Welcome to the Martial Arts Journey UA-cam channel!
My name is Rokas. I'm a Lithuanian guy who trained Aikido for 14 years, 7 of them running a professional Aikido Dojo until eventually I realized that Aikido does not live up to what it promises.
Lead by this realization I decided to make a daring step to close my Aikido Dojo and move to Portland, Oregon for six months to start training MMA at the famous Straight Blast Gym Headquarters under head coach Matt Thornton.
After six months intensive training I had my first amateur MMA fight after which I moved back to Lithuania. During all of this time I am documenting my experience through my UA-cam channel called "Martial Arts Journey".
Now I am slowly setting up plans to continue training MMA under quality guidance and getting ready for my next MMA fight as I further document and share my journey and discoveries.

An average boxer will smoke anyone who doesn't train, it only gets risky when fighting someone from another discipline but let's be real most legit fighters aren't getting into random Street fights
I know that one martial art isn't complete or 100% perfect but what is best in case you're against someone from another discipline?
Bruce Lee had it down in the 80s brother. He had said to not marry a single martial art, but rather to explore and adapt to all martial arts. No wonder he was way ahead of his time
You can say that about every martial art, even aikido or other bullshido's. If you know ANYTHING, you are better than a normal regular person who knows nothing
@@LeOrioN7factually incorrect. Try that crap on someone in real life and you’ll get knocked out faster than you could possibly imagine.
@@corncobbob2326I think that training the Gracie style bjj with emphasis on slipping punches, closing the distance, taking the opponent down, and submitting them is ideal. I also think that training jiu jitsu with punches is critical. Not real punches because that is dangerous, but soft blows with those puffy mma gloves. Search grace jiu jitsu training with strikes. Hope this helps and have a great day.
I agree with their statement. Most altercations are gonna start 1 of 2 ways. Someone's gonna try to punch you or someone's gonna try to grab you. Boxing is great when dealing with someone trying to punch you, but it's severely lacking when it comes to takedown defense.
What's the first thing you do in a fight? You can always create distance to stop someone from trying to take you to the ground. Two really good ones are boxing and Muay Tai. Both of those rely on punches first. Which answers my question. The first thing you do is throw a pumch
Yes and no. You have to be able to close the distance. With a good striker, that’s a problem.
This idea that a boxer never grappled is not the case anymore. Here are 3 pro boxing champions with grappling skills. Bud Crawford is 36 years old and undisputed in 2 divisions. He’s a 3x state wrestling champ. Regis Prograis is a black belt in BJJ and Rolly Romero is a judo black belt with 10 years experience in Judo.
The idea of the pure striker or grappler is over with.
I dissagree a boxer vs a wrestler is a different story but against an untrained person there going to drop there guard to tackle and get knocked out and it's not like u don't clinch in boxing
@jopalo31675 I agree that the idea of a pure Striker overrated, but you're forgetting the original question, "How well does boxing work for self-defense?". A boxer with grappling skills is the highest S-tier in my opinion. But they're not talking about that.
@@Aydenkayeboxing clinch is basically a hug till the referee separates you
Boxing is more than enough to drop normal dudes out there with ease. I get that if a boxer runs into a mma fighter, muay thai fighter, or even BJJ specialist, the boxer might be at disadvantage of being one dimensional. But I have never seen a street fight where both are trained fighters, most of them are just average people with no training experiences.
And if the fight ends in grappling by instinct, both dont have the experience so the boxer isnt really losing anything by training boxing
@@levoderso7469true said
Bjj is also one dimensional
I have never seen a street fight that you couldn't avoid with a bit of politeness OR didn't involve a group of people with weapons.
Boxing is two dimensional!!!!
Martial arts is Multidimensional!!!!
