Is boxing a meme?

My friend wants me to do boxing with him but i'd rather do Muay Thai/MMA.
Just feels dumb not grappling or using legs at all.

Have 0 fighting experience or knowledge btw.

        go for it dude.
        boxing has great fundamentals and instills the sort of discipline that carves character out of you.

        this

        Boxing and Mauy Thai each have their advantages. Boxing has much more emphasis on punching and footwork. While Mauy Thai is more well rounded since it utilizes such a wide variety of strikes from knees, elbows and kicks. If you have an opportunity to do boxing with a bro take it. You can always incorporate other materials later. To be the most well rounded fighter I would recommend learning boxing, Mauy Thai, and some grappling art like wrestling or judo. This way you can have the punching and footwork proficiency of a boxer combined with incredibly diverse striking and kicking from Muay Thai. And adding grappling ability will give you another line of defense.

        basically this anon said it succinctly
        muay thai gives you a wide array of striking that turns a hardened boxer into a formidable one. In some parts of the world they call muay thai or any variation of it's techniques, 'dirty boxing' because of the elbow strikes, the knees and clinches. Make no mistake, Muay thai is not just fancy kicking, but makes for vicious close quarters fighting with razor elbows and crushing knees.

        apart from learning to defend yourself you will be humbled by the fact you could *seriously* hurt someone and that mental burning away of pretense will give you a broader perspective on things.

            boxing you knock someone out and might accidently kill them
            wrestling you can hold someone down without hurting them

            if i feared for my life id rather know boxing
            if im dealing with some drunk idiot id rather wrestling
            personally ive done neither, so ignore this post

            look i love boxing BUT, strikers without any knowledge of grappling always lose miserably.

            grappling is OP in streetfights, especially considering being thrown to asphalt will cripple you for life.
            not that boxing is bad tho. boxing just excels in one area. and is also good for learning fundamentals.

                Because that happens most of the time. As long as you don't break the loose and unwritten rules biting, eye gouges, groin strikes - most people are going to just let the parties whose argument escalated into fists fight - and break apart the combatants when both combatants inevitably gas themselves without finishing the fight and are looking for a way to save face.

                Unless it's white vs black, then yeah - a black guys friends will often jump in and kick the shit out of the white guy if he's winning.

                Most fights are completely avoidable; that doesn't mean you'll never get into one. They start from too people getting into an argument, often with women and alcohol involved.

                While completely avoidable, it is nonetheless one of the most common ways people get into fights.

                those people are morons with little value for their own safety, and I don't judge techniques based on how viable they are in a worldstar fight video environment. If you have to defend yourself against someone unarmed taking them down is very effective and they won't be able to hurt you from their back. If they're armed, the most effective martial art is sprinting. If you're being jumped by multiple people, the most effective martial art is sprinting.

                Then you're foolish because the WORLSTAH environment is representative of a plurality, if not the majority of unarmed altercations. The most important lesson one can learn is "don't be the guy that doesn't realize he's in a fight until he gets hit."

                Usually the person that strikes first wins, as does the first person to initiate the takedown. As MMA has become more popular as the vision of how a fight "ought" to go, bystanders no longer consider ground fighting dirty, and are less likely to intervene.

            I box and this mindset is moronic. No one is trained to take punches to the head, boxers get used to it and stop flinching, but every blow you take to the head makes you slightly worse at taking punches. It's an accumulation of damage on your brain, chins get worse over time and that's why old fricks with a million fights get tapped on the chin and go out.

      Lol you underestimate how useful kicks are in a fight. I've been in fights and I've found kicks to be better than punching. I have to get close to punch someone but with kicks I can attack them from a safe distance and if they're untrained they have literally no chance of doing anything.

          You could apply the same logic to boxing: can't they simply block your punch? Yes, they can potentially catch my leg but they don't know where I'm gonna kick them. A punch will usually land from waist and up but a kick can land anywhere.

    MMA isn't a martial art, it's the mixing of them. You don't 'learn' MMA, you learn several styles which you then incorporate together to create MMA (ex. Muay Thai + BJJ).

    Ideally you focus on one style at a time. But I can't really give you an answer unless you state why you need it. For self-defense, boxing is the best to learn because it's the most practical and easiest to apply. Any moron you fight on the street will just swing for your head, and nothing will prepare you better for that than the head movement + blocking you'd learn in boxing. It's also very beginner friendly and easy to get into.

    Things like Muay Thai and Kickboxing aren't bad but they're less practical in real life along with being harder to learn. If you're looking to get into MMA as a professional fighter, they're both great bases.

