight is potentially different and you want your stance to reflect that. in general I would say a pure boxing stance is better. Simply because it protects vulnerable spots better like the liver and the solar plexus.

Kicking is dangerous in a real fight, it makes you more vulnerable than punching.
>>
>>35117568
>and who kicks in a fight?
you , if you know how to do it
a low kick can stop a fight as much as a punch
do don't the flying reverse double turning kicks though or you're fucked
also knees and elbows are deadly but you need to be really good at it to not fuck it up
>>
>>35117540
I agree. I think it's sensible to do something with arms and legs for striking over just one or the other as the main system but you can always take a few supplemental classes in other shit down the line.

Says someone who only experienced fighting in a Tekken.

Tell me, how can low kick end a fight? How is low kick not the most avoidable attack you can throw? How are knees and elbows deadly, when they only take away your reach, and you have to know the exact way to do it, otherwise they are useless?

Only few kicks are useful in a fight, and I can tell you which they are, so you can stop spouting meme moves in here.
They are:
-stomps (to knees or thighs)
-straight kicks (to the solar plexus, or neck (!if you know how to fucking do it, otherwise there's NO fucking chance you are going to hit someone)
-side kick to the kidneys, a powerful one (I still wouldn't use it, it's pretty much another meme move)
-nut shot
-horse kick (again, with no training is as useless as doing fucking frontflips in the middle of a fight)

There you go, from someone who actually experienced a lot of fights.

I've done a lot of different martial art and got into several fights and let me tell you this.

MMA, Muay Thai, Kick Boxing are all good to learn how to fight and you will learn some useful skills.

But the truth is in a street fight, it doesn't last long enough to remember to use this or that in this or that situation. Boxing is the most efficient one for random fights. As far as I remember, I actually never used my legs in any fights I've been unless the guy was laying on the gorund and you don't neek skills to kick him from there.
+ Boxing will give you the best cardio of them all.

I've done Taekwondo do but it's completly fucking useless in street fights and it'll just give you an excellent base for other sport where you use your legs.

Of course all of this depends on the guy using the martial art. Some dude can kick ass with Taekwondo even in street fights but I'm talking about the lambda guy.
>>
>>35116734
Muay thai, no question. I've been training for just over three years now. If I were to fight a boxer, I'd fake jab, low kick HARD to his thigh. Guaranteed to make him start limping. Game over after that.
>>
>>35117723
>How are knees and elbows deadly, when they only take away your reach
Better leverage, faster and harder and pointier boney bits. If you have the opportunity to throw a knee or an elbow in do it.
>>
>>35117767
I have my trip on, to BE taken seriously.

And I said kicks can be useful, but there's no need doing BJJ or Muay thai, since there's only few kicks you should train that ARE useful. You don't need several years and a variety of kicks to take down someone, who could actually just take you down with one punch.

>>35117820
Most of the people I saw tried doing those "elbow" punches, and ended up hitting me with their forearms, or not hitting me at all.
And you have to be pretty much in a dick-sucking distance if you want to throw one.
I'm not saying they are complete shit, but you could only use them in rare situations.

Although the force you can do them with isn't as hard as punches, the bone compensates for it, I know that.

I never used an elbow besides when I was in a choke-hold, and that was elbow to the back.

Boxing and very few kicks, that's something you can use in pretty much any situation, at least I hope we can agree on that one.

Not any of the guys you are arguing with but doesn't muay thai also train punching? And is the only reason that kicking is useless because it is telegraphed readily and easily dodged, but doesn't that also take practice. I mean we are talking about fighting some random guy, not a trained fighter

That's inexperience and stupidity.

>Boxing and very few kicks, that's something you can use in pretty much any situation, at least I hope we can agree on that one.
I think do one or two things well and add in supplemental stuff to broaden your abilities and experience. I can think of where one thing might be better than another but depending on the situation muay thai might be a better tool than boxing.

I would say that kicking is inherently more violent than stuff to do with punching and by and large most people try (and I mean try) to punch. If you can catch a punch that is usually a better way of diffusing a situation than badly hurting someone having a tantrum with a hard kick or knocking them to the floor or whatever.

Muay Thai. If you get in a street fight you can leg kick a guy and take him out really easily.

One kick.

One.

You will keep distance and take less damage. You wont fuck up their face so when police come you won't get in trouble.

