i have been doing boxing longer than taekwondo?

Question

in a fight (hopefully not) should i use my boxing skills, ihave been doing tkd for over a month and a half

Answer 1

After only a month & a half, your TKD skills are very rudimentary. In a fight you have to rely on instinct, if you take time to think it will be too late. If you can not avoid a fight, just react & do what comes naturally. The best fight is the 1 you avoided.

Answer 2

Tkd is not a good idea because it will do you no good in a real fight. I have been doing tkd, Karate, and a martial art called Krav Maga for many years... and I will tell you right now that karate and tkd is nothing compared to Krav. You should look up Krav. It is intense training on real situations and it really works.

Answer 3

I have studied martial arts for over 30 years and from experience I would tell you to box the H@#$% out of them. At 1 1/2 months you know enough to get hurt. Actually, American boxing is a decent street art until the weapons come out.
But, the best and ultimate art is to some how , walk away.

Hope this helps

Answer 4

The best way is to combine both techniques for a good strategy by using you're boxing techniques coupled with what you've learned in TKD, neither one will be better in a fight, but combining them you can use them to your advantage "stick and move" style.

Answer 5

KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid. There's a reason you don't see a lot of spinning back kicks, etc in real fights. That's becaue if you don't have the speed, accuracy, and power to pull it off you're going to get your *** handed to you. Box, Box, and Box. If the oppurtunity to pull off a simple kick such as to the legs or body or the head (after they're stunned unless you're hella fast) arises, take it.

Answer 6

Boxing will help you alot more than flashy foot tag.
