O.K.
I would do whatever the situation commands.
I would clinch and take down to use my jits if I was close.
If I had the room,I would use my feet.Going for a knee or ankle first.then shoot for a takedown.
I am short and thus have a short range for boxing.Therefor I would only want to box with someone with the same reach.
Boxing is my weak point.Although I am better at it than most non trained guys.Since I have taken everything BUT boxing.I would only want to box with someone that showed me he wasnt good with his hands.But,no matter what.My first reaction would be to get my hands up in a boxing stance for two reasons.In case he can box I need to be coverd up.Second ,it makes him think that thats where I want to fight.