If some how they do close the distance you'll do more damage because of elbows to the face and knees to the body.

You should learn the striking from boxing too desu but muay thai is better for fighting.
>>
OP I say boxing for three reasons

1) Shorter learning curve.
2) A real deal boxing gym will put you through the ringer in cardio, moreso than muay thai gyms in the US from what I have seen.
3) Learn to defend punches really well, and that is what 99% of an untrained person will throw at you.

Meh, I'm not really arguing either, just trying to tell them not to fall for the memes, and go for something that would actually help them.

I'm not an expert on muay thai, so I can't tell you if they teach punches, but I could tell you with certainty that boxing would teach you better punches that muay thai.
And punches are more useful.

And the kicks aren't as useful as punches, since amateurs put weak force behind them, and they go for sides and shit when they are attacking you. From which you can easily devastate them, if you choose to, since they have no defense, and it's not going to stun you in a fight.
That's the thing, if you are not stunning your opponent, you are doing something useless. A good kick is a kick that leaves the guy you are fighting breathless.
Since in real fight it doesn't matters if it hurts a bit, since they are charging you with full body, they put force behind it, and meme kicks won't stop them. Even amateurs.
That's why I prefer punches, and few kicks and grapples to compliment them nicely. Also, using your surrounding.
>>35118078
I thin that practicing one kick more times is more useful than having variety of kicks that you practice briefly, and can only use them in some situations.

And I agree with you on the second point, kicking is more violent, and, useful when somebody is trying to punch you. But that's just a very slight advantage. Well aimed punch would do the same thing.

And my fight style varies from yours, when I'm fighting, I mean to hurt the other person, badly.

But my point is, to put everything in one sentence - You don't have to do kick-oriented martial arts in order to learn ten thousand kinds of kicks, it's a waste of time.
Doing three kicks ten thousand times is way better.
(I have a feeling someone said that already)
>>
>>35116734
Obviously Muay Thai.
Just kick the other guy in the knee and watch him go down. Don't even have to follow up with anything, muthafucka's going to need assistance getting up if you have any leg/kicking power. And good byeeeee walking if you did it with intent to injure.

You don't try head kicks or anything flashy.
Fucking simple.

Ever got hit in the thigh? It does make you start limping, for fuck's sake it's the number two spot to hit if you want to make someone limp, right after knee.

I don't say this often, but man, educate yourself on the thing you are considering false, before you post.
>>
>>35118201

There are four main and two utility kicks and thats it.
Front kick, high kick, low kick and front kick with foot on the horizontal line I dont know what its called.
Utility are the one where you turn around and aim at ribs, and variety of that where you turn around and aim at head in continous motion.

My kickboxing coach was Serbian, he killed a Croat in a war by kicking him in the head and breaking his neck. They want him for war crimes and you can find info about it online but I wont post his name.
He also did the turn around rib kick and broke some guys ribs, this at age of 70. Meme kicks are ones thst include jumping, ducking and other video game shit.

Yeah man, I agree with you on that one, if you read my previous posts, I mentioned them, only worded them differently, so people could understand.

I think it's called plunging kick, by the way, the one where you use put your torso up front with your leg too.

I'm just trying to explain to people who never were in a fight that doing that fucking spinning kicks they saw in the Karate Kid wouldn't work in real life, since there's almost no force behind them. You only use few kicks and that's it, but people don't seem to get it.

Can confirm. Though if you're a NEET or otherwise lonelyfag, we have the chillest community that you can join.

BJJ is not great for FIGHTing, though I doubt you'd ever find an opponent who just sucks at fighting who will be unarmed and rowdy. If you're in a competition, it's great. If you want to be a part of a(n alternative) sport that's low impact enough to be capable of a diverse community that's comprised of more than "C'mon! Push it!" and "Let's go, faggot!" then it's great.

>>35118201
>And my fight style varies from yours, when I'm fighting, I mean to hurt the other person, badly
I've done shit like working with mental health patients where you have to restrain them and not hurt them if they get uppity. It's a good thing to be able to do, there were times when I was younger where I think it would have come in handy and times later where it did. If you're at a party or something and some idiot starts getting handsy or aggro for no reason it means you don't get your night ruined p much. If you're semi decent, can hold yourself okay and don't mind shit smells too much volunteering somewhere if you can isn't the worst thing you can do.

