JerryLove Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 think styles that try to mix everything in them may look good on paper but really doesnt cut it when it comes to real fighting. I mean If you want to be an effective striker aswell as an slick grappler you should train at diffrent gyms instead of learning it all from one guy. Training at a real boxing gym for instance where you learn to throw punches properly, evade punches etc would give you some hardcore skills that translate very nice to streetfighting as in most fights starts with somebody throwing a punch. I don't understand the underlying principle behind your view. Let's assume you trained at those two gyms (Boxing and BJJ), and you have someone come up and want to learn both... you can't teach both to him, because he should be going to seperate gyms and learning from you would be just one gym? https://www.clearsilat.com
mtmaniac Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 I believe that you get better training at a pure boxing gym and a bjj school. The instructors at a boxing gym are probably better at teaching boxing than say someone that teaches both bjj & boxing. Maybe there are instructors that teach both very good but in general I think it's better to learn from specialized instructors.
