I’ve trained hard in boxing for 2 years and have found that boxing offers some of the most effective hand techniques. I would strongly recommend to anyone learning the martial arts to first get good at boxing, add thai/savate boxing or whatever for legs strikes and mix in the brazillian jiu justu, judo, or grappling. That’s a tall order, but hand/head defense is crucial in a real fight, and boxing will prepare you well.
