Fighting?

but it still can? prioritize striking sure but work on floor game if you dont want to get rekt when he slips 2 punches

Just check which ones does more amateur fights and have more pros training there

Most of the time what matters more is who's teaching you and who you're sparring with rather than the discipline

Is there an option where I learn proper defense to NOT go to the ground? I thought brazilian jj wanted to go downwards to grapple?

This

At least know what to do if a fight goes to the ground. And take down defenses

If somebody tackles you with a double leg takedown, you're going to the ground

You can try to prevent that by standing in TMA stance, but your lead punches will be girly

Boxers tend to be underweight as fuck for their height so that they can be zippy as fuck. At that point they learn how to punch with perfect technique so that when they land a punch it's like being hit by a freight train. If you want to learn how to knock someone out and run away, box. If you wanna look like a dudebro sick cunt who can do flykicks, do MMA. Ultimately both are dumb and you should play some Rugby, Lacrosse or some other contact ball sport that will make you capable of wrecking cunts in a practical way rather than for a sport.

Running

fo real this guy is right the best form of self defense in an actually dangerous situation is to be able to get away from the threat very quickly without getting caught or hurting yourself

the fuck are you tarding on about?

Wow i guess fucking ball sports is a better fighting style than actually fighting
