Thursday 20th April 2006 at 22:21 this question has probably been asked loads of times before and i just wonder what peoples views were, who would win between a good boxer and a good martial artist, (whilst on there feet). i am aware that there are a huge number of variables like weight, height etc but assume there fairly equal and only things like stamina skill etc matter Inveniam Viam Aut Faciam |

Friday 21st April 2006 at 00:53 There are still far too many variables. Rules? What counts as a win? What are they playing? What martial art? Have they got gloves on? |

Friday 21st April 2006 at 12:40 UFC 1, Royce Gracie fought a professional cruiser weight boxer. He kept him away with low side kicks, then took him to the ground. From then on it was just embarrassing for the poor boxer. The boxer, frustrated and not knowing what to do on the ground, conceeded without the need for Gracie to apply a submission technique. |

Friday 21st April 2006 at 15:45 I guess ya did say "(whilst on there feet)", so maybe Royce vs that boxer isn't answering the question. The Admin Guy |

Friday 21st April 2006 at 23:38 I'm not so sure about that. The majority of boxers have far more experience fighting and striking people than most martial artists do. Sure the martial artist knows more moves, like finger eye jabs, but unless he has blinded hundreds of people, he can't have practised this more dangerous techniques as much as a boxer has boxing. |

Saturday 22nd April 2006 at 20:15 How about combat forms (not sports) which originated in other countries such as France or Israel? |

Saturday 22nd April 2006 at 20:31 Yeah judo began as a martial art and then evolved into a sport for the olympics etc... whereas boxing has always been a sport. ______________________________ |

Sunday 23rd April 2006 at 09:06 I think it all depends on how BJJ is taught, some clubs put an emphasis on the sport side others sport and defence. ______________________________ |