Boxing is in a lot of ways way more straight forward and I mean that in a good way. You can become good at fighting very quickly. Muay thai to me seems to be much more when you're here you do this and here do this. I think ideally you do want a handful of almost automatic useful movements, and ime boxing does this very well, but I can also see the attraction of a system like muay thai with more options. That may just be the muay thai fags I've talked to giving me this impression.

I dunno if that's too clear so I'll put it another way, early boxing is great, it's nice and straightforward and you can get get real good at a few things, but later on where people try to be clever with it and play it like chess it is less versatile than something like muay thai for random agro

Maybe I should try muay thai actually and see what happens.

Dont have to be good at them all. Just take what can be used to make you a better fighter.Lets say your foundation is pure Muay Thai, you can take head movements off boxing, sprawling from wrestling, controlling your opponent when your on your back and escaping from BJJ etc.

As for time, yea it will take a lot. I would say stick to your foundation and incorporate just one other style for a short period of time. Take everything you can learn then move on to another style.

Tbh I personally never used utility kicks in the fight because exposing back is risky and you can miss and get fucked. He always taught us to pull torso back with "plunging" kick because otherwise you break the stance, go into the opponent and can get smacked and evaded. I got smacked in the head so many times by the guy for doing dumb shit that I always held my guard up when talking to him.
But youre right 3 kicks is enough, if you know how to do them without thought. If you dont its better to punch, even if you dont even know that.

I usually either staggered or pushed back opponents with plunging kick, that's why I could break the stance without getting worried. It's not gut with fighting multiple people, so I didn't use it, just used box.

Modern judo is garbage. Literally just belting up till you learn uchimata and then trying to uchimata everyone. However, if you ever have the pleasure of working with a japanese judoka or a judoka from an actual gym, they're scary as fuck. Also, most judo throws don't need a gi but there's little attention given to no gi judo so people don't realize that. Plenty of judo throws in MMA pulled off without even a shirt to grab onto. It's about body momentum, scrub. Learn your shit.

Good front, side and round kicks can break ribs.
Stomp kicks, like Fumikomi Geri from Karate can be a real killer when applied properly. Elbows can cut and K.O. Knees can do the same. Personally got hit with one in Shotokan, not even sparring, just a regular upward knee. Partner was tired and sperged out, threw a side knee arund the shield instead. Hurt like a bitch and I needed a minute.

Those two throws are different. Your is more of a hip wheel than a hip throw like the judo one. In yours he goes from left hip rolling over to the right hip then the ground. The judo one goes from center back to rolling over one hip then the ground.

The judo throw is also easier to set up. Can you pull them towards you? If yes then you can do it.

Your entire grappling game revolves around concepts that don't work to well with expanded rules.

As much as you train in the gym, on the streets it doesn't matter. I've been training boxing for about 2 months so am fairly novice but ended up getting into a street fight with a bunch of drunk people. I did learn how to throw a good punch but at the end of the day, if any of them had a weapon like a knife or anything then I would be dead now.

A lot of people in this thread underestimate the power of a good punch. A weak hit to the face will do nothing when compared to a solid punch to the stomach.
>>
>>35119612
From what I understand you are saying throws in judo break down when you go to ground fighting? Half of judo is ground based so that's not an issue.

No, there is a thing called base in real grappling sports. It is banned by Judo.

Also, Judo is definitely not 50% ground work. Some schools do more, but finding one with 50% would be like finding a unicorn bro. If you got 30% that would be a good amount for Judo.

Watch how throws work in Sambo. And that is with grippy grips.
>>
>>35119663
I think you are using a slang term for something that you call base. Google isn't even helping

Training wise for me judo was about 50/50. Fighting wise 70/30 like you said.

Sambo is pretty much indistinguishable from judo. Places that teach sambo also usually teach sambo and vice versa in some places.

>>35116734

Objective answer here:

between two professionals, obviously muay thai wins. Uninteresting

Self defence, against an untrained assailant, if youre averagely trained, boxing is better than muay thai. mid kicks/headkicks are not effective outside a score based fight. The risk reward is not favourable. Boxing is more straightforward and robust, and easier to pull of if youre slightly nervious/scared. The only thing muay thai brings to the table in terms of a street fight if youre averagely trained is low kicks, which are great.

All of that said, I think BJJ is probably the best self defence.

