Is boxing good in the street?

[Faithless]

Pretty sure good ole classic boxing is one of the best arts for street fighting.

 

[James Keith]

its not very good if everyone on your street has guns.

 

[Kozbot]

This is the dumbest question ever asked ever

No, punching someone in the face hard and fast is not good in a street fight.

Sprawl n brawl.

 

[tomb330]

boxing is the probably the best, u can dodge there punches and a few hits would probably finish an average guy. i dont think i would ever kick in a street fight, would knee tho.

 

[spiderguardman]

Nah dawg you needs to train dat UFC shit.

 

[chino0503]

no.... flying knees, spiining elbows and being on your back is the best self defense on the streets....

of course boxing reigns supreme. going to the ground is one of the dumbest things someone can do in a streetfight (atleast here in CALIFORNIA!) and throwing kicks will more than likely land you on the ground. .

looks like a fellow californian knows what im talking about. boxing still applies.... it will put you in good enough shape to where you can run for a long time!!!

I've always thought the best sport for street fighting is track and field.

Random altercations start out with an abundance of tension. You cannot be tense if you're to box. I'd even say its impossible to box effectively with the initial amount of tension that occurs in a confrontation. You're better off winging bombs or wrassling. Thats pretty much all your body would allow you to do.

The 'Fight or flight' mechanism was put in place so a human being could take off like a jet and not look back, away from the immediate threat. Or to, in a fit of retard crackhead strength, wrestle the attacker to the ground and club him to death with their fists.

The Fight or Flight mechanism was not put in place for us to go 3 x 3 minute rounds of Street Fighting, lol.

Whatever makes the sucker punch a KO punch is good imo

 

[TheHegemon1]

Boxing and Judo are the best for the average Joe IMO, but like someone else said, most things will give you an advantage if you just take the time to train

 

[patrick c]

it works

Like I'm some what of a decent boxer, better than your average guy. I always wondered the same thing. Like I know the defense would be a lot different. Idk I have not really been into to many street fights. But I boxed a bunch of different people in and out of the gym and I did alright, but accutual fighting is a different game.

 

[Payak]

you wont see many boxers get whooped in the street

I don't think there's any martial arts that transfers as much into street fight ass kickery as boxing. If you can call boxing a martial art - not knocking it, but I don't normally think of it as such. They train all day at knocking people out. No suits, no ceremonies, no kata, just face punching.

And I don't do boxing, so I consider myself impartial.

 

[Payak]

im not comparing styles, i just mean 2 men walking down the street drunk, they harrass a boxer and dont realise he is one, 2 untrained normal drunk guys as that what you usually came across.
they will have a hard time with that boxer.

 

[Nak Muay Farang]

This thread is still going?

Anyway, basically any martial art will give you the edge over the average drunken brawler with the overbalancing swings.

Do you guys think that boxing can be good to use in a streetfight? I have heard and read in a few places that it is pretty bad, but what do you guys think?

Boxing is among one of the best forms of self defense for the street.

Learn to box

Not if he can't stuff a take down from a good wrestler :icon_chee

A boxer would get pummeled each and every time!