The head movement and faints you learn as a boxer are an very underrated skill and also the timing of your opponent and clocking the distance etc .. those are some very useful fundamentals
Unlike competitions, in a real fight there's a lot more pulling, pushing and grabbing while throwing haymakers in the middle so it's very necessary to know some grappling like elementary judo or sambo even if you don't learn jui-jutsu. Last thing you want in a street fight is to be on the ground. Oh and elbows and knees are the most effective in fights like this. Normally untrained people try to rush in, close the distance and punch you but if you can get in a clinch, its very effective at ending fights
Boxing trains you to take hits like nothing else except Muay Thai. Although boxing gyms also tend to attract nutcases who spar hard almost every session. Every person I've met who seriously trained in boxing was very tough but also a bit crazy. Probably makes them more ready for self defense compared to someone who trains martial arts as a hobby, but that can be said of anyone who takes their martial training seriously. I'd say if we're talking of singular, pure martial arts without mixing it up, judo is one of the best for self defense, since it involves throws from an upright standing position and manipulation of clothing. Also, every judoka ranked First Kyu or above that I have sparred with was built like a marble statue with inhuman grip strength.
Totally right
I trained both boxing and mma
It's obvious how boxing attracts low classes "all do respect" while mma wad the nice college dudes who wants to post pics
boxing sparring was more of a prison fist fights made me a whole different man
I'd say Graeco-Roman Wrestling is up there too, basically no-gi judo.
@@carlossssssss5492 yeah imho the top 2 will always be wrestling/judo. Yes even non greco-roman you still master learning how to shoot for takedowns and will be able to take any average guy down easily.
Boxing would be third though at that point really any striking art such as muay thai or kickboxing would be slightly better since it trains almost all the striking variables and helps you understand distance management for kicks (boxing does not take that into account). Though in a street fight against a non-trained dude it would suffice.
Take any high level world class boxer and put him against any decent local wrester and the wrestler will still win in a street fight. That's how effective and important wrestling is.
one thing that’s very underrated in a street fight (which you should never get into) is the head movement that’s required to box the average person will be gassed after like 30 seconds being able to dodge those haymakers they will throw is all you really need
Boxing is most valuable for its training mindset, for certain. The techniques are sound, but if you're ungloved you don't want to punch like a boxer too often. It'll work, but you're liable to injure your hand frequently fighting like that ungloved. Worth it to save your life, obviously, but if you can apply a boxer's training mindset to a more varied system I'd say you should.
The reason boxers were kicking butt against karate guys and others back in the day is that when boxers train they actually hit eachother and not pulling punches. Katas and lt contact doesnt train you how to hit or getting used to taking a shot. Alot has changed but you really only need 2 styles...striking and grappling. You're prepared for approx 90% of the population.
best self defense is muay thai.
I mean muai Thai is basically kickBOXING with some kicks
I agree with the opinion that boxing is excellent for self-defense if you also have some experience with basic grappling.
It is the perfect foundation.
It's the foundation, and the basics are lethal, that's why so many people even to this day get knocked out by punches boxing with a bit of everything is the most effective martial art that's why sambo or MuaiThai are based on it
I agree with Icy Mike,and somewhat with the others.
My argument is Sumo. Hear me out...
If you are only fighting when it's a smart idea, then the most important things are to be able to stay on your feet, and control distance while making it tough for your opponent (or opponents) to do so. Even amateur Sumo is full contract and it's practitioners train hard. There's a reason why Sumo started as a training exercise for professional soldiers (Samurai) and most martial cultures had some version of "hit the ground or move too much and you lose"
Boxing, Judo and Combat Sambo is a good mixture
These arguments are funny. 1) Never get into a street fight. If you have to fight, fight to get away, not to win. 2) Guns, Knives etc do not care what martial art you know. 3) It’s not worth it.
I like boxing because of the emphasis on footwork, if you focus on the movement, it can start looking like magic, but I do like my kicks quite a bit, also boxing is a sport, not a martial art.
As long as you’re a big dude boxing is all you need, just imagine someone the size of mike Tyson throwing heavy punches
This is like Kickboxing and MMA with Rules and Points. Nice TV show for amusement.
Boxing and wrestling
Lucky for me, I’m in a gym training Striking and BJJ
If I would need to pick one, it's probably Silat. You have a nice skillset against average person, against someone somewhat-trained and even against knife
You would probably lose against Muay Thai or something, but on average I think it's great
Ive been learning Brazilian jujitsu and boxing might also go back and do more taekwondo
I boxed most my life, competed , and must say boxing is a sport. It's not fighting.
It develops attributes of evasive movement & quick eye to see strikes in slow motion which helps in unarmed self defense.
