A change from kick boxing.

[adamh]

Hi all,

 

I've been learning kick boxing for the past 6 months and so far I'm loving it. What i really want to know is though whether there are any better fighting techniques that would be better for me. I'm a pretty aggressive person by nature and I'm in no way scared of taking a few punches or getting hurt. I'd like to get into something whereby you learn by actual fighting, kick boxing is all well and good but i can only really seem to preform well when we spa and even then you don't know how well you would react in a real street fight.

 

I know i'm fague just looking for a bit of a meaner technique and where i can get into actual competitions sooner. I can't end up with a * up face every week though as i run my own company!

 

Adam.

 

P.S first post on this forum so sorry if this has been answered before.

have you looked at other schools in your area?

 

take a look at some of the classes, stop by and talk to instructors but don't get baited into a mcdojo, PM when you find out some more info and I will try to help you out,

Maybe a Mixed Martial Arts school. a submission grappling school, wrestling, or Judo.

 

Grappling will let you compete full out without the facial damage.

 

Going MMA you might be able to train with strikes/kickboxing but compete in just grappling if thats what you want.

Yeah. Try grappling i.e BJJ, sambo, judo etc.
