Should I stick to Boxing or Try MMA for a change?

Question

Whats up guys,

When I was in the 7th grade, I signed up for a Kickboxing class, I was in for about 4 months

Then in the 8th Grade I signed up for a Boxing Class at the Same gym, to me Boxing was a lot more fun and it gave you a better work out.

Early this year I signed up for Boxing again, and I was doing Great, but then I got into a car accident last april and was un able to box due to shoulder and neck injuries. I am being released from my Chiroprator Theropy and I am going to sign back up for boxing next week.

The thing is, I have been getting into a lot of the MMA and UFC work outs and i've become intrested in MAYBE start taking classes for that.

I was thinking I should go ahead and sign back up for boxing for 3 months, then Kickboxing for another 3 and then start training at an actual MMA gym next to my house...or should I just stick to boxing?? I kinda want to try somethin new

Answer 1

MMA is a lot more challenging than boxing or kick-boxing. to even be considered an MMA fighter you have to know at least 3 martial arts. The mental and physical strain your body takes from MMA is a lot more demanding than boxing. you first have to familiarize yourself with a variety of martial arts because MMA may only require you to know 3 but there is a variety of different techniques your opponents may use meaning you have know how to defend yourself from them.

Answer 2

if you really want to learn to fight, skip all that sport fighting junk and do Kung fu.

Answer 3

MMA is awesome, it makes you a well rounded fighter and it is very popular now a days.
