Merging Boxing and BJJ

[Creeper]

Currently study Gracie/BJJ two days a week and roll on the mat in my spare time. I'm looking to learn a few strikes just to keep myself in check plus I'd like to get a good, hard, sweaty cardio workout while learning something new at the same time. Boxing? I've got a few friends already training that I can hang with and spar while getting that sweaty workout. Also, it's pretty cheap to get a punching bag and speed bag for the home. Seems like BJJ and Boxing would go well together. Anyone else doing something similar?

It is always excellent to combine a good striking art with a good grappling art. You are doing yourlself a huge favour.
