Learning to fight gives you an experience that is closer to reality, you are more aware of "how far" your combat prowess goes, so you are less likely to get into a fight you cant win.
You you are allowed to carry a non-lethal gun.
Yeah and that non-lethal gun needs to be drawn, aimed, fired (by your uncoordinated, untrained, scrawny skinny fat ass) - and after all that its non-lethal and a guy is wearing heavy clothes, and running towards you to fuck you up. That's the point in time you realize that spending 6-10 hours on some boxing class wasn't such a bad idea after all.
Martial arts is only good for martial arts. Boxing is good for boxing.
Getting into street fights usually involves running, dodging a glass or a knife, or getting beaten from behind by guys friend you didn't saw.
Most street fighting is unironically just bare knuckle boxing. And most footage of a guy fucking up multiple assailants - is a footage of a decent boxer just dropping untrained goons with one-two's.
eah bro, and 6-10 hours of LARP-choking each other in pajamas doesn’t magically make you Bruce Lee either.
No it doesn't turn you into a Hollywood actor, it turs you into an amateur boxerwrestler - which is miles ahead of a general publics fighting prowess level.
Congrats, you can break a wooden board and do somersaults - meanwhile some 130lb methhead with a screwdriver will give you a free tracheotomy behind a gas station.
Excuse my hubris, anon, but I am more than capable of catching the arm of a 130 lbs dough body and pile driving him into asphalt. Most amateur fighters are.
Touch grass, learn situational awareness
Trained fighter has infinitely more situational awareness and reaction time then some "muh non-lethal guns" nerd. You are thge one needing some grass touching and possibly some boxingjudo.
