Boxing hands down 100%, its the basics for self defense and offensive attacks on the street, it has the most flexibility as in you can fight on your own since you’ve got literal hands, you can ends fight in seconds if you have good shot placement or power, and the element of surprise is god tier with boxing, another thing is if you can light someone up before they get to your legs then it stuns them enough not to grab your legs where you can just keep lighting them up. And also you can run since your on your feet most of the time.

Muay Thai is retarded for self defense, why would you learn multiple different aspects of a combat sport rather than one specalised aspect of a combat method like boxing ?

The guy who has practiced boxing left hooks 1000 times is more dangerous then the guy who practiced all the different strikes in muay thai.

greco roman.
Has to be paired with good athleticism and a lot of repetition tbh the quickest way to get good at self defense would be striking

Cope, kicks are underrated in a street fight if timed well

Leg kicks are underrated, but they do not work well in a street fight setting when you have shoes on and considering your opponent is not going to stay in one fucking spot the entire time. Is he just gonna stand there and let you hit him ? No hes gonna fucking rush you anx by the time you throw the ko kick hes gonna caught u with u one leg in the air and thats up to your imagination what happens.

There is no timing in a street fight setting, the element of suprise is so high you wont even think of throwing a leg kick unless your legs are so fucking long.
 
Best time to teep in and leave a shoe print on his stomach.
Id rather use hands, more effective, better versatility, and greater flexibility than kicking. Kicking is the last thing im doing in a street fight.

if you want brain damage yeah.

wrestlers have nerve damage rather than brain damage.
I’m assuming its for self defence and wrestling is the most retarded option, great way to get your head stomped by his friend

You don’t have to go in hard matches against others, you can just do sparring or hitting the heavy bag and learn drills to adapt to the striking environment.

This is what i mean when i say boxing is the most versatile, you can go up against 2-3 people on your own better then being on the floor getting your head soccer kicked.

Muay Thai is essentially hands with a few sneaky kicks tbh. If you’ve done Muay Thai before you would know most of the time you’re using hands.

Boxing would suffice for learning self defense but the sparring would be shit for the brain

doesn’t matter, same result

you cant do anything in a 2-3 unless they are blind and disabled

literally nobody boxes in self defense, it's always wrestling.

so you train boxing but don't actually box.

wrestlers train by actually wrestling other people.
 
wrestling and kickboxing will work so well

it’s usually punches then either the person who is losing trying to take it to the ground or the person who is winning tries to slam them

Who tf cares, at least your maximising and specalising with ur hands rather than being mid with kicks and hands,
 
the best would be kickboxing

Muay Thai hasn’t been proven to transfer to MMA as well as kick boxing

Wrestling is so retarded tho, knee scrapes, oh go for a double leg take down, damn say goodbye to your knees. Want a single leg ? Guy puts you in a gullitone and your done. Take his back ? Sure he will just fall on his own bodhweight with him on top of u as ur getting down at the concrete floor with ur weight and his weight, see how that turns out….

You only need wrestling takedown defense, and good boxing to destroy anyone on the streets, thats assuming your at least 190lbs in bodyweight and not under 5”7.

meanwhile boxers either never become good or get brain damage and retire.

oh no you get more scrapes and bruises, the horror.

You’re thinking too logically youre not going to be shit with hands from doing extra kicks. Jfl at accumulating brain damage from boxing everyone at my Muay Thai gym would destroy the average street guy

Its because their retarded, they dont understand in a street fight, aggression and size always win. MMA fighters are scared at clubs and bars because they immediately remember that their human.
 
If your young then wrestling. if older then boxing

Exactly, the mentality in a street fight is so important as well you can be a big dude and have some actual strength but be a pussy while the other guy may be weaker but throw like 5 haymakers

You can never box and still knock tf out of people because you just have that in you, aggression and size. Look at ngannous striking so dogshit and still he only needs one to land and its over.

Striking is better, the brain damage is placebo only if ur a professional you actually get serious brain damage,

Not true. You dont need to even go down on your knees for all takedowns. I slammed many people down in street fights using wrestling.

Thats correct, you need AGGRESSION. If your not seeing red then your going to end up looking RED. Thats how the animal kingdom works….

he trained by actually sparring people, you hit bags.

greco-roman is all upper body by the way, you don't roll on the floor in this kind of wrestling.