But it's not fighting. It's a sport.
Self defense requires training to defend against most common criminal attacks , which involve weapons & multiple attackers
I think you've never practiced boxing after calling it a sport. What would you pick for self defense then? Just curious
I'm a believer of getting a good trainer. Boxing is great, if you live in the US. But living in Thailand like me, muaythai is the only way to go. You may add BJJ later, but pure muaythai will suffice.
I started out boxing as a kid. But learning Muay Thai has been the best thing for street fights...mixed with rasslin dumplin people on the noggin helps
I would say wrestling/judo + muai Thai is best you can get for self defense. I placed wrestling/judo but would rather go for judo as it is easier to learn and you don't have to be build like wrestler plus it also teaches Katame-waza i.e. leavers, chokes etc. and if you can get to traditional judo school they will teach you atemi-waza i.e. strikes and kicks.
Muai thai is better than pure boxing or kickboxing because it teaches you how to use elbows and knees apart from fists and kicks, and in addition clinch game is amazing.
I'm far more afraid of a guy doing one technique tens of thousands of times a year since he was a teenager than I am of someone who's dabbled in a million different styles. That's why boxers stand out. Its not that boxing is especially well rounded, its the opposite, its more focused on one or two things and we all feel that pressure when we meet a boxer. But I have no reason to doubt that if all you did was master your front kick for a decade you'd be just as or more intimidating and prepared.
in my experience boxing is mid for a real fight. got into a fight last week at a dave n busters we were sober and it didnt feel like a boxing round, punches are way faster and weirdly sloppier without gloves. he was a little bigger than me, we immediately got into a clinch position and got tangled up on the floor. staff and my friend stopped the fight and the security kicked me out. i honestly believe if i invested four months into jiu jitsu instead i wouldve been better prepared
For purely striking arts its the best equally with muay thai.
Boxing goes great with judo and muay thai goes great with bjj, emphasising strong points. But any mix there is good
Grappling is in competition only. Even jiu-jitsu guys quickly toss their ground stuff out the window in a street fight and turn to fist fight. No rules and it happens fast. They don’t have time to do some cute flip on the ground. Boxing is absolute King on the street!
For me personally, the results weren't surprising at all, boxing on its own is definitely C tier. Anyone who puts boxing above that is a fanboy.
Its too limited in striking, no takedowns, groundworks, locks, chokes or weapons training. Boxing IS a practical sport for self defence, but its far from the best; it's like a base for self defence, I would favor martial arts like Muay Thai/Kickboxing or Jiu-jitsu
Choosing Muay Thai over Boxing is best choice.
Bro MuaiThai fighters when they use their hands, they are boxing 😅
@@javierbayon741 Don't forget Muay Thai fighters front kick is enough powerful to make Boxer kneel down. And their lower kick smash boxers leg.
@@superpal4954 even though I think you're a boxing hater, I'll keep my cool. What I mean is that MuaiThai are boxers too, and of course leg kicks and all but if only could use my hands I'd get to medium/short distance and not put my weight on my front leg all the time
Ain't no boxer fight in Lethwei.Instant regrets
Boxing is good but not good enough for someone that knows martial arts.
While boxers could throw hands and dodge hands they can't kick or take a kick.
In my opinion krav maga is best for street defense because it's basically and all rounder, and it includes techniques from: boxing, muay thai, jiu-jitsu, aikido, taekwondo, judo, karate.
For those who are gonna be against my opinion:
What you see about krav maga on UA-cam is not what it actually is:
The training is very like a mix of all the martial arts I specified and the sparring is brutal.
I do muay thai plus some experience in boxing and jiu-jitsu
In most 1vs 1 cases it's a goon who is coming to you. You will have an advantage.
In 1 vs many, Groundfighting does not really help you. Maybe yoou are lucky and can punch one or two in the face or throw a goon or maybe even two. But I think giving boxing a C is a bit too hard. I think Muay Thai is better because you are not so limited in training and sparring. And Bjj won't give you shit if you are alone against many. If you are a cop and try to not hurt your opponent while you are with supporters, then is is useful. When you have limited time and can only choose one Martial Art/Fighting Sport, then choose Muay Thai or (if you are against punching) Judo. It is the best for knowing a bit of everything
For shure a
The best art for self defense is sprinting
Wise words from wise men
Respect
boxing and wreslting is the fastest way to dominate any street fight. muay Thai and bjj takes much longer and isn't as realistic
Boxing judo and wrestling is best
Multiple attackers, boxing is #1. 1v1 mma is king.
