WHY BOXING IS BETTER THAN MARTIAL ARTS! (BJJ/JUDO ETC)

-  Full disclosure, I have practiced in many different styles of martial arts, and this is just my personal first-hand experience but many people proclaim martial arts to be superior in a self-defense situations especially for beginners. I tend to disagree. Here’s my take.

I have trained BJJ for around 5 years and still do. I took Muay Thai for about a year and 1/2 to get a decent striking base. Most BJJ guys underestimate and undervalue how effective striking is. Grappling is great to know but being able to piece somebody up is equally if not more important.
Well said, gotta balance the yin & yang!!
BJJ is meant to be paired with striking but the strikes were taken out for tournaments. Judo also used to do more ground work but has taken a lot out for tournaments. When it was an actual form of combat for war, you'd use throws and locks to expose people to strikes.
It’s always nice to be able to dictate where the fights going to take place. I’ve always grappled. Just started boxing and I’m obsessed with it now. I’m adding in some Muay Thai soon. I’m dressing it. Took a nasty shin to my thigh and that will change the way you look at life. lol.
@JacksonTaylorandTheSinners Having your leg shut down after a clean round kick to the upper thigh is an eye-opening experience to be sure lol

I have been training karate for nearly 25 years. And now I do boxing 1 to 2 times a week besides karate.
Boxing for me is another game that really gives you the taste of reality and you don't get that in lots of martial arts.
It's great for footwork, conditioning and reflexes.
I agree also the sparring in boxing is much more realistic than in karate.
Man I am martial arts instructor.
Iv been training in one way or another for close to 20 years.
I honestly tell people the same thing.
I think boxing and wrestling are the best things people can do if they want to actually be able to handle themselves in a fight simply because of the way they train and the mindsets of the competitions.
I incorporate both in our fighting system quite a bit simply because of how effective they are in the street.
And most of the street fights I've been in it's been a pretty awful idea to be on the ground for to long lol
That's what Andrew Tate said
Boxing and judo is all you need in a fight but self defense is different
@@markdaniels4178 "Boxing and judo is all you need in a fight but self defense is different" - That's right, keep everything easy. :) Two sciences, study and practice them both to the fullest! A knock out artist, a body slam artist, and a choke out artist!
Boxing and wrestling is good but I reckon boxing and judo better
@@tylerdurden4289 I dont think judo works if the opponent is not wearing some large jacket like a tshirt or maybe shirtless, because judokas only train with gi.
I’ve been doing boxing for 4 years now. I started off with karate I did it for 11 years started when I was really young I got my black belt, but let me tell you I didn’t realize that I knew nothing about fighting until I got into an actual fight I was beaten up and robbed. So I started boxing and it helped me it saved my life actually I can handle myself well now I would like to do either Thai boxing or wrestling in the future to well round my game. Also when I told people I did karate they laughed and made fun of me but when I told them I boxed they were like wow and never messed with me. 🥊
Footwork in boxing is greatly underrated when it comes to self defense. Being light on your feet and having the option to engage or disengage is very important. In grappling sports, you are forced to commit and that's when things can go very wrong.
Agreed
💯🥊 how long of training in boxing to win in a street fight?
@@truthhurts6327 30 minutes should be plenty
those who know both >>>>
As a dude that grew up fighting on the streets and doing time I tell dudes all the time the last place you wanna be is on the ground in a REAL fight. A competition is a real fight but it’s controlled with rules so it makes sense to take someone down. On the street you wanna be on your feet and be able to get away if you need to run not be on the ground waiting to be stomped by other dudes. Seen it too many times. Learn to box it will keep you alive and you’ll win more than 9 out of 10 fights in the streets
I totally agree with this. I've seen footage of boxers very easily and effectively take control of a situation taking out multiple opponents. Boxing and it's footwork just works, it's that simple. There's nothing fancy about it.
Great video! I've always thought of boxing as a martial art. For that matter, wresting too. But I know what you mean. I agree with you that boxing provides you with a great base. After a one-hour boxing workout, most people can hardly hold their arms up. I think if you do boxing and some wrestling, you will be set in dealing with most street fight scenarios.
