Lol boxing is nothing when you're on the ground. In a street fight, 90% of the time you end on the ground. Enjoy getting dad dicked by someone with even a basic high school wrestling background.

Unless you're from Africa, it's highly likely your country has scholastic wrestling to feed their Olympic program you dingus. Even if you are from Africa it's 100% chance that your country (or one of the cultures that makes up your country) has a folk wrestling tradition.

Let me guess, Tang Soo Do?

From a self defence perspective this makes no sense. If you are outnumbered going to ground isn't going to help. If you aren't outnumbered being able to end the fight in one punch and escape is far more likely and useful than starting a grapple.

No real comment on flailing at each other versus rolling around on the ground like a couple of retarded monkeys, but you're all doing yourselves a disservice if you never seen the movie OP's picture is from.

It's a lot better than not knowing how to throw a punch.

Not that guy, but..

Don't talk shit about my Korean martial art fuck face.

Boxing:
>Learn to punch someone in the face, quickly, accurately and powerfully. Only 2 of the three being necissary to win a fight or get out of danger.
>Learn how to avoid being hit in the face

Its literally everything you need to know if you intend on defending yourself from an unarmed assailant.

Korea doesn't have MAs if you disregard pre war archery. Everything Gorea has today MA-wise is bullshit that was made based on karate movies.

Africans, for the most part, fist fight. Well, they slap-punch fight. Culturally they stick-fight.

The Venda tribe of South Africa, for example, have an annual bare-knuckle brawl festival involving hundreds of men, shits amazing, fighting defensively is considered cowardly so guys just go out swinging. There are also no weight classes or age-group divisions. Its essentially a BTFO fest.

Oh, nevermind. Now that I see that you don't know what your talking about, I don't have to take you seriously.

>>32644672
Unless they know a real martial art, in which case you're probably fucked.

>>32643774
Not knowing how to grapple makes you much more susceptible to getting taken down and kept there because you don't know how to control somebody and get them off you.


This may come as a shock to you, but the best fighters are well rounded in their skill sets.

Define "real martial art"

Pugilism is THE Martial art that pre-dates all others.

>>32644739
Any martial art that trains in punches, kicks, grapples, throws, kinfe/gun defence, and combination attacks.

Just training footwork and punches is a start, but you're screwed if your opponent uses a grapple combo. Also, when they kick you in the dick.

>Because it is common to encounter a criminal or drunkard whom is skilled in the real world application of martial arts

Bro, you are over-complicating and hyper-analyzing what is a very simple event.

>>32644677
No. Research ssireum and taekyon. These are both quite old.
Taekwondo, hapkido, tang soo do, yudo, hwarang do, tukgongmusul are all relatively new, but they have a lot of korean influence to make them unique.

They are all quite fun to practice. If you practice them for your own enjoyment. Not because you want to be "street deadly" tm.

Boxing is a brilliant thing to learn i dont know why White Americans dont really seem into it anymore it looks like its more a Black/Mexican thing in America which is a shame while in the UK Boxing gyms are packed even just training in it for a few years and having a couple of amateur fights make a difference.