I know people like to shit on Krav Maga, its what "cool guys" do nowadays i guess.
And yes, the big organisations have become so money driven that it messed up the art.
But there are many schools which still teach the real deal.
Where one training it will be a boxing class, next a wrestling class, another more muay thai. Then some days its mixed up and some days you add weapons to the mix.
So thinking which martial art is best becomes a mute question if there is a system where you can learn the combination of them but in a context of purely being aimed at self defense.
If you're only training for self defense, then it's jiujitsu for women, boxing/wrestling for men.
A boxer is not a fully established rounded fighter regardless of the boxing skills and most fights go to the ground, so then what is the boxer going to do?
So, there are two many other fighting systems to put boxing anywhere near the top because I know there are many fighting systems that can destroy the boxer...
52 blocks a boxing skill on a completely different level of boxing that was developed in prison which is very effective...
So the question is, how well skilled is the individual that's the reality of the issue...
Tell me one that can beat a good boxer with perfect takedown defense and checks kicks
Muay Thai 🗣️
Boxing is C because its the standard for everyone who barely trains. If you don’t know boxing you are cooked
Minmax self defence by focusing exclusively on boxing and wrestling. The odds that you’re going to be attacked by someone who uses serious kicking skills is almost nonexistent.
Fair point
That's true but it goes both ways. Think how much more effective kicks are when peope don't know how to defend them.
@@hookedblades6471
Was about to say
I agree there isn’t too many mixed martial artists who pick fights randomly out there so it doesn’t matter
Look at it from a street fighters perspective on the issue of self-defense... Anyway back in the day the boxers were good but had lesser skills then my marital arts abilities...And I was more feared then the boxing skilled fighters...
So it depends on the issue of skill level...
They always got into art vs art talk. It it’s not likely to be boxing vs BJJ or whatever. It’s boxing vs a violent goon in a bar. And for that, it’s ideal.
It’s not an art anymore in those instances. It’s a survival measure, you do anything to survive in those moments
100% this
Yeah and the goon would be just as clueless about grappling as the boxer is so its not like the goon has an advantage there either. In striking the boxer has the advantage, in grappling they're pretty even in most cases.
Boxing definitely useful!
agree. I mean not everyone you fought on street is a black belt bjj or a special marine who handled heavy mission. Dont need fancy kick to knock someone out on street. Plus i rather do jab, cross than 540 kick
@@syedryan6896thugs dont know martial arts, thats why there thugs
@@syedryan6896what happens when you get kicked in the leg once or twice lol! And if you try to close the distance too fast there’s elbows knees and an entire new meaning of the word clinch to a boxer
@Tay-be4ew the average person isn't a professional kickboxer or Nakmuay. I don't disagree with your statement, it's just that the scenario you're implying is fairly uncommon.
@@Tay-be4ewthis what ppl that don’t fight on the streets think, ppl watch mma n think street fight is the same lol, no one is throwing leg kicks to piece u up, most street fight very fast paced, with boxing b grappling involved
Boxing is great, if you want to beat the opponent up. But, you gotta add grappling for more de-escalation options.
Basically,we need learn basic punch,kick,and grapling to have good self defense
As a boxer, I agree with this statement. Punching+grappling, you are golden. Kicks are supplementary at best, not essential. But you still got to learn how to defend against them.
@morgueblack yeah like the saying 'a good offense is a good defense'.if we can't resolve by grappling, we certainly know where to find the off/on switch! 😀
To be a complete fighter boxing is a fundamental and probably the most important fundamental to be a good striker
It is. All other strikes are supplementary at best.
@@morgueblack yea you say that till you get leg kicked by an mma player.
I absolutely agree, but dont be foolish and neglect learning kicks and takedowns, a decent boxer with decent takedowns and kicks will destroy a good boxer who only boxes (same height and weight obviously).