I do both KYOKISHIN, karate and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but I’ve also integrated parts of boxing into my training, and I must say whatever it comes to defensive maneuvers. I had never seen any sort of head movement quite like boxings, and it’s very effective.
Kyokushin is a very respectable style I must say. Very similar to Muay Thai, no bs.
Great video. I did both boxing and BJJ. In my experience at the BJJ gym, the owner acted like BJJ was the end all to for all street fights. He would talk about how in a boxing stance someone could just shoot in and do a take down as if a boxer wouldn't move around or throw a hook or something. Great content!
My plan is to do boxing at least 2 years then would like to do judo
I did Muay Thai now doing boxing I plan getting back into Thai. I love boxing the footwork and striking is needed.
btw, could one argue boxing is in some situation, more effective than kickboxing or muay thai in the street? because in the street ppl usually wearin jeans or slim pants, which makes it significantly more difficult to kick...just a thought!
I totally agree boxing is way more fast-paced than kickboxing
About time someone said it out loud
Just notice you didn’t touch up alot about the subject “JUDO” In judo there’s also alot of movement..fight for grips, drag opponent, offbalancing opponent, use their attack against them.. Judo moves also are mostly defences..(managing distance) to throw, sweep, takedowns..and many times the judoka could also be left standing instead..which gives him/her time to add more damage to the opponent or simply look to exit the scene. With that said there’s also alot of footwork in JUDO as well..
Judo is amazing man for the streets ❤
I agree. It wouldn’t hurt to learn both Boxing and Judo.
Judo is the most realistic martial arts for how most street fights actually start. It works in clinch range and uses take downs that are throws as opposed to single or double legs that lead to ground fighting. Someone who can throw and box is gonna be a strong fighter in the street.
@@TheMatrixofMeaning Boxing - combined with Judo and your going to be a Terminator
I don't like Judo mostly for the fact that I have done it to black belt level, and it is difficult to execute techniques with an opponent who is resisting. But it is EXTREMELY difficult to execute techniques on someone running away.
If your opponent isn't willing staying in the clinch with you it is hard to get your hips under their center of gravity or to apply sweeps. I like wrestling because you can force your will by shooting, whereas in judo a lot of its success is timing based. I have also experienced firsthand that especially when there's no gi, you can have your back taken on many throws
I view boxing as a classic in a good way too 😅
There is a difference between fighting and criminal violence. Fighting is somewhat mutual to a degree, for example, two guys in a bar exchange words then step outside for a brawl. Criminal violence is sudden with little warning, for example, a group of teens playing the knockout game & sneaking up on a victim. Criminal violence often involves two or more attackers, an armed attacker or both. The best defense against criminal violence is an equalizer such as a pistol or pepper spray & of course general awareness of your surroundings. Unarmed against criminal violence I would definitely take boxing & wrestling before all other styles, what you need when SHFT is simplicity. However keep in mind unarmed no matter what style you are very much behind the power curve when facing criminal violence.
Loved the opening statement "... with the exception of kickboxing, particularly Muay Thai"
I've never trained boxing, but can totally see how it would prepare you for being punched/attacked for real.
I think, rightly or wrongly, not sure, but most martial arts seem to be soft sparing/technique building, so when you do get punched for real, it's a shock to the system and can short circuit your brain while you process wtf just happened, when you feel the pain on your face, and blood running from your nose.
Finally, just agreeing with what you are saying.
Ha ha thank you brother you get where I’m coming from I have to make the exception for that particular style but yes most people are not prepared for the brutality of being punched in the face rapidly in multiple times in a short window of time!
Agreed. Even in contact sparring, you might get a sparring partner who gets excited and lets a few punches rip harder than they mean to, and nothing helps condition you to getting punched in the face or the body than taking the occasional bomb. Also there's no better reminder to keep your hands up than when you catch a right hook because your left hand's slipping.
