What is best for me won't necessarily be what is best for you. I like Hung Gar. We train in a complete system that does not require blending other systems, but also does not frown upon it.\n\nI have studied Chinese boxing for over a decade now, but have experience in Korean systems previously to that. I do prefer Chinese systems (otherwise I wouldn't be training in them!), but that isn't to say they are necessarily better than other systems; rather, they are better for me and what I want out of my training.\n\nThe great thing I have found about Chinese boxing is that they are varied and are determined to be suited for a practitioner not just based on desire of training, but also on attitude and even the practitioner's physique. Since I am of average height and have a stalky build, I am very well suited for Hung Gar, which is the system in which I train. I know of people who do Northern Shaolin who are tall and lanky and excel at it. This isn't to say that somebody like me couldn't do just as well in it, but it may require more practice and training to reach a higher level.\n\nAll that being explained, ask yourself what you want out of your training, how long you plan on training, and what techniques may come more naturally for you, otherwise, how much practice you are willing to put in for techniques that do not come naturally for you!\n\nOh, and FYI, "Tai Chi" is merely a philosophy, whereas "Tai Chi Chuan" is an actual martial art. It is practiced slowly since it possesses no basics and since doing it slowly massages the internal organs and has fantastic health benefits. This being the case, many never progress to practicing it at full speed. This is also why many seniors do it. In fact, it is joked that Tai Chi Chuan is China's universal health care! When somebody does do Tai Chi Chuan at full speed, though, it is easy to see why the translation is "Supreme Ultimate Fist". It takes a very long time to attain this level. Most Chinese boxing schools teach Tai Chi Chuan on top of their external martial arts programs.

In kickboxing(well at least thai) you kick with your shin and the power comes more from the torque(pivoting on foot twisting hip, and swinging of arms) while taekwondo is more kicking with the foot and get its power from the snapping motion of the leg.\n\ntaekwondo sparring is focus more on point scoring while kickboxing is more knockout\n\nkickboxing is practically boxing but you can use kicks, elbows, and knees too; taekwondo at least to me focus more on kicks than punches.\n\nkickboxing the techniques are less fancy and easier to learn, while taekwondo is a lil more flashy and harder to learn and tend to require great flexibity\n\nthe fighting stance and and blocking is pretty different. kickboxing resembles more western boxing with its blocks and stance; while taekwondo remsembles the more traditional eastern arts\n\nby the way i dont necessarily think one is better than the other i personally enjoy kickboxing more; however any art can be very effective

I am a wrestler... was, hard to say was. I 100% believe wrestlers will whoop a boxer generally. As far as actual fighting goes, wrestling is far superior. But, I am not a fan of watching wrestling. In tournaments I'd catch naps because it's that boring to watch for me. Boxing on the other hand, is FAR more exciting to watch. I couldn't stand there for 12 catching shots, you have to respect a warrior. And it's awsome when instead of being hit, guys like Ali, Mayweather, Robinson, Whitaker etc. can make guys miss by a fraction of an inch and be comfortable. AMAZING. I could easily go on for hours why boxing is the best sport to watch, but everyone has their own opinions I am sure my ranting will not change. But that's how I look at it. Want to learn to fight? Wrestle. Want a good show? Watch boxing.

This is a fascinating bout. Two guys with arguably the best jabs in boxing today, one orthodox, one southpaw.\nWhoever lands his jab first and keeps the other guy turning, wins the fight.\nMy pick is Winky.

i want to see the best fighters, and the better fighters are going to do mma.  It's tough watching boxing when you know the best boxers probably would'nt have a chance in a cage, so my money will never go to see 2 guys pound each other for 12 rounds then have a decision go to crooked judges.

Neither, but if I had to choose, it would have to be punched. Kicking hurts too much.

I guess Van Damme.\n\nEx world kickboxing champions tend to be quite hard.

Well it is certainly to taste. We find this in current boxing judges and judges throughout the history of the sport as some place more of an empahsis on certain elements. Of course clean effective punching is the primary factor but in close rounds it can really depend on where you are viewing the fight from, along with your preference for style. Its important to remember the compubox numbers arent available (to my understanding) for ringside judges so sometimes closer rounds are even tougher to tell. Likewise tv audiences may not get as good of a feel for who is throwing more effective punches as those who see the fight live. \n\nPersonally i like guys who dictate the pace of the fight. Sometimes this means its the fighter who makes a puncher into a boring fighter. Sometimes it means its the guy who drags the boxer into a brawl. Controlling the terms the fight is on is in my opinion a very important factor. Though sometimes this means the fighter is doing more countering if that fits the style and speed of the fight they want, it should be taken into consideration.\n\nAlso theres no crime in scoring tie rounds...

