What’s the best combat sport and why is it boxing?

If you're getting into street fights you are retarded.

systema >

I find pics like this weird. Why didn't red guy have his fists guard his face? Why are both his hands down? I don't know anything about boxing but I do know that that's what you're supposed to do

Why? Isn't that just a practical application of skills you learned in your hobby? Defending your honor/your posessions/-self. What's retarded about that?

In theory, something like Muay Thai is better. In practice, there's a lot more competition in boxing (outside of Thailand). So you'll probably fight better opponents in boxing.

>kicking is honestly quite a bad idea in a real fight
That's because most people's idea of kicking are those fancy TKD kicks or even simple mt head kicks. I don't think you should throw those, but a well-placed leg kick will drop someone on their ass.

Yeah, one of those low chopping Thai roundhouses would lay most normies on their asses

i sparred the pro in my gym yesterday, my nose still hurts from a stiff jab, i really hope he wins in his next fight. I honestly love sparring people that are 100x better than me, it really helps me learn.

1. Boxing is really tiring
2. timing
3. different stances/styles have a hands down style which means more risk and more reward (because its hard to see punches coming from down below.

personally i think boxing is superior to fuck up normies, just a couple of jabs or a 1-2 and that's it, you don't need anything more than that to beat the average person on the streets, also anything more than that and it would be overdoing it and get you in some serious trouble, considering that unless you live in the niggering you will hardly ever get into an actual figth, the cances of you meeting another fighter are basically 0, but in the 1 in a billion case that you actually meet another fighter, then yes muay thai wins thanks to leg kicks, unless to height and reach are too big then boxing has very little chances against other fighters.

because it keeps all the cucks out of muay thai and wrestling

Getting into a situation which would necessitate such an action in the first place is what's retarded.

all boxers i know are mad slavs

How do I unlock my full strength and potential?

Climb koren's tower and drink the sacred water

>getting mugged
Hurr you put yourself in the position durr

It's just whoever recently got to America and is poor. First it was the Jews, then it was the Blacks, then Mexicans and now it's a lot of Russians.

>not just running away
Man I did MMA for years and if I get into a situation where I'm being mugged I'm either pulling my gun or running away. IRL hand to hand combat is real fucking risky. You're gonna get your jaw broken, or break your hands, or both.

I second this. Your chances of getting hurt or hurting yourself are significantly higher if you go all fisticuffs. Either run or put a round in their skull. Both of those actions are the least risky.

I can't think of a better sport apart from wrestling maybe. I used to be an active amateur boxer, pretty much boxed all my life. At some point there were even talks of preparing me for the Olympics. Back then I didn't really like boxing because initially my father made me go and up to this day people tell me how I wasted talent because I stopped giving a shit about boxing during my last high school years. But honestly, talent and mindset play a greater role than most think. Things like Reflexes, power and speed are 90% talent.

>''I'll break my hands senpai UwU
>not simply hitting walls and other hard objects for several years until your knuckles double in size and hardness
The human body has such a great potential to become nearly unbreakable the more it is damaged but you pussies never use it desu.

Don't go to shitty areas
Have situational awareness

most fights end up on the ground so i wouldn't pick boxing but really depends if you got crazy hands you know the fuck out whoever is trying to throw down but that is most likely not the case

Based.
Poor people will always be overrepresented in boxing because getting punched for a fucking living isnt what your normal well-off person is going to want to do.

I do it as a semi-serious hobby, but i am going to college, not trying to make it my full-time job.

We arent all shaolin monks you autistic fuck. We have lives other than physical training