@@JM.MEL_How's doing what you like foolish? A boxer that enjoys boxing will beat an someone that only train MMA because its more complete. No point in choosing that way imo. Do what you enjoy as that's what will make you go far
@@JM.MEL_so you rather be a taekwondo fighter than a boxer? Let me guess you're a BJJ practitioner
Boxing is one of the only martial arts that we have video proof of them fighting 3 v 1 and winning, it’s S tier.
Which proof? I've never seen a boxer overcome a 3v1 and I don't think it's even possible, it's C tier
@@DudeRandom55734 It is possible and I’ve seen it. In fact, if you watch more of these tier list you’ll hear people talking about that very fact.

True af
Boxing is B+.
Most of attacks will be wild punches.
Kicking is dificut in jeans.
Ground fighting is complicated on concrete.
Sometimes the space is limited, but you can find a punch.
Add some kick checking and takedown defense and you are done.
Judo throws are actually devastating on concrete compared to a mat.
Muay Thai is the expression you're searching for ;-)
@@karlnonnenfutter7726 perhaps but alot of the conditioning principles of thai are based off bro science, shin conditioning weakens the bones but kills pain receptors
Leg kicks aren't hard in jeans. Just the other ones.
So don’t wear jeans
Boxing and wrestling the ultimate combo
yea thats pretty solid but id argue that muay thai + bjj (real bjj that teaches takedowns not that stupid competition rules bs) would be better. Ive rolled plenty of wrestlers. Sure, they can take you down really easy, but then what? They have no ground game compared to bjj practitioners.
@@JM.MEL_ i agree with the takedown part, my bjj gym also trains mma so we train a lot of takedowns and i dont think ive ever seen anyone at my gym sit down wile in a fight
Boxing bjjj
You misspelled Wrestling + Muay Thai.
@@TheToeOfEarl takedown a jj guy, than what? You get choked out. Congrats.
Also armchair violence made a video about how positioning and timing trump pure technique, boxing emphasizes positioning and timing the best in striking arts.
Kick boxers dont have head movement and no proper defence against punches.boxing is great in street because it teaches you how to evade punches to head
I remember Ray Sefo had an iron chin in kickboxing. Went into boxing, got kod in 30 seconds.
@cvaja_2t352 you should really watch One champion fighting, muay thai division. You're opinion on kickboxers not have head protection might change. The fights are amazing to watch as well.
@@timexcape7961 lol, meanwhile if Sefo fought the same guy in a kick boxing match, who would win? So he fought with less tools from his arsenal.
Meanwhile boxers have no lower body defence at all. No clinch defence either. No idea what to do against elbows.
Uhhh, good luck.
in boxing you can only get punched in the face, no kicks. in kickboxing both options are available and yet kickboxers are worse at head movement is what you saying. would you also say you have at least 2 digit IQ points?
I would wrap Karate, Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Judo all together for self defense.
A normal people doesn't have time to learn all this martial arts, is better learn one or two with a decent level
90 percent of people you fight are going to box you with fist only in a fight so that makes it A+ train in what you're gonna see in real life wrestling/grappling is A+ also there both important
All these self proclaimed fighters are influencers, to call them experts is an insult to martial arts, they may be experienced but they aren’t experts, Boxing is Good for self defence, they’re talking about what? Low kicks? Elbowing? Look I don’t know what crack they’re on but nobody and I mean NOBODY who is untrained is using a low kick or anything like that effectively in a street fight, wanna know why? THEY’RE UNTRAINED, if you’re in a street fight fighting someone who is trained and can throw kicks, what the fuck are you doing?
Dude, Natan Levy is active UFC fighter, Jeff Chan fought in One Championship, and you call them influencers :))))

Combat Sambo is #1

Combat sambo has punches kicks, throws, wrestling take downs, grappling, summisions ground and pound.