@@MarshallIgnas yeah...this happened to me recently haha
@@stringsnare same here.
I totally agree. I would want you as a boxing coach.
Knowing some sort of self defence is all about trade-offs. I'm a complete amateur when it comes to this, but I like the simplicity of boxing, which has both a beauty and effectiveness to it. You can teach yourself the very basics by practising four types of punches and regularly shadowbox. It won't make you either a proper boxer or a self-defence expert, but it will at least give you something to work with, a certain amount of very basic self-confidence which is better than nothing. Most ordinary people don't have the time or will to put down hours of training in a gym, so this is one way of still acquiring some sort of extremely elementary self-defence capability. Having to learn only four ways of punching combined with some kind of footwork and evasive movement at least gives you a better chance than someone with no practice whatsoever.
just wanna say all your videos have excellent advice. dont stop posting. maybe do some videos on defensive basics, stance work...fundamentals that many people miss. i mean theres already videos on that and i like your more 'inner'/psychology type of vids. but yea...
I wanna see some Coach V. Beat up the heavy bag!
I think you’re spot on. Great realistic perspective.
Glad you enjoyed it
I've been saying this ever since I've made mma my sport focus. I love wrestling, I love bjj, but anyone with good hands is way harder to manage than a good grappler or a good kicker imo. Even in muay thai a good boxer with a little bit of training time can come in and piece up a lot of people at your gym. Boxing is by far underrated
I think it's personal preference. Which sport is more fun to you? Go do that. If you like rolling on the ground and playing the submission game do that. If you like punching kicking elbows and stuff then do that. If you just like punching then do that. They'll all get you in shape and they'll all give you tools you can use against one other unarmed opponent.
Boxing is the best self defensive shit you can't beat it if u doing right 💯 🤜🏾💥👊🏾💥🤛🏾
Boxing and jujitsu is a nice combo, you can stand and trade and if you get knocked down you can break some ankles
In my opinion a good boxer with solid take down defense & ability to check leg kicks that would be the “elite fighter”.
Its more like 60% judo/jujutsu,
20% boxing, 20% Kickboxing or karate.
Thats what they learn in the military.
@LimosineAndPEETZA92
No, thats why they learn martial arts
great video coach. I totally agree.
Fighting is moving and boxing has the best footwork. Moves at the speed of combat.
Well put my friend, i’ve been thinking kind of the same thing, it sounds like you explanained what i was trying to figure out on my own. Thanks a lot for the video !!!
Coming from a Shotokan background, you are %100 correct. Boxing/Muay Thai, is on a different level. Most street fights, don't go to the ground. If they do, you're in trouble( you don't want to be on the ground, in a street fight).....my opinion.....
Most boxing matches have a ton of clinching. This is why grappling is superior. It is easier to grab a man than it is to KO him. That being said that best takedown is a left hook like they say. Pick your poison type of thing.
Hey bro. Great content. I had a question. How much does heavy bag work carry over into sparring and self defense? I talk to some guys that train and they say it's completely useless. I do have experience sparring but gained a lot of injuries overtime and had to take 2 years off of training.
Not OP but self defence is maximised when your techniques become second nature. Hitting bags isn't as good as you don't get punished for mistakes but you do get to practice your techniques on a very solid target! Sparring against someone is half of it, the technique is the other half.
When u kick a boxer in the legs on their approach they are like a dear in the head lights in my experience.
Well, we should note that historically, having been taught in the military, and with the old English boxers of the 1700s and 1800s having also been "well-rounded" in both wrestling and fencing, boxing itself is a "martial art," just not a "traditional" or an Asian one. ;-)
furthermore, "traditional" asian martial arts are actually younger than boxing, though pretend to be like something ancient
whoever said to him that boxing is limited in the real world is wrong. aside from the everything said here boxing is a solid foundation in mixed martial arts jeet kune do etc and its good at two ranges of combat.
Choy Lay Fut does teach great bare knuckle boxing.
