Hey guys !
I just recently started training boxing, it's a lot of fun and really hard. Something I would recomend for most people .
Anyways, I was wondering how these two fit together, BB & Boxing?
In hope for good response.

Its an awesome cardio w/o but if you plan on taking up boxing its not a real good idea to try to get huge in the muscle dept.You need power more than muscle.Boxing is also a great w/o for the shoulders.I boxed for a few yrs in the army I love it.

Hehe, fast reply, thanks . I took up boxing with my friend for some extra fun and you're right, I've bee feeling pain in the shoulders, which is nice ;D

Boxing is only good for cardio IMO. I would practice BJJ instead.

[wrestlingstalion2]

you can lift like normal. most mma fighters who also train in boxing obviously. and lift heavy weights and high reps all around.

What is it that BJJ has to offer that Boxing does not ? Just curious. :)

[wrestlingstalion2]

different attack basis really. the ground or stand up.. heh pretty significant difference

[Freak]

Applicable skills in the real world. 90% of fights get taken to the ground.

[wrestlingstalion2]

haha yea they do.

[Islviking]

Isn't BJJ all about controling your foe with all kinds of techniques? As in, taking him down without too much fighting.

[wrestlingstalion2]

its about controlling the situation well enough so if he ends up on top or tackles you. you dont get youre ass whooped haha

[Islviking]

Heh yeah. Well, I'm gonna have to do some research whether I'm going to continue in the box or switch to BJJ. Thanks for the answers guys.