Bro sambo punches like you call it, is actually boxing. Same as when MuaiThai fighters use their fists
The comments are so cringe….. if u don’t train in a martial art it’s cool u don’t have to act like u know what ur saying
I respectfully disagree with all of them. Self-defense is a separate category. What these guys are really talking about is what is best for street fighting, which is not self-defense at all. They're not considering weapons and multiple attackers, a taller, much stronger attacker. Alex Gong, a well-known thai boxing champ, was killed in san francisco in 2003 because somebody hit his car in a parking lot. He chased the guy on foot with his gloves on. When he caught up with the car, the other guy took out his gun and killed him. His techniques in the ring couldn't save him at all. He knew how to "fight" but didn't know SELF-DEFENSE.
Love boxing I think it creates bad habits for MMA or self defense but I think boxing and wrestling are perfect martial art to start with for beginners
How????? Boxing is every fighter's most powerful tool, it has been proved again and again
The best combination of martial arts for self defense is one that uses strikes and one that uses grappling. So boxing is 100% a viable one to learn
Boxing is S, just ask UFC fighter who had alot of street fight
I disagree! I believe Letwei and or Muay Thai! Hands Down! With Submission Wrestling!
also in the street no gloves, and good chance you might break your hands when you throw punches...but theyare tough and can take a shot...stance is not the best good for a groin kick or leg kick, sweep. MMA is all around better in my opinion
Good point about no gloves
Yes, definitely many boxers get used to having their wrists wrapped so they often keep their fists not conditioned, weak, and not properly folded.
Boxing is by far the best I've worked on the doors 4 years and all kicking and grappling never happens always ends up with pre emption one punch it's done also love your channel hope u and your family well
@@karate383 in Russia Chechen and Dagestani gopniks often use takedowns and smash people against the ground
So Far no youtube video of someone breaking their hand in a fistfight in the street.
Boxing Is great but not the greatest
That's why learned Kickboxing from age of 6 then movedto muay thai in age of 17
My boxe coach survived a knife Attack against 3 man!
He knocked out the One with the weapon, he broke the theet of the second and tge third ome run away
My coach still get a Deep cut on his foreharm but he menage to save his Life with boxing
How often do random dudes who start a fight try to grab people? Is it even 10% of cases? Every fight I've been in, every fight I've seen, and most fight I saw on youtube are all people standing throwing hands.
I don't think grabbing people is instinctual in a fight, unless you're trained to do this
I gotta admit, I'm scared to train bjj, seen so many horror stories of people getting serious injuries. If your knee is effed up, all the bjj knowledge in the world won't help you in a real self defense situation.
Every single street fight ive witnessed involved two people swinging wildly on each other. Do with that information what yo will
Boxing is the best for self defence from an efficiency to time perspective. 2months of boxing compared to any other martial art will be sufficient for the average person who do a great deal of damage to another human being.
Grapling isnt good in self defense scenerios, if there is more than one attacker. And in a real life situation you cant be Sure you will not be attacked while Grapling.
If you can't box, you can't fight.
People don't seem to get that muai Thai, sambo, kickBOXING, MMA or whatever. When they are using their hands they are actually BOXING 😮😮😮😮
I think the worst part about boxing is that you can have a false confidence about how menacing and strong you are... but you could argue that is the same case with every other MA... however most boxers live their life like they are the toughest shit you can find.
MMA guys can be violence junkies, but since they are training in a complete way most of them will be chill in most situations, since they will ACTUALLY KNOW many things can go against your plans in a confrontation.

Boxing is great, awesome. You learn footwork (though you will have to change it quite a bit if you intend to kick), to throw all sorts of punches... and if you are actually good, to dodge them (im not going to include "taking them" as a skill though it could be valid).
But if you ask on a boxing gym "can you fight" ? Most people will say yes, and they don`t know how to fight... they know how to punch , which is only one side of fighting.
This conception that you know how to fight because you could punch someone that doesnt know how to fight either to unconsciousness or death is a bit silly, do you get me ? What you DO know is how to punch and move around a ring.
Boxers can be great people, and boxing is a marvelous art, pointing the flaws in a martial arts is the only way to make it better.
I love natan levy
fighting spirit 💪🏾, for me the fighter matters most than the tactics used.