If I Have to Choose a style to Street obviously Dutch Kickboxing that are Kyokushin + Muay Thai and I will train with Makiwara every day.
I been tryna tell ppl,boxing is just perfect.every martial art needs to incorporate boxing within them,but the problem is alot of martial artist WANT to stick to tradition and not evolve,martial arts was never about sticking to tradition but rather understanding the fact that if times change,ppl will change,there mind,there actions,ppl get smarter through time,so u gotta switch it up,even the way u train.the way ppl fought back in the 1800s ain’t the same as today,this is why a lot of karate guys get beat up….spending countless time on kata,the application,3 step,when they could be doing Cardio,strength training,footwork,conditioning (not only physically to take a blow but the mind and spirit as well),drills and technique training,it’s all about learning to improve your martial art while sticking to its principles.I started off as tkd,did American karate for 3 years.my Sensi knew alot of boxing,karate may be 50%grappling and 50% striking but once I started adding in a lil bit of Mike Tyson’s left hook and boxing in changed my game COMPLETELY.it may not be complete,but still there’s a reason why boxing is karate’s rival,they tough,conditioned n hard to hit…ppl needa put sum respect on it fr,it teaches every martial art how martial artist should train if they truly want to be effective in combat along with Kickboxing and Muay Thai,having a pretty belt is one thing.but the knowledge within your head and your skill level is another
I think most of the martial arts besides bulshido ones are great against untrained opponents Boxing(or any other striking combat sport) is more applicable of course but if you get jumped by someone who knows their shit boxing will not suffice if you face an experienced wrestler if he grabs you its all over. So you still need to cross train. Boxing/Kick/Boxing combined with Freestyle Wrestling/Grappling(NoGi JiuJitsu0/Judo would be great. Honorable mention is Combat Sambo.
Again one punch can kill a person choking somebody can to but not as fast that’s why I prefer boxing
What it added in my boxing fighting style against a boxer, is kick there knees or traps there hands. And yes is 70% of fighter do end at the ground. Unless you got good foot work and some good counter. If not That's way everyone should learn some kind of ground fighting.
Personally have a base in boxing. But I think that a year of boxing with no grappling is worse off than a year of grappling with no boxing. I do believe striking should be the main focus as it takes longer to be better than the general population. But everyone, if you don’t wanna be a victim, should have at least 6 months to a year of grappling(wrestling, bjj, judo).
I disagree because multiple opponents disable grappling you need to strike and stay on your feet for the streets u don’t even really need professional grappling just defense against takedowns frfr like I won’t say don’t need grappling it just don’t need to be perfect if you can strike
i have one question i wanna get into boxing but i never boxed before i wanted to know as soon as you get into the gym and start going theres alot of training before you actually box right?
Yes
Most well run boxing gyms will not allow for you to spar right away. Not until you have the basics, such as holding the proper stance/guard, tucking chin, understanding how to properly move forward, backwards, side to side; as well as being able to properly throw the jab, the cross, plus parrying and blocking.
I have a question.
Do you have to be competitive to be good at boxing? Or to reap the benefits of self defence and conditioning?
I tell people all the time it’s the best work out in the world and of course you will learn how to defend yourself, taking it to the competitive level is a much higher commitment. Learn the basics do the work out and take it from there!
Coachvboxing.com
You don’t have to compete to be nice in boxing, learning how to box is learning how box, once you learn how to box you’ll never forget it it’s quality over quantity, I know a few folks who boxed since kids all the way up to their teens never had pro fights, but they was just so nice with it putting professional boxers that just retired to sleep in sparing, aslongs you learn how to box weather it’s in the gym or TH-cam or whatever you can and you can learn from it you’re good some people train for like 3 to 5 months and due to their genetics and lifestyle trauma etc… it’s like they’ve been boxing for years, so yeah learning how to strike and defending yourself is golden whether you’re competing or not.
@@tylique9142 Thanks for reply I appreciate it. Do you box?
