Anybody remember the guy that was subject one of the threads way back. He claimed to teach hockey fighting. He was a tool.

[QUOTE=Sovvolf;3054596]You could probably take on a vast majority of TKD or Karate black belts with 6 months of Boxing training. To be honest without at least a rudimentary teaching or understanding of boxing or grappling in any art that's claiming any sort of self defence applicability is likely a waste of time.[QUOTE]

First of all, boxing rings inhibit any kicker since he can be corned. Secondly, boxing gloves cover up a hold lot more than MMA gloves and very hard to penetrate. thirdly, without a rudimentary understanding of kicking and distance, you will not break the distance by punching alone, and you will not be able to read the kicks. Kicks are an extra range

As for boxing, just about anything unique to that sport is idiotic to do in a real fight. You can train boxing to hone certain skills, but as a system it's perceptible to getting kneed in the face (silly head movement which only makes sense if you can only punch), low kicked to oblivion, etc.

Consider this my choice for dumbest post of 2019, and I haven't even be around but seriously there can't possibly be something dumber than this.....

First of all, you've come back after a year or so and still don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about. Second of all. You got that sparring footage yet? Because you still seem to have a lack of even the most rudimentary knowledge about fighting.

They have the worst cross-over record of the main stream combat system.

Ask a boxer to spar a high level kicker with no ring. He will not close the gap with mere punches, he will get hit when he can't hit, and he won't read the kicks since he doesn't have any knowledge of set ups.

Oh and ask him to do with without those huge gloves....

What is silly about it? Kicker just assumes a side-on stance and the boxer can't glose the gap. Don the Dragon took on several boxers.

Okay. Well seeing as we have boxers and high level kickers spar at our gym often on the mats and not in the ring it's something I've witnessed and participated in. Boxers have great footwork scary defence and excel at closing the distance. With what you're saying is that you're saving grace would be to back up constantly and throw kicks... I mean if that's it you're even more clueless than I thought.

Doesn't matter. Go to a Taekwondo school and find a legit guy. You will not land any punches in an open arena, but you will get your ass kicked trying. In a ring? Sure you can corner him, box him up. Totally different.

This is total crap. My experience says otherwise having banged with some pretty good boxers, kick boxers and TKD fighters in the past.

edit to add

You're a red belt. I earned my first black before you had pubic hair.