So what if a weapon are involved what would boxing do what their gonna do if a Knife starts stabbing them what then if your gonna run away that's effective but Knife attackers sometimes will suprise attack you what then what would boxing do then
And what would jiujitsu, or kickboxing, or sambo, or muai Thai do with a surprise knife attack? 😂😂😂😂😂
Seems to be this presupposition amongst a lot of people these days that it’s just a matter of when you get in a street fight and not if…99% of people will never be in a fight in their entire lives and in the unlikelyhood you are it’ll be a 10 second scuffle outside a bar not a prolonged UFC style match… and if you are the type of person that goes looking for street fights doesn’t usually matter how much you know one day what goes around comes around and you’ll meet someone that knows more.
I'm gonna put it like this from a Londoner. On the streets of London, would you rather an old fashioned pistol or a glock? In a 1 on 1, the old pistol is good enough in a group of people with knives, The pistol loses now and changes it to a glock. The point is with mma. You have a higher chance of survival in a street fight than if you wouldn't have had previous knowledge or had limited knowledge.
“Every fight wants to turn into an MMA fight fight”. So true

Jujitsu is for when your losing a boxing match. Its very obvious. You should ask people that are actually boxers that are actively train Jujitsu..... Like me. I will use my boxing against absolutely anyone until I'm losing the striking altercation then it's time for judo then Jujitsu... Boxing is the best martial arts for self defense AS LONG AS YOU ARE GOOD AT BOXING
Icy Mike an expert 😂
first of all, boxing is not a martial art, is a combat sport, is ok, is better to know basic boxing than nothing at a fight, but is not all, I would rate it like a c-
I guess wrestling is also a combat sport too then.
@@javierbayon741 yes it is, judo and jujitsu (japanese) those are the grappling martial arts, and as far as I'm concerned the difference between a fighting style / combat sport and a martial art is the philosophy behind that, like karate is not all about punching or katas, or traditional jujitsu is not about been the best grappler it has a philosophy and some kind of teaching method for life not just fighting
Wrestling win evey time
Unless you get curb stomped into concrete, wrestling is 100% required tho
@@momo_f_awsomeYou need to be taken down to do that.
I agree with them. When someone notices you are stronger or know how to hit, they will usually go for the legs or turn it into a grappling match. Therefore, I would say both skill groups are equally important.
Notice how two of them wanted to either take you to the ground or kick you? I think both Ryan Hover and Jesse Kemp said it best, "don't let them take you to the ground, or go to the ground". I'm paraphrasing. To me it goes Boxing, Muay Tai, and wrestling. Those three forms are badass. All three show a level of toughness that's needed in a street fight. You see a guy that looks like his eyebrows are kinda swollen or a person with cauliflower ear? You might want to rethink fucking with them
Giys no ones going to take you down on the street so just do boxing.
If you wanna see how to use Boxing in street fight or battlefield, just watch old The-A-Team Series fight scene. They combine trapping, knife disarm and Boxing punches in every episodes.
One stand up martial art + one grappling martial art is the perfect combo.
Karate + judo
Muai thay + jiu jitsu
Kickboxing + sambo
Etc
Check out Terry O'neill
And Gary Spiers.
These guys would destroy any one in front of them.
In 1970s liverpool club land.
Both martial artists
Not boxers.
Well boxers have wind capacity and stamina , something that generally most MMA fighters do not have ; except for Nate Diaz. That’s usually how Nate wins his MMA fights
The world has truly forgot what martial arts are altogether! Boxing is a sport, not a martial art! A very dangerous sport with very good applications for combat situations, but a sport nonetheless. Martial arts, by their name are arts, methods of war, there are no regulations, competitions, weight classes, rounds, the objective in martial arts isn't to score points and win medals and titles, those are sports. Martial arts goals are to incapacitate, disable an attacker into being unable to assault you and kill, if absolutely necessary. VERY different objectives and goals!
No one believe but I mastered
Taekwondo,boxing,aikido,juijutsu,judo,wrestling,kung fu(online only kung fu) ,😅
the best combination of martial arts is Muay Thai and BJJ, its a monstrosity because you can kick, elbow, knee, punch, throw, and grapple in a fight. against multiple people? always target the smallest person. but if he knows how to fight, grab ur knife
As Bruce Lee's Karate teacher said in 1968 '"Boxing is the best Martial Art for the hands, Karate is the best for kicks, Jujitsu is best for grappling🤔
