Street Combat
On one of my previous threads, Many of you said your hands were your primary weapons. For most if not all of us, it is. Its our best defense since it provides protection for the opponents main target, ie the upper body. So I was thinking, boxing is the number 1 style utilizing your hands, and in street combat, hands are most used. Therefore, it is the best street defense style.
Legs are your Secondary weapons. No one comes out kicking first in a street combat. Its much slower than punching and reqiures more effort. If you're familiar with Kro Krop, Igor Vovchanchin, or Ernesto Hoost, you'll notice that they throw their kicks after they started it off with a punch.
Ive witnessed and have been in many fights. One fight I saw was between a wrestler from my school and some guy. Although the wrestler couldnt stike, he had great grappling skills, he broke the other guys arm. Another one was between a 1st deg. black Lyoushin Karate(one of my good freinds), and some s*** takler. My freind got his nose broken after starting off with a kick. This is the last one.... My Muay Thai friend started off trying to high kick someone, he was stupid, he slipped and fell. Then got kicked when he was down.
Where am I getting at?
for an MAist, unless youre a really good grappler or have good upper body work, then you need some cross training. Agree??
