Boxing is a tool, just like wrestling, BJJ and Thai. It is by no means a complete street effective martial art; It is however my choice for my punches. What does it give you? It gives you an actual perspective of your awarness against somebody who is really trying to knock you out. It gives you an idea of distance and timing that you could never gain other than actually fighting.
Why do yu think that I would use boxing to stop a headlock, or a bearhug? I've had a number of years of wrestling under my belt, why wouldn't I use that.
