Kick boxing beat boxing muay thai beat kickboxing grappling beat muay thai and judo beats grapling of course there are exceptions but most of the time its like that
This argument is just biased every martial is limited boxing is effective literally kickboxing is western boxing and karate then you add wrestling and ju jitsu and judo and that’s a pretty well balanced fighter but that’s for sports as for the real world it doesn’t matter cause people use numbers and weapons so no one martial art is going to save u in those cases and id choose boxing and wrestling over kickboxing because they don’t utilize head movement and crazy speed and precision counters as fast as boxing plus the footwork and kicks are risky
most people also do stricking martial arts, so thats why i do judo, an wresteling martial art, cause if i grab you and take you down to the ground with an hard slam and after than i will get you into an headlock or an strong groundhold. well he isnt gonna do anything cause his BIQ is only focussed on stricking and not wresteling
Alexy ignashov k1 japan (the russian guy)
Yeah boi like a hot ass baked potato
JOE ROGAN HAS A MAXIQ OF 107
First things first train in judo or jujitsu first and foremost and develop a strong grappling base, then after a few years consider training in a striking art form, that’s what I did, judo to kickboxing, because realistically if I see you are a good striker regardless of my kickboxing training I’ll take the fight to the ground where you’re more then likely to have no experience in.
A lot of people just delulu thinking boxing is the best martial art, boxing realy relying on their stance in order to put power on their puch, if ya got ya leg kicked or grabbed aint no way u can push ya body weight to ya leg to make a puch
Boxing is an amazing martial art to supplement other martial arts with. Otherwise it’s steaming dog shit.
I don´t care what is more useless or less useless, for self-defense everything is useful.
And that happens to any top ranked boxer against even an unknown mma fighter
Muway Thai just stolen from Lethwei
No one fucking know that
Now do muay thai vs gun
What if we make an agreement that I can knee you in the face while you have three points of contact with the ground?
Only shows you should never expect a fair fight when you get into something. Always make sure you have the advantage.
You never know how it comes. Even a man without Martial Art knowledge can still kill you in the streets. Just be ready and alert… Even when you are a Boxer, you will be able to Beat a muayi Thai Fighter. What Style you wanna use against a man with the Fiieeerce. Of. A. Dragonn…??
Nah hes high as hell. Ive seen too many boxers in fights handle business real quick and walk away, and ive seen bjj guys get stomped by the homies. Joe watches too many cage fights and not enough in the wild. Boxing is 100% one of the best to protect yourself.
Tyson in his prime will knock that guy I out easy
YURI BOYKA stile
How are you going to kick if you're wearing jeans or tight pants what's boxing you could fight in any clothing no matter what you're wearing all you need is your fist
Taekwondo is a good martial art, until you got punhed in the face.

that “Russian guy” was Alexey Ignashov.
Boxing is actually a great martial art. U step, I end it before u get a chance to kick me.
I’ll be calling security, while you’re picking up your teeth. 😊
THIS RUSSIAN GUY WOULDN'T STAND A CHANCE AGAINST PRIME MIKE TYSON.
its really just depends on the person using the technique, not the technique itself. people underestimate the footwork/speed of a trained boxer.
Technically, old school boxing allowed throws and suplexes.
L take tbh. Funny enough there are videos that can be easily looked up on Youtube with a simple "boxer KOs kickboxer' or "boxer KOs BJJ guy" that can counter his one example here. As much as I like Joe, he's become something of a cultist. It's not hard to teach a competent boxer leg or takedown defense…we're not talking about fucking Wing Chun here
you must have forgotten boxing also has footwork in it good luck tryna kick someone that moves.
I promise you an average boxer drops a BJJ guy every single time. In order to get the take down, you‘ll have to eat a 1-2 from the boxer. The ufc guys maybe can take a punch, but those guys are the 0,1 percent. Go to any BJJ gym and I swear none of those guys are able to close the distance to a random amateur boxer
Yeah not that good by it self but every striking martial arts need it to be effective
My thing is…why didn't that guy just block the leg kicks?
I don't think it's an effective martial art against other martial artists. However, I think it's very effective for self defense in 99% of situations that occur on the street.
Them what is the best?
So Joe Rogan says kicking on top of boxing is an advantage. This guy is such an amazingly smart person
Boxing does work, not everybody is bruce lee
Boxers still are champions today ilia topuria hasn’t thrown one head or body kick since he got in the ufc
UFC #1 was a bizarre mix of fighters Gracie ended up winning but they had a boxer and he had no chance.
Boxing: No
Kickboxing: Yes
Isn't Ignashov? Btw Belarusian
“Sweep the leg, Johnny!!”
Muay Thai is brutal. And they start kids at 7 or younger. Insane.
Boxing Can be learn In 1 year . The other ones can take you up to 3 years to be good at . So boxing and wrestling are the easiest to learn and the most deadly combo .
Joe rogan always has a thing against boxing. It’s because Joe can’t box, has anyone seen Joe punch or spar? Nope
that first slam 👀😂
Mma is moronic😮
Boxing techniques work in the streets but like any martial art you have to remember that there are no rules in a real fight, they’ll kick, scratch, bite, throw illegal punches, anything can happen
Why are ppl disputing this lol? If you take a kick boxer & tell him to fight a boxer in a phone booth nobody is gonna deny that the boxer is gonna be the better puncher so if there is opportunity to keep range & leg kick how can u say there isnt a massive advantage the other way around? Its pure ego 😂