@@Mraymankarate yes I box I haven’t sparred in a while honestly tho but I train to stay in shape and to stay sharpe
If you don't plan on competing, SPAR. Most people don't know how to look at another man who is trying to hurt you let alone take a punch. Spar with experienced boxers, also one class higher and one weight class lower than you, listen to your coach and get used to getting hit while also getting used to delivering combos to your opponent, you'll learn how helpless it feels to gas out and learn how to conserve your energy
what up coach, i’m wanting to start boxing and looking into doing it competitively. Is 19 too late to start? I know all the top fighters have been fighting since kids.
It all depends on what your goals are, but now is the best time ever if you were to start late with plans on making a career out of the sport. DM on IG I’ll send you some info. @Coach.V_
Anthony Joshua UK, started at 18
Deontay Wilder USA, started at 20
Just 2 bigger names taht started a bit later in life, and I'm sure there are quite a few more , so it is possible, but these guys are the exception to the rule, but also show that if you have dedication and determination, then things are possible.
@@legion162 appreciate the reply brother, much love.
Go for it I’m bout to turn 20 in a month and a half and ima do it competitively, my sister used to box and sparred with shakur Stevenson at age 24 it’s never too late
It's never to layer there's boxers that started at 28 and in their 30's. Focus,Discipline,and Dedication. Time is not real push forward.
Track is the best martial art.
Definitely the simplest 😏
Its the tool wielder not the tool.
As a martial artists myself and ive boxed. Boxing is very efficient and effective to real world practical. I also believe traditional karate, judo , muay thai , bjj it depends on how you take the art and who youre learning from. Boxing does enhance your skills as a martial artist. Judo wrestling boxing does work in the street bjj helps you not panic if you were on the floor karate and muay thai is effective is you use old school methods like low kicks knees and elbows.
I have done 5 years of Boxing training focusing on Basics, shadowboxing and sparring. I've only lost once and I have defeated every other challenger with a single blow.
Ive trained everything boxing wrestling judo muay thai tae kwon do brazilian jiu jitsu krav maga, boxing is superior it all starts wit the hands then a fight flows to the rest but thats IF they even get past the paws 🐾
I have seen kickboxers/ MUAY THAI and MMA guys that don't know that you have to exhale when you are checking a strike. No footwork, no head movement, no head covering, no 1-2, no counter attack. Basic things.
That false narrative about boxing being ineffective only came about during the past 15 yrs...
[ Since mma has risen]
Most fights end with strikes , the angles, slipping counter , conditioning , speed , footwork, etc ... are a M AJOR part of fighting.
If it's not grappling/ wrestling what else is there technically speaking
, it's striking.
The ones who can't throw hands envy most times , nd talk shit on boxers and boxing .
Quickess most effective way to end a fight is to connect with a strike [Punch more specifically]
There are 4 elements boxing is better than in any other disciplines.
① Punch
② Head move
③ Footwork
④ Vision
Pair boxing with a throwing art like Judo or even just high school wrestling. Good to go.
I think we all saw what happened to Art Jimmerson....
Anything that is only striking or only grappling is incomplete. Why would anyone want to limit there abilities in a fight? If you are a fan of boxing and want to box for fun, fitness or to compete, great. Don't box to learn how to fight.
You obviously did not watch the whole video before you commented. I said if you had to choose ONE style of fighting to cover the most ground in the shortest period of time that is not a belt oriented system boxing gets right to the point quicker than any other form of fighting. And I have spent years doing Muay Thai and jujitsu amongst other martial arts and I can tell you that after a few months of training boxing will have you more prepared most more quickly than any BELT ORIENTED SYSTEM. And you saying that it's not effective for FIGHTING is Insanely inaccurate
@@coachv3436 why would you be limited? There are plenty of mma gyms. If you give a set of twins 6 months of training. One just boxing vs one in mma who will win in most situations?
What about Muay Thai vs boxing. Besides that, I think it's necessary to learn at least stand-up grappling (wrestling/judo/sambo etc.) cause its way too easy to break your hand punching someone. You don't have gloves and hand wraps in an altercation.
