Your friend wants to learn how to fight. Do you send him to a boxing gym or MMA gym?

Take it from a red belt in Tang Soo Do and brown belt in TKD.

Boxing over an "mma gym"...... If you were saying boxing or wrestling than that's different.

Boxing is timing, cardio, spacing. MMA training ain't specific.

mma gyms have specific classes.

its not just "mma class from 12 to 1:30"

its "wrestling at 1:00, boxing at 6:00, bjj at 9:00"

would muay thai + BJJ be fine also

some gyms dont do boxing classes but do muay thai for striking/stand up

Throw in wrestling just to not get taken down by random fat dudes.

Yep, this is what I always tell people about street fighting. It's never one on one. MMA is good when it's one on one, you have space, and you're wearing something that will let you move. When you're getting jumped, which most young punks do, you have to be able to get rid of people as soon as possible. Knowing how to throw a knockout punch is essential in these situations.

Good point. We don't want our brehs getting kicked in the back of the head while doing jiujitsu on the streets.

If a fat white boy does the football tackle technique...what are you gonna do? How great is your takedown defense?

You want to see someone crumble in a street fight? Hit that left hook to the body after a faint...Lol. Never fails. They will drop to their knees like they'e been castrated.
