JJJ or Boxing

[holytriforce]

Here is my postion, im taking either boxing or JJJ. Being that they are very different i need some advice, what would be the best option for me. With boxing I like the fact that you could compete and its great for conditioning. With JJJ i will have an opportunity to work with Willy Cahill which according to many various sites, he is a very good instructor. I am 17 years old and I think 6-7 months i might have to switch clubs or dojos due to college. What would be my best option for my situation and interests? I am going to JJJ for a trial class and heading to the boxing club tomorrow.

Here are the sites

What are you looking to achieve from training? Knowing your goals will make it easier for you to decide, and others to give you advice.

Im interested in staying in good shape that i know boxing will give me but i do like the joint manipulations and throws of JJJ. I like to throw punches, not sure how many strikes JJJ has?? Is JJJ all throws and submissons?

There are strikes in JJJ, however you wont be focusing on those has much as if you were doing boxing. And certainly boxing is an excillent way to keep fit.

After you check out each of the classes, go with which ever one strikes you as more fun, or fits you better. Good luck to you!

Hey holytriforce,

I see you are listing "boxing" has your style now. Does that mean youve made up your mind?
