Traditional boxing gives you a good framework for striking, makes your frame strong and teaches you how to take a punch
But in a straight-up fight, you want to practice something that teaches you how to break a hold because if you don't know how, some chud who does BJJ will strangle you
I have some luck because my dad was in a street gang and taught me some real good tricks
Then my brother somehow made friends with a guy who did professional Tae Kwon Do and Jeet Kune Do and he taught me some stuff too
Best bet though is lots of cardio, get good at running, both sprinting and long-distance
If you can avoid a fight, that's gonna be a lot better for you in the long run
This, it's kind of cliche that the old master tells the pupil to not fight with some analogy, but it's true, if you can get the fuck out of there without getting fucked up or followed that's win.
Add 'fights if your quick'
