Boxing or Kickboxing/MT with BJJ??
use to box years back. looking to get back into striking to pair with my BJJ. my current BJJ gym only offers BJJ. trying to decide whether to find a whole new gym to do BJJ and MT or Kickboxing or stick with my current gym and join a boxing gym as well. currently grandfathered in at a low price so I can afford a boxing gym that isn’t expensive.
thoughts?
thoughts?

If you can afford it, stay at your current BJJ gym and join another one for your striking. You built something there, stick to it.

Honestly I've found very few places can do both well and with striking I feel like that's less about making friends and more about the training that BJJ is so I'd do the split.
I'd just make sure you're doing both enough a week to make it worth the money also make sure to foam roll your ass off now more than ever.

my only reasons to switch was another great gym in my area is 5 mins away that offers both vs my current that is 30 away. but there’s a boxing gym 10 mins away from me.

I’ve seen some vids of MMA gyms sparring and the striking is almost laughable with zero technique and people just throwing hands and kicks for the hell of it.

boxing is fundamental and you'll learn fleet footed foot-work, and if you have good hands and good foot movement, you're set for most of the street fights. Learn boxing for a year or two, then transition to kick boxing/ MT. most people that train in pure MT can't punch.

The second I switched to both I've met people who are regularly winning fights and my own skills have skyrocketed.