      It's halfway between greco-roman and freestyle & NCAA wrestling. Unlike greco-roman, you can attack the legs with trips and sweeps; but you cannot grab the legs like freestyle. If greco-roman owns upper-body throws and freestyle owns shooting in on the legs, judo emphasizes trips and sweeps far more than other takedown-focused grappling sports. There is also some groundwork and submissions - you can win a match outright by pinning for 20 seconds. But this tends to be de-emphasized vs BJJ because - like wrestling - the ref will stand fighters back up if he thinks it is not progressing to a pin or submission after ~10 seconds.

      Of course, there is the matter of the jacket. You either love the gi or are neutral to it. There is no nogi judo competition like there is for BJJ.

          This is rare now days, much more likely to find an overly safe gym than a dangerous one.

          How exactly will a boxer deal with twenty kicks to the shins or getting choked out?

          Wrestling will take him down quicker and easier Judo is a meme

          Then why do they always need 100 rules like:
          >no clinching
          >no elbows
          >no legs or knees
          >no wrestling
          >no submissions
          >no takedowns
          >no ground and pound
          >no anything MMA related
          Whenever there's a mixed rules match. Even then the Muay Thai guy can keep up, if not win despite being crippled 99% of their moveset. You see Black folk on worldstar start seething everytime someone knows a basic double leg takedown and it instantly dismantles their fake, money laundering "sport."

          can they not simply catch your leg?

          Leg kicks, homie. If people don't train one or two good hard chops to the thigh will frick their whole day up.

          Don't get into this sperg war about
          >but boxing doesn't teach you to x or y
          You have to start somewhere, you can never learn everything and the best martial artists in the world are specialists in one art, go box with you mate and disregard the larpers who want to tell you

                As per usual in this situation the only legal safe zone is to not get involved and let police handle it. Even if you went levels of force below what he is doing Lawyers would also argue about your responsibility in some states etc. Law is a fricking hell hole of bullshit

              How often do the cops and the legal system actually get involved? It seems like two drunk people fighting is rarely worth their time, nor the DA's billable hours. And it's not like a car crash, where the parties by custom often give each other's insurance information.

              My guesstimate would be that the legal system is involved 1:50 bar fights.

                So in your experience, cops get involved 100% of the time? Is that just colored by, and I may be misunderstanding you, because you work at venues - like concerts which are obligated to have cops at arms reach, as opposed to somewhere where you need to call 911, giving the parties involved in the altercation time to flee.

                Even if you take a cynical view of the cops, retroactively arresting combatants from their ID or bartab is easy work that isn't likely to get them shot. If you think cops suck and are lazy, this is also the sort of thing they would prioritize instead of real crime.

      asians have short legs, its irrelevant, the real reason is the west saw kicks as very disrespectful and unmanly for a long time and has a long tradition of wrestling and hands, despite that there are some kicks in the west like Savate which is quite old. martial arts simply always gets repurposed, there are medieval/rennaissance manuals showing practical throws/grappling, locks, stomps to the kneecaps etc.

        that's ha sless to do with boxing and more with being a pro, every pro will have a reflex on a whole different level, but if you put a pro that knows only to defend punches and one who knows how to set up a takedown, the one with the grappling skills willahve a huge advantage, a kickboxer would be a different story, since the grappler would have to be caerful of knees which are incredible pwoerful, specially if you put yourface next to them

      This. It was in fact genius in a lot of ways by sam.

      If you remember- the first interaction with idubbz and sam was sam telling idubbz he wont copyright strike if he squats 200lbs. Sam has always seen idubbz as some one with potential to be a man but not taking that path.

      When idubbz comes - you are right - sam has him do old school "manly" activities - driving way too fast in a car, cigars, fighting/boxing, shooting guns - it was perfect to (1) take idubbz out of his comfort zone , but also (2) brings out sam's critique of modern society that he does thru his comedy - show how effeminate modern "man" is - a youtuber with a big following , and (3) comes non judgementally to show them how to be a man.

      Notably idubbz in part accepts this - he takes up boxing , but is still not fully a man - he is controlled by his gf who is using him for fame. And now sam also , like a father figure, points this out as well

    do you want to box? Boxing. Do you want to kick, knee, and elbow? Muay thai. Do you want to grapple also? MMA.

    if you want to do muay thai or MMA then boxing provides a great baseline and if you get any good you can win fights in either by being a better boxer.

      Not to other people when you start being able to recognize who a good fighter is during the sport
      but you will definitely feel above the plebs as you learn more skills above them

    How many sessions per week are good enough to be able to defend myself on a fight? Gyms here want you to be on it 5+ days which is laughable.

      here's a good way to find out. Go to sparring. Can you effectively defend yourself in hard rounds? If the answer is no, more sessions, if the answer is yes, then you're fine doing what you're doing.

