Most effective for street fighting?

I have done Muay thai for a few years and now I only box.

In my opinion I feel far more confident as a street fighter since doing boxing. Fists probably do the most damage in a fight, due to their accuracy, power and where they are going to hit your opponent.

The sparring in boxing is like a real fight most nights as we hit each other at close to full power so I am used to throwing hard punches and taking them as well. If you hit someone with a good hard combo you should have a good head start, plus you should be able to avoid punches quite well

When I did Thai boxing I wasnt as confident with my hands, plus kicks are always dodgy in a fight, and booting someones leg doesnt real;ly do instant damage, nor do you usually have space and tim e to do so.

The best thing about Thai boxing in a street fight is knowing how to clinch and knee. Not much defence to this in my limited use of it in a street fight.

I got involved in a large scale disturbance after I had been doing boxing a while. I sound like I am boasting here, but I am just giving my experince as asked. I found it soo easy to hit opponents it was unbelivable. They had no guards and telegraphed their intentions when they tried to punch me. I think I threw 5 punches, landed 4 and everyone I hit went down, the last one unconcious. That is due to boxing in my opinion.

agree with wrestling and boxing/thaiboxing!!  wrestling for balance and boxing for striking.  then gameness is the main factor which will win you a fight!  and staying aware of your surroundings.  whos behind you to the side, etc,  thats where you loose if you get sucker punched fromt he side, theres no defence for that.

bjj and ground work on the street is pretty useless.  most moves cant be got out with by eye gauging or biting.  plus you dont want your head caved in by other people.

so boxing/thai/wresting for me.  dont rate krav maga its all too scripted.  on the street its so much faster

Dont spend time trying to lock someone in a submission, if you go to the ground theres a good chance someone will jump on your head or bottle you on the ground.

Trust me when i say, get the first punch in. Break their nose with your right, left uppercut then bang them with an overhand right. If they dont fall, push them back and see what happening/ where your at and how you can get out of the pub/out of the area asap.

If you are inexperienced you will make mistakes, if you value your eyesight and your life, you wont street fight unless you have no choice.

As for any of you out there, that go looking for fights in pubs and in the streets. You deserve to be locked up. You are the bullys of the adult world and eventually you will get whats coming to you.

LOL are you at the wind-up? I'd be very disappointed if you don't turn out to be a worldwide, top-10 rated boxer in your weight division.

If you lock someone in a submission and they struggle try hard to break free youve broken there bloody bone!!! I mean there not going to tap out, and theres no ref about.

happens all too often

a choke becomes a death

depends how badly you want to win the fight i suppose

Id say boxing if you have to fight.

How many times have you seen a street/pub fight, where somebody tries to throw a spinning elbow or a roundhouse kick for example?

guns are irrelevant were talking street fighting.  guns cancel everything out you dont need to go to krav maga to learn to kill with a gun, any tool can do it

and spydream have you ever had a fight, left, right uppercut, blah blah ok yea sure that works everytime.

The most important thing, is landing the first punch/kick, doing it quickly and giving your oponent no chance to fight back.

It sounds harsh i know.

I dont go looking for fights, but you often get the local hardman trying his luck. If you go for me, im going to beat you unconcious and disappear very quick.

I second this, though it doesnt look good in a court of law if your caught. Believe me mate.
'' I thought he was gunna kick off your honour, he looked dodgy. so i kicked seven shades of sh1t out of him as im well trained in mma , kickoxing , and bjj !!''  JOKERS is all i have to say........

Whats the diff between thai boxing and kick boxing is thai were you kick and punch as well? or im i getting confused.

Kickboxing is punches and kicking only, with kicks typically above the waist, although there are some 'low kicks' kickboxing matches.

Full rules muay thai is a totally different ball game, with punches and kicks below the waist line (leg kicks) and also knees and elbows. Full Thai Rules will allow knees and elbows to the head, i.e. this is the proper muay thai you would see in Thailand.

Muay Thai also has clinch work that is pretty unique to muay thai and even some throws, seen it done alot in Thailand when I watches live muay thai fights.

Muay Thai in this country and Europe generally tends to be modified rules, although some fighters fight under full thai rules (elbows and knees to head).

Hope this helps.

Do Muay Thai, which Uni you decided on going to anyway mate?

You got it right the first time BJJ & Boxing. Learn how to dig and move then if it does go to the ground you can hurt them. Also learning to stay focussed and control your fear.

Put uni of birm as my first choice mate, got a conditional offer so i need the grades, i really wanna go there, second is belfast an hour drive away from my house dont wanna go there really.

There is K-Star muay thai in Brum, I personally didn't like it, but they have some good fighters. It struck me a bit like a money making venture than a serious fight team.

UTC MMA in Bham is probs your best bet, or Braulio Estima BJJ.

Thanks badboy not sure what i want to get into yet tbh, i would like to get into something my main priority is studying hard and getting a part time job, then mma/kickboxing/boxing or thai boxing im thinking.

Not planning on competing btw, but if i did boxing or mma competing would interest me.

just out of curiousity

are there any real strong guys here who have been in a fight and dont have any martial arts/boxing background??

if so, how much did strength matter in the fight

also please post your best lifts to assess your strength