Most street fights are fast paced attacks that if you do have a chance to even react to them, it would be more beneficial to be a pro at the prime instict of majority of men which would be to throw a punch so I'd say boxing. Thai would maybe be better in a semi fair fight where you actually know you're about to be attacked but again you need to be good enough not to subcome to the intensity and start throwing only punched or blind kicks.

tbqh tho familia, you should really develop a strong grappling game in addition to striking.

Judo fighter here.
BJJ is mostly ground game, meaning once you're on the ground wresting with people (arm locks, chokes, etc etc etc). It incorporates some standing but not an amazing amount.
Judo is more standing than groundgame, and I like judo more. I've fought BJJ guys and have lost and won, I just like standing more because it seems more practical IRL than a ground game basis.

Honestly it depends on the person and how often they fight.

Here is the best advice you will ever get about fighting.

I have gotten into quite a few fights and have beaten up people from all kinds of martial arts except judo and ju jitsu they kicked my ass. I learned from this and started doing ju jitsu instead of the karate I was doing then I started hanging around with these guys who were all feared because of their streetfighting skill and I was astonished to learn that one was a tae kwon do guy one was a boxer one was a karate guy and it was some obscure faggot brand of karate. I never had much repect for tae kwon do but I knew boxing was good because I had been beaten up by a few boxers.

I then learned it is not about the ART it's about how often you fight. If you train Muay thai and never spa you will get you ass kicked by anyone that has fought a few fights, the same with boxing.
What makes boxing, muay thai, karate and judo all so good is that they fight each other all the time, forever honing their skills to the point that any non trained person fighting them is like a child fighting an adult.
>>
>>35116734
For fighting, muay thai is better than kickboxing, kickboxing is better than boxing.

Muay thai has knees and elbows and clinching and takedowns, whereas a lot of kickboxing does not, boxing does not.
Muay thai and kickboxing have kicks, boxing does not.

>>35116889
>Kicks and kick defense are largely meaningless on DA STREETZ
When will this meme die? It has no basis in reality.
Kicks happen in MMA fights all the time, and they will happen in the street too if your opponent is trained in them.
Noobs don't know how to defend against kicks, so you should kick them. Experienced kickers know how to kick so you should learn to kick and defend against kicks.

>Kimbo slice is my goal, what a fucking Savage. He was so good at steeetfights he went pro
Why would you want to be Kimbo Slice specifically instead of the best fighter of all time?
Street fighters are not as good as people in the UFC, being a good street fighter is shit in comparison to being good at high level MMA competitions.

that's what happens to people who don't train kicking and kick defense. They get kicked in the legs over and over again until their legs stop working.

You can tell when someone has no idea about fighting when they say "put him in the choke-hold".
> but there's no need doing BJJ since there's only few kicks you should train that ARE useful
BJJ doesn't train kicks. BJJ is grappling only.
>I'm not an expert on muay thai, so I can't tell you if they teach punches
They do teach punches in muay thai. You could have just gone onto the wikipedia page and looked this up. Or just have even a basic amount of knowledge of what muay thai is.

people throw jabs and crosses all the time, perhaps more so than hooks.

I know you would rip into me if I said any opinion about your training if i had only done 6 months of it.

And if your not lying you know you don't know shit about BJJ after only 6 months.

And tbqh if you have only learnt one takedown your teacher is pretty shit

Hurling insults and and pulling more shit out of your ass you can't back up is fine by me. And I'll talk as much as I want to dipshits like you who have proven they have no understanding of martial arts at all to so easily open their mouth and not think.

Boxing because Im a man and not a sissy little bitch. Ill go watch Hajime no Ippo now.

Shitting on Kyokushin? Really? Because of MMA's popularity, Muay-Thai is now what karate was back in the day - the go-to martial art for the masses. Only difference is that it is being taught to alpha mayos and frat boys. At this point, Kyokushin is more legit than MT.

Boxing, and I say this as an practitioner of both. You wont kick in a Street fight, fists are much more effective.

Where I am if you don't provoke them, try to verbally defuse the situation and then tank 3 hits you are pretty much golden to fuck them up as bad as you want with no chance that they can win a case against you and a high chance they go to jail for a short amount of time
>>
>>35116734
Boxing has very tight rules. The guard is kept low against the cheeks because that's where punches deal the most damage. For muay thai, where you can receive high kicks, the guard is kept higher so as to be able to guard against those. Now will you face high kicks in a street fight? No, unless you're up against a crazy motherfucker who doesn't wear fucking jeans. So I'd say the stance is fucking irrelevant overall, your conversion is more important. Fight against a guy who knows what he's doing and you're gonna get your ass kicked, fight against a noob pretender and you stand a chance. Go for easymode throws and locks in street fights, not for punchouts or KO kicks.

