Boxing As Self Defense
What prepares a person better for self defense---boxing or martial arts?
When I was in high school, I took just over two years worth of Tae Kwon Do. I also dabbled a little in Ju-Jitsu, too, but not as much. I think I was fairly well prepared for any dangerous situation, but maybe not as much as I think. I also lifted weights regularly back then, too.
In recent months, I have started weight training again. I have also thought about going back into martial arts. But there are a few boxing coaches at my gym that give lessons, and I was thinking about looking into that. For some reason, I'm kind of thinking that good boxing skills would make for good self defense.
Thing is, I have recently started seeing a girl that I really care about. I think she may be the one that I give a ring to. I want to be prepared to protect her if the need ever arises. I really love her, and I want to keep her safe. That's why I'm interested in knowing this.
Thanks in advance.
Whatever you choose, you better know how to slip a punch and give one right back. Consider one of the most likely scenarios: an altercation develops at a crowded bar. How much room do you have to throw out the big kick, or get in a position for the big submission move? Not much! But one good jab breaks the nose, blurs the vision, and gives you the advantage.
I may be biased because I box, but that's just the way I see it. If I were getting into self defense in real world scenarios, I would look into Krav Maga. It teaches you how to take down multiple armed assailants with your bare hands.

Is 27 to old to start boxing?
I don't want to compete or anything but just to improve fitness and self defense and i just like the idea of boxing as a hobby.
I remember Ray Mercer.
He started in pro boxing too old like you said.
That is not impediment to you to be a good fighter and future star.
I praise you.
