Am i right or wrong,am i biased because i study i]karate[/i] . what's your view ?
dingyuan Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 It depends on who's the better martial artist. A better Karate fighter can defeat the boxer and a better boxer might come up on top.

cross Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 Depends on what rules your fighting under, what techniques are allowed, and most importantly the skill of the 2 fighters.
ramymensa Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 This has been discussed over and over. We are comparing oranges with cabbage Boxers would think they are better, any karateka would think his/her style is the mother of all. A beginner karateka would be defeated by a boxer with the same time in the sport. At a higher level, the implications are higher. Still it's quite a sterile subject and there are so many chances to get into another bashing style thread we don't like here in KF. World Shotokan Karate
Vito Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 well, on the street, boxing is one of the best martial arts to know. bruce lee said that himself. as for karate, dependso n the karate... most of that crap in the us boxing hands down. maybe some of those hard core kyokushkin whatevers will take on a boxer. maybe.

Shane Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Its to hard to tell for sure, a couple of hard hits can really help decide the outcome of a fight. Boxers can hit, but some can the karate student, the only problem is some karate schools are not training as intense as they probably should be and most boxing schools are training intense. A True Martial Arts Instructor is more of a guide than anything, on your way to developing the warrior within yourself!!!!!
Shorin Ryuu Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 I'd probably lose to a boxer if I fought him in a boxing match, but I think I could take the average boxer in a fight. I did box in college, by the way. Martial Arts Blog:http://bujutsublogger.blogspot.com/
shukokai2000 Posted November 3, 2004 Author Posted November 3, 2004 surely if fighting a boxer.any karate-ka could sweep his legs,smash his knee/groin/ankle etc etc the boxer would be knackerd as he is only trained in stance fighting,not grappling ground work etc...