Remove gloves and wrap. Now try to block punch with your back fist and try to punch full power in bare knuckle.
My daughter is 12, tall slim with a nice face. She’s not interested in damage and karate is perfect for her.
There's a video with a 5 vs 5 boxers on one side and BJJ black belts on the other sides and the BJJ guys were destroyed by the boxers. Also there's a video of a one armed boxer destroying a kungfu expert who had the option to kick or punch.
I always find those experiments pretty interesting. I guess it does also depend on the individuals involved but across-the-board on the same physical level I’m not surprised lol
20% boxing and muaythai .50% stand up grappling- 30% ground. That’s the golden ratio for time allotment for each to gain enough skill to be able to handle yourself.
You are close to the mark but forgot that boxing with an opponent over time can and will turn your brain to mush, even with protective equipment on you still can get your brains beat up! However that is a strength also, so with boxing you still get that groovy foot work and the bob and weave with the head is also very practical for the street, but overall me thinks the best one martial art for the street is a combination of boxing and Judo. Nothing hits harder than concrete, and if you learn to unbalance and throw some jerk into a hard surface they usually wont be getting up. I saw a guy with less than 6 months of judo training toss a homeless guy who was trying to stab him into traffic! Now your opponent is 3,000 pounds and moving at 35 mph!
ever seen a boxer practice driving his hand between a man's clenched together thighs, grabbing the testicles and SAVAGELY pulling back and up with that handful? Old-school TKD fighters practiced doing so dozens of times per day. Real deal karateka train to kill you with a single move. not beat on you for minutes and have nothing to show for it but a broken hand and the other guys having a fat lip and bloody nose.
Any martial art and boxing i as good as the person doing it in the circumstances on the day i think in all honesty there are so many variables.
Yet all the raged trolls online will try tell you otherwise ,some of you might(or may not) remember that viral video from like 15+ years ago on TH-cam with a man getting jumped by multiple people one by one outside of his car? he sent all of them to sleep and he was just boxing using his hands…
Dope
Dude Boxing is a Martial Art it's the ultimate Martial Art.
Thanks for your feedback, but it’s a combat sport not a martial art. They both involve fighting, but the structure origins and purpose is totally different.
Mike Tyson himself cannot stop a clinch… if a judoka or jj guy clinch you, you’ve already lost. They don’t practice striking bc they don’t need to.
Coach V should a beginner be sparring in their 5th day?
Well....if they know how leg checking from low kick and know take down defence
Boxing was good in MMA & Muaythai due to how they know how to apply it (mention above)
Even JKD like Bruce lee was Inspire by Boxing & Fencing
And In the end Boxing still consider Martial Art & Self defence that became a popular sport
Any form of martial arts & self defense is good & its good. I box & from what ive seen i love striking more then grappling or wrestling/bjj. You always start on your feet & most likely never wanna be on the ground in the real world for a street feet. I have & seen other boxers piece up bad mma & bjj guys
Everything you said it’s great coach .but I have seen different types of fighters in the French legion but guys who know boxing and hace some basic of kicking I seen then do better than most .
Muay Thai is the shxt. However, the Dutch vs Thai wars proved the utility of strong Boxing. Get your hands up with boxing, then add in your other weapons because it’s going to change your stance etc once you throw in clinch, knees, kicks and elbows.
Then things will further evolve once you consider open hands, headbutts, and concealed weapons.
Aaaaand things will evolve again once you add in Wrestling / Grappling. Wrestling is the most successful base art for MMA because they pretty much always get to dictate where the fight is going to happen.
If your worry is remaining standing but hitting the other guy with The Earth - then Sanda is a good content to start watching. It’s like if you combined Muay Thai and Judo, but, not limited to that comparison either. And they do not go to the ground. Purposely. It’s from the era of bladed infantry: you go down you die. So there is not “sacrifice” throws like Judo, or pulling guard like JJ and the takedowns must be FAST!- you get like only 3 secs to clinch or grapple (Kuai Jiao, The Art of Fast Throwing).