I think the most useful one is krav-maga but beside it i would choose muai thai because you get VERY strong and u can take a lot of punishment and itll be the easiest to employ if someone is fighting u in a street fight

Why do you keep asking the same question? I don't box. I just spar with my husband sometimes. It's great exercise and it helps me appreciate actual boxers more because it takes so much skill and dedication. Hit you up for some cash? Sure, give me twenty bucks.

I used to fight, but now I just hang out and watch fights.  I was simi-pro for 4 years and during that period, I never lost a fight.  The first advise I would give you is;  This piss me off thing needs to go, as this will get your a*s kicked good!!!  You must be in to it mentally as well, as physically.  I used to love it when someone lost their temper with me.  I wanted them to loose it, and charge me like some bull.  That is when I would knock their a*s out.  DO NOT ever think you fight better when you get mad.  That has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard.  Set you off?  Are you kidding me?  You'll get your a*s knocked out in a hurry!  If you wish to hit hard, then you must work with a bag.  One of those big swinging bags.  The small bag is for getting your speed up as in speed bag.  The heavy weight of the big bag helps you to learn to move weight with your punch without breaking your wrist.  This is why one tapes their wrists up before a fight.  When fighting, you must try to punch through the object you are hitting.  What I mean by that is; to step into your punchs, and put you weight into the punch.  The idea is to send your punch through the object you are hitting, and using your weight to push it through.  It's kind of like driving a nail with a hammer.  You can either bang at the nail, or you can let the weight of the hammer drive the nail for you.  It takes much practice to unserstand what I'm talking about, and punching something as practice to perfect the punch.  When fighting, you can tell where a hard punch is coming from, by watching the weight shift to that foot as the punch is being thrown.  I used to pay close attention to the other boxers feet.  This way I knew where and how hard the puch was coming at me.  Throwing a knock out punch is different than jabbing to set up the punch.  Lets use a uppercut as an example; what you are trying to do is; pick the person up off the ground, but you are trying to lift all there weight with your punch.  You know that just the punch will not lift the person up without using your legs to get strength to pick them up with.  I could talk for days about this, but I'm not going to.  Just know that a mad (pissed off) person makes mistakes, and when you get into it with someone who has training, you cannot afford to act without thinking.  The best thing you can do sometimes is let the fight come to you, and act accordingly.  You must assume the person you are fighting is going to kick your a*s, and you are there to defend yourself from getting knocked out.  Always assume the other person is better, until they prove it different.  The very person that's going to teach you a lesson, is the person you most think you can beat.  You will see what I mean.  You can't beat someone if your eyes have been beat shut.  The best thing to do is; fight defensively, never get head strong, or loose your cool.  You may think you fight better when you are pissed off, but that will get your head ripped off your body, believe me!  By the way, my neece fights professionally.  She fights out of a Gym in Columbia SC, and has fought Layla Ali before.  Layla knocked her a*s out, and I think that was because she was over confident, and had no respect for Layla.  I told her, she must change the way she fought in order to beat someone better than her.  She didn't listen, and got knocked out.  Now she is training her behind off and trying to get another shot a Layla.  If you are serious about training and becoming a boxer, then learn some skills, and train even harder than you think you can.  Running down the road a 4:00 am doesn't win fights, but it does get you in shape to go the distance.  I hope I have been some help to you.  Good Luck!!!

Milpitas Health & Fitness just recently started a kickboxing class.  I hear it's excellent, although I've never attended myself.  I have a fried that's a great swimmer, but she skips swim practice to attend her nighttime kickboxing classes.  The teacher is also well reknowned, I think he's a professional of some sort.

Based on some of the pay per view figures from the United States, the UFC has all ready has passed boxing many times but not for all fights. Eventually MMA will be the biggest combat sport on earth because it is actually safer then boxing, it is run better than boxing and because it is more exciting than boxing. For example, there has never been a death in the UFC since it started in 1993 and there are almost no cases of the UFC or other MMA fighters being in trouble with the law which has happened many times in professional boxing. Boxing is a tough sport that takes dedication and skill to master but it's nature is just to punch an opponent in the head, which, even if you are a great boxer, takes it's toll on anyone after a few years. With MMA, you are learning not only how to box, but you are allowed to and trained to avoid being punched in the face which you cannot do so well in a boxing match. The UFC Fighters are also great role models - alot of them are just good family men who train very hard six or seven days a week and are also involved very actively in their communities.
