After a period of extended unemployment and you know, ‘hitting the gym’ due to not having much else to do, I’ve decided to pursue this hobby of violence that seems to attract far too many chuds. I’m hoping it’ll give me a thin veneer of confidence and security, and an ability to fend off fucking assholes with my bare fists arthur-punch

In all seriousness, how do I become a better fighter, I truly suck at this. Any of you fight for fun? Practice a martial art, boxing, wrestling? What’s your opinion on the sport?

    When I was teaching muay thai in a corpo gym I had a guy who actually knew wing chun, and I’m still surprised at how well it worked in our sparring sessions. It’s just faster than boxing at short ranges. Certainly less powerful strikes on average, but the speed made him very good at defending.
