Muay Thai or Boxing?

Started by Darth Jello6 pages

I didn't find kung fu to be very effective at all after taking a few lessons. The best combo that i've heard of is Muay Thai/Lerdrit, Brazilian Ju-Jitsu, Thai-Jitsu. And for armed combat Ninja-ken, Sabre fencing and Kenjitsu.
In terms of weapons, all I've ever used so far are the Sabre, Shinai, and Katana. Ninjoto are shorter and straight, they aren't as powerful or well made though historically they could be tied to a rope and used for climbing or have shaken (throwing stars) hidden in the hilt. I heard the Okinawan weapons (all of which were once simple farm tools) are effective as well. These include Nunchaku (originally used in rice harvesting), Sai (originally used in planting), Kame (short sicles), and Tonfa (similar to police night sticks-originally used as a portable hitching post).

well i'm a user of the Bo Staff! On of the best weapons to use if you know how to use it!

Sai are nice because they can break swords

u guys know the world famous boxer jack dempsey??? he boxed "back in the day." well im related to him, so UH!

never heard of him....sry.....Bo staffs are kool cuz you can do tons of tricks with them and the japanese weapon used for harvesting is called Kamas...i think...

kame, plural

I havn't used any weapons but, I would like to learn the Tai Chi BroadSword. It only takes 5 mins to do but, its really a good workout.

It's good when you know how to use it.

My weapon styles of choice would be:
Bo Staff
Mugai Ryu (katana)

My .45 is the best weapon.

im not big on weapons, but im not big on hand to hand. im really not big on fighting, im the run away type. but when i DO have to fight, im a dirty fighter. ya know, low blows, pokes to the eyes, etc etc. i know i know, but im not one of those fighters with honor and unless someone says the rules to the fight, i figure i can do whatever i want

Jack Dempsey IS boxing, one of the greatness fighters of all time. Back than they relly did fight. Knocking teeth out and breaking bones.

He was heavyweight champ from 1919-1926. Lived from 1885-1983.

Whatever works 😉

I don't think there was a round system then, just kept fighting until someone dropped. Also probably had more fights in one year, than fighters to day have in a life time.

Yeah back in thsos days, in the early 1900's Fighters may fight 20 times a year.

And most fights were fights to the finshing. The Jack Johnson vs Jim Jeffies fight was sch for 45 rounds. It only lasted 15 though winninger by ko Johnson.

And Joe Gans vs Battling Nelson went 42 BLOODY rounds. I dont see any fighter today doing that.

Guns are for cowards!If he's a real man then he will fight and not rely on some cheap shot winning move..sry fruits but i'm a girl and i think i can take you on only cause you are a fighter with out pride honor and dignity it seems like...and to get owned by a chick is pretty sad.....Guns are for cowards...

Bows are better, I can't shoot a right-haded bow well...