🥊💪🏻
Bruce Lee said it almost the same
the worst thing about striking arts is a brain damage that you will get in any scenario.
if you are older than 20 and your job depends on your mind / brain / intellect (don't know which word fits the most) - striking arts are not the best choice.
maybe grappling not such effective, but it keep your brain safe much better.
sry for bad engrish, not my native.
Hi can you progress in boxing training once a week?
Not very much. You would honestly have to spend at least three or four days in the gym per week on a late note fighters are in the gym six days a week on average.
@@coachv3436 what if i do once a week but for a long period like couple years will be some progress overtime?
@@lgstyli374 Do you have a punching bag? As well as a speedbag and jump rope? If you have the equipment, then just repeat the exercises at home along with shadowboxing when you can't make it to the gym.
I use to box but stopped over a decade ago. But I have continued with the exercises as I have a punching bag and jump rope. I'm also looking to get a speedbag soon. Even if people don't want to box forever or compete, the workout is very effective and should be continued on a permanent basis.
@@lgstyli374 You can shadowbox at home. But do you have a punching bag, speed bag and jump rope? When you can't make it to the gym, just repeat the workouts at home if you have the equipment.
A heavyweight in my gym is only there 3 times a week at most. He's 2-0 now as an amateur.
Boxing is just a sport not self difference and in ancient greece they use to box nude.
Big props to saying Tae Kwon Do right
Accurate
When I was younger, I used to box didn’t have a lot of boxing matches. I used to spar the champ . Before I became a Christian I had lots of street fights I didn’t start them, but I spent a lot of time and nightclubs and bars and people start with me. I can tell you is really awesome for self-defense .
Boxing, traditional ju jitsu, some kicks. Old school self defense
It's true you'll learn boxing enough to defend yourself and give you an advantage over most people in 6 months. Law enforcement Id say grappling is important restraining and arresting resisting people. Grappling isn't mandatory for the police and so many deaths would be avoided if it was. Can you fight if you don't grapple no you can't can a grappler without striking no he can't.
@LimosineAndPEETZA92when suspects, criminals are resisting knowing grappling helps police officers so much. I believe most unnecessary deaths by Police are because largely not having the skills to deal with the situation.
@LimosineAndPEETZA92 Tyre Nichols a prime instance of a scenario where grappling is better than boxing punching suspect. Beat to death because officers didn't have the skills to restrain him. George Floyd died because officers didn't have grappling skills or knowledge. Edward Bronstein the same reason. You need striking but you need grappling taking down suspects restraining them is a weekly thing with police.
@LimosineAndPEETZA92 there's a huge marketing scheme surrounded around BJJ. I've done most of the mainstream martial arts and allot to a high level. Definitely noticing the average person is doing BJJ in a fight. I agree need hand skills
Boxing IS a martial art! As long as you train Muay Thai, boxing, wrestling BJJ or any combination of those 4 you'll be alright
Only problem is using boxing/striking in self defense situation can send the attacker to coma or he can hit the concrete and die and boom I'm in prison for life. All my dreams and ambitions are flushed down the gutter.
Really? better then Judo?
I agree that Boxing give you a lot cardio and good hands to defend i disagree is better that other Martial Arts especially Judo and BJJ i know they have they're flops but a lot of them will trow the Boxer in the groudns so badly happen in the streets and MMA fights.
Boxing+Bjj = Nick Diaz
Boxing IS a martial art…
My man all the way, boxing the best combat sport EVER and hardest! I mean, try to show to 20 kids some mad boxer skills who hitting bag and jumping rope, hitting pads and sparring and all other martial sport, I think all will look at boxer, because that is most savage and most attractive and most efficient combat sport! It is not strange and accidental that boxing has always attracted the most attention of the public out of all combat sports, and it will always be like that, just look, who knows from the general public except people who do not follow these sports for a wrestler, bjj, judoka, kickboxer, while for everybody knows the world's boxers - not to mention the big names of the sport!

