What do all the martial artists out there think of this article? I am not a boxer but was thinking of joining.

Question

I was thinking of Boxing or Muay Thai. Preferably Muay Thai. I wnat to join to get into shape mostly but what do you think of this article on traditional arts versus straight boxing.

Here it is :http://rossboxing.com/thegym/thegym3.htm

Answer 1

Boxing and Muay Thai are both excellent for striking, and I say go for either of them, but the article was a piece of c*** that was slanted and opinionated, and next time he needs to visit a school that is not a McDojo.

Answer 2

I just read your article and answered your other question.. but this has a bit more to ask.

My answer?  Go Muay Thai, bro!!  Heck.. do both if you can..

Muay Thai = hardcore training.  Efficient and devastating techniques.

Boxing = hardcore training.  Footwork like a madman!

Some guy asked "Kickboxing or Muay Thai" once.. Search for my answer.  I think it was a good one.  =)