>>35122464
Not sure which post your referring to, but if it was mine I was not shitting on Kyokushin. I respect it very much.

>But my point is, to put everything in one sentence - You don't have to do kick-oriented martial arts in order to learn ten thousand kinds of kicks, it's a waste of time.
>Doing three kicks ten thousand times is way better.
In muay thai and kickboxing, they don't use many kicks. Most of the kicks are just the roundhouse kick and the front kick. Occasionally the side kick, like after a missed roundhouse kick. A side kick or front kick to the knee can do a lot of damage. Then there are just variations of those - eg kicking different parts of the body.
But why do you say "you don't have to do kick-oriented martial arts" but then say "doing three kicks ten thousand times is way better"? Muay thai and kickboxing are kick-oriented and they tend to only use a few kicks. Now if you mean "don't do TKD" then I agree.

>>35118441
BJJ is great for fighting. Best ground grappling there is.

>>35118470
A stomp to the thigh could be a side kick, but it could be a front kick.

>>35118483
>>35118758
A stomp to the thigh/knee can do a lot of damage to the knee. It can also be useful in a thai clinch for creating space eg to set up a takedown or knee.

The UFC is made up of best fighters in the world.
Granted there's some stuff you can't do in UFC that you can do in real life - eye gouging, kicking an opponent who is down, 12 to 6 elbows, throat strikes, etc. But even then, they all know how to do 12 to 6 elbows, throat strikes, etc. Pride allowed kicking an opponent who is down, UFC used to. Yet fighters who did well when kicks to downed opponents were allowed still did well when kicks to downed opponents were banned. Are you going to say that kicking someone in the thigh doesn't work because in UFC you can't eyegouge?

I think he just means the wrestling stance.
"base" means to lower and spread out, so that you are more stable.
I think he is saying that the wrestling stance is banned in judo.

Muay thai. For one reason.

Have you ever punched someone HARD in the head? It's like punching a a big lump of concrete.

If you have a job where you require the use of your right hand (almost every job) then you don't want to go into work with your hand 2x its normal size.

Usually in a "street fight", if you didn't initiate it. All you need to do is show that you are capable enough to make the other guy know it's not worth it. If you can achieve this with a few strong kicks to the leg or a strong midsection kick. Then that's great. But if it takes you having 50% chance breaking your hand on his skull then you actually end up worse off than him anyway.

>kinds this

I love boxing, I've boxed for many years, and I know I can hit someone in the right place on their face to avoid hurting my hand if I'm gloveless... Most of the time. One lucky slip on my opponent's part and I sink a hook into their orbital bone, bruising them and possibly breaking a knuckle. Have you ever broken a knuckle? Or dislocated one for that matter? You can keep fighting with your other hand after but you won't want to; the pain is crazy.

I'd say short, safe kicks at the opponent's lead leg are a pretty valuable thing to know how to do properly. Obviously learn how to slip and guard your face as well. Then if it gets dirty just slap him right on the ear.

>>35118252
Low kick to the thigh of a boxer will absolutely put him down. Their legs just aren't conditioned for it. The shin bone of a seasoned muay thai fighter, connecting to the thigh of an untrained BOXER would be devastating lol.

how is kickboxing better than boxing? boxers are much much better at footwork, distancing, hand speed, and reflexes. thats why all the videos of people fighting of multiple opponents are pretty much all done by boxers. Boxings not limited its specialized. They are both great choices that will teach you how to be a good fighter.

Neither is Shotokan you ignorant fuckwit. Just because point sparring exists doesn't mean you can't do full contact as well. The only siffernce than the the way a style like kyokushin?Ashihara etc. and mine sparred was that the names were different. My dojo sparred full-contact in every class, and part of the point of that 'dancing tag' is emphasis on the importance a singular attack and how to properly execute and land one good strike. There are tons of videos of early 70's /80's bareknuckle point sparring, which certainly wasn't tag. People came away with broken ribs and dislocated knuckles.