I completely agree. I've trained in many martial arts over 20 years, but Boxing takes the cake for street defense and conditioning.
Boxing is hard and pain is guaranteed! So is life... I keep coming back to the gym, even when I keep feeling awkward and defenseless against any mediocre skilled boxer... But I keep coming back.
Me the same thing :)
Me too
I love boxing met a guy from japan who noticed how good I was at jump rope come to find out he has been boxing over 20 years has been teaching me soo much my stamina is growing soo much it’s insane I love it and I feel soo much more confident if someone attacks me just to avoid the attacks rowing slipping evading just with body sways blocking parrying it’s soo fun at the same time even when sparring I bought my coach and I some head gear we spar lightly it’s about learning not going all out until I have a match even when I get tagged up I learn soo much how to read my opponent my reaction speed I highly recommend boxing 🥊
learn to kick the knees and shins as you cover up with your forearms. Stand sideways, in an "L" stand, knees bend, rear knee pointing to your rear, almost no weight on your front leg. Glide or skip when you move. Try to never cross your legs. Use stop kicks with the inside edge of your foot, front kicks with the ball of the rear foot and side kicks with the cutting edge of the outside of your lead foot. Once you bust up his leg, he'll be on the ground and then you can literally kick his head in. Avoid kicks with the shin or the top of your foot, other than to his nuts, cause you'll probably just hurt your foot and kicking with the shin lets the opponent get too close to you.
In a self-defense situation, you want to be competent in striking and grappling, and having a good 40-yard dash is super important as well!
I agree with everything said. I'm from Kazakhstan and have been doing boxing since school. Later I transitioned into judo and bjj. In real life scenario boxing helped me in self-defence on multiple occasions. In my experience all the fights started in places where I less likely expected it, i.e at home, in a bar, pub, restaurant, shopping mall, on the way to home or work etc. To avoid a series of punches and to stay conscious even if some good punches landed on my head or body is a key ability that boxing gave me. Once the back of my head hit the edge of the toilet unit, but still I was able to get up though I felt the wave of shock went through all my body (a similar experience when you've been knocked out).
Yes, because if you're attacked especially if you are taken by surprise you might have to weather the storm and take a couple punches.
Another good thing about training in boxing is you learn to roll with punches or cover up so you aren't taking the full force of the hits. The harder you are hit the more difficult it is to defend yourself. Take the least amount of damage and the sooner you can recover and fight back.
right, it would never OCCUR to me that a fight MIGHT start in a pub or bar! what a maroon
I don't know about better? I do believe if you combine boxing and judo. You really got something now.
Or Muay Thai/kickboxing and BJJ/Jujutsu. Winning combination.
@@punisher7772I don't think Muay Thai/ Kickboxing is anywhere near boxing.
@@francismurage895 LOL
Yeah, keep thinking that until you are kicked in the leg and knocked out by a spinning elbow.
@punisher7772 MT is the goat. They're shins are like clubs
@@francismurage895 you do know a guy got his skull fractured by a flying knee in the UFC right ?
A street fight is similar to a gunfight in that it's usually the first hit on target that wins. That's where a trained boxer has the advantage over other martial arts re; hand speed, movement and distance management.
Great point. Most boxers are more inoculated to damage from strikes, than the average person, so they can immediately counter as opposed to most people who just fold after the first clean shot!
Boxing with wrestling and judo are a safe bet in a self defence situation. Also incorporating Japanese ju-jitsu would help. I want see a combination of Boxing and Karate.
There's just a limit to how much time the average person can put into training, but yes you are right of course.
Boxing is great for the street knocking people out and you are also used of getting hit to the head.
But you forget that you can break your hands to because no hand wraps and big gloves to protect them .
But Boxing is above BJJ because fighting on the ground can be dangerous, when there are more opponent.
I think Judo is equally to boxing because every fight can get close so with Judo you can trow your opponents with a brutal force to the ground !
🥊🥋💚
Ull only break ur hands when you’re punching something like the head because ur fist are designed to punch people ion the face and if in Texas get brass knuckles
