Agreed, inb4 BJJ copers say that they're going to pull guard onto a concrete sidewalk or hard wood floor without cracking their head open

Can say it is the best, but it is very good.

Dude in high school with minimum boxing training (like 3 months) won a fight against a state champion wrestler.

Not necessarily. I believe you should train 3: Boxing for punching, Muay Thai for kicks, elbows, clinchwork, and BJJ for grappling.


Never, ever, get yourself into a ground position in a street fight, though. There's always the armchair fight statistician who's like "85% of street fights go to the ground, bruh" but never go there unless it's absolutely unavoidable.
Back off, Warchild.

Seriously.

Boxing is better than Muay Thai because most Muay Thai schools don't emphasize footwork and head movement as much (which are very important for street fights since you are not wearing oversized gloves).

Boxers will get fked by wrestlers 9 out of 10 times if it's 1 vs 1 though.

Honestly some people are just going to clean your clock regardless of how you prepare. All men are not created equal, some people will naturally be more explosive, better timing, chin, limb length, initiative and they are probably the type to instigate fights, and the amount of time you spend in the gym practicing whatever combat sport won’t matter.
Lifts:
Squat: 460x1
Bench: 400x1
Deadlift: 575x1
OHP: 250x2
Weight: 180 lbs.

Don't have heroes; look up to no one. Because as long as someone's leading the way, the best you'll ever be is second.

I always carry a weapon knife or gun, its legal where I live, and I have 5 years of armature boxing when I was younger. If you're getting into fights you're an idiot.
