So today when i was at the gym, a guy came up to me asking about how long i have been boxing in. Then he told me that he had taken boxing lesson at a boxing gym for 6-8 months and sparring, and a couple of months in a muay thai. To learn the basics in jab, footwork, kicks and knees, hip rotation. So he would be able to defend himself if he ever needed to. He uses i think it was 3-4 times a week on a heavy bag, doing what he learned and trying to better it with the help of videos on youtube, and get his form perfect.
So i was wondering afterwards, can this really benefit him? if we take a guy who can the basics like him, and it looked fine to me when he showed it to me. Can you benefit from doing shadowboxing and bag work in a regular gym, doing circuits of boxing and muay thai, and be able to use it on the streets in self defense ?
what are you guys opinion, and anyone doing the same?
