Boxing vs Karate & Taewkwondo

[ThePunchingBag]

W.T.F. is olympic taekwondo and it is full contact.

The difference between olympic taekwondo and olympic boxing is they don't wear any padding on their feet and a kick is much more powerful than a punch.

Olympic Taekwondo is so bad. It doesn't even come close to real fighting.

It's the equivalent to competitive footsie. This is coming from a guy who studied TKD for 3 years after learning other Martials Arts.

Seriously, a pro Muay Thai fighter would fck up any of those TKD gold medalists.

Try Filipino Martial Arts of Kali, Escrima and Arnis....what we know as Western Boxing was really influenced by Filipino Boxing in the early 1900s. The pre-1900s boxing was like those old British Boxing type.

Please see Dan Inosanto, the legendary teacher and practitioner of Jeet Kune Do (Bruce Lee's only student who was certified in his Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do, The Tao of Jeet Kune Do and then some).

He is also a "learned" martial artist to have have trained with at least 30 Filipino's Bladed arts, boxing, wrestling....and with Muay Thai (under Master Chai Sirusite), have his own MaPhilIndo Silat (revival of the Majapahit Empire arts of Malaysian, FIlipino and Indonesian indigenious arts)..

Notice the fluidity of the Filipino Boxing Arts that influenced the Western Boxing....

I didn't misquote you on purpose, I got you mixed up with johncods because you have the same avatar. My bad.

You seem to imply that boxing is not complex or is less complex than other martial arts, I totally disagree with that.

Maybe you can expand

[SplitSecond]

boxing is one-dimensional, thus it is harder to excel at. everyone is working on the exact same things you are.

I think boxing is top 3 as far as One-dimensional(non-mixed) arts go.

Boxing is designed for the ring and not for real life. Boxing in the streets is as effective as taibo. Any military trained martial arts combatant would murder a pro boxer on the street or jungle.

[krimzon]

the street referee isn't there to break off boxing clinches. On the street the passive hugger gets dropped on their head. Watch Dawson Hopkins I and Cotto dumping Clottey. Those throws nearly killed them. Multiply that by 100

[Hitman18]

what about jiu jitsu vs boxing?

Boxing is derived from Street fighting.

I always hear boxing isn't effective in a Street fight yet how many times do you ever hear of a boxing coming off second best? As a matter of fact a guy who boxed out of my gym is now inside for manslaughter after killing a BJJ blackbelt with a single punch inside a nightclub.

Being able to stay calm, gauge distance are very important in a Street fight.

9/10 Street fights are started with a punch being thrown.

Don't give a fcuk what form of combat you do, you try trade hands with a boxer inside or outside the ring, you will 99% of the time come off second best. Your initial instinct is to throw a punch. How often will you ever see someone shoot or attempt a headkick off the bat in a Street fight?