    Best self defense martial art is BJJ. If you were to get in a fight with someone and you know even the basics of taking a person down and controlling them they can literally do nothing.

          sure you do have a slim chance of making it out alive when you're being 5v1'd but i'd rather be on my feet than my back on the ground when that happens.

            You say this as though the desperation football tackle isn't something you commonly see - now that the UFC has legitimized grappling as "real fighting" in the eyes of the non-combat sports public.

                people make it work anyways, you see more completed takedowns on strikers than you do knee knockouts off takedowns. Rodtang vs Demetrious Johnson is an easy example.

                Not really. While timing the knee happens, there's a reason nobody fights in a tall Thai stance in MMA - they're going to get put on their ass.

                again, we are talking about street fights. Someone with boxing/mt experience has a higher chance of getting out of that situation vs a pure grappler who will be stationary if he does engage.

                having said that, grappling on a 1v1 situation is superb, no doubt about that.

                in that case it'll probably work but you're best off just sprawling it and kneeing them as they're grounded Petr Yan style

                sprawling is great, yeah. just make sure to knock the fricker out as quick as possible because you're in a vulnerable position and is going to get surrounded fast.

            More like made him go unconscious, people tap so that doesn't happen in regulated fights dumb ass. You can choke someone unconscious standing up as well in under 10 seconds.

      There is no single best martial art it’s all down to the individual. You train in bjj but have you ever tried to take someone down that’s trying to hit you? Have you ever trained bjj when punches were involved? A double leg is high risk high reward, if you’re against a heavier person with more muscle or fat, if you fail at, that might mean you just gave them the win

    A meme is something that is happening recently, like a trend or a fashion, that isn't really good it's just everyone is doing it. While this meaning can be stretched, it's kind of weird to accuse boxing of being a meme while all this other relatively new trendy shit like muay thai, bjj or even ufc is some normal standard fighting. Meme is the wrong word, however dumb works fine, due to the slowly accumulating brain damage.

      not that boxing isn't a great base for mma but there are gyms that just do MMA now. They teach the most valuable strategies and techniques from different martial arts like boxing, muay thai, wrestling, and BJJ but in the context of MMA. For example for BJJ you're not gonna learn how to be a guard pulling butt scooter in any good MMA gym, they'll teach you to take them down, pass guard, and ground and pound and set up submissions. You'll learn striking from muay thai and boxing but with a more balanced stance instead of a long boxing stance which is weak against leg kicks or a squared muay thai stance which is weak against takedowns. People that are growing up now specifically doing MMA that can fluidly blend everything together are going to be very dominant.

        That's true, but OP's friend isn't doing MMA
        Boxing is not bad for a beginner to condition their body to fighting.

    Not necessarily? There is a real thing with simplifying what you do and practicing one thing more and more which is what boxing forces you to do. There's stories where guys get a punch so hard that with one that they knock the other guy's eye out of its' socket. Though boxing may take it a little too the extreme. Muay thai/kickboxing seems like a good alternative

      P.S.
      Also if you wanna learn to fight then mma or BJJ for grappling is probably good because no matter how good of a boxer you are if you're on the ground and can't get the guy out of your guard you're gonna get hurt real bad

      eyes don't just fall out of sockets, I watch a lot of true crime and I remember a serial killer who tried to remove the eyes from one of his victims but gave up because it was too difficult.

    The best training BY FRICKING FAR Is Sparing.
    Just going at it with another human who is resisting the shit you're trying to do to them.
    Because the reality of streetfight bullshit is that its WAY too dynamic for any 1 style to be better than others.
    The only real benefit you should be focused on is being able to know what the frick is exactly going on and what you need to be doing to lessen the bad shit happening to you and increase the bad shit happening to them.
    You can do ZERO of those 2 things without actually fricking training in any given style.
    Grappling mogs striking when its 1 on 1 and the distance is close (it fricking will be if you're close enough to punch me im close enough to grab you and there is a high fricking chance that whoever is attacking you doesn't know how to manage distance and will just Black person rush you with haymakers) Grappling is also based because you can go at it every day and not get fricking CTE by the time your 23.
    A grappler can still punch/kick/elbow without the need to be taught how to do so.

    H O W E V E R

    IF you are going against a trained person you need both. IF they know how to kickbox and stay on there feet THEN and ONLY THEN does it become super dangerous to try and taken them down and wrestlefrick them into the pavement
    IF they have freinds, fricking run away. If they have weapons, run away.

    If you are training to learn how to fight in self defense but you don't carry a gun on you then this is all a LARP. I've seen enough street fight head stompings to never take and chances and I'd rather blast a Black folk lungs out of his chest than exchange slaps with him until one of us drops. If a person is really committed to getting into a fight with you, chances are they won't have the self-control to stop themselves from mutilating your body if they knock you out. Just kill the fricker if he pushes it.
