Boxing class

well you've listened to Joe Rogan in the past.... "MMA for sure is more of a realistic contest, more of a realistic test as far as using the body in martial arts competition. Although not considered a martial art, boxing is really a martial art. It's a very limited martial art as long as you agree to just box...but in an actual physical fight against someone who's just a wrestler, you're going to get killed. Floyd Mayweather would get killed by an average college wrestler. There would be no competition. If you took Floyd Mayweather today and made him fight against your average college wrestler, that college wrestler is going to shoot on him, pick him up, drop him on his head and knock him out. There's nothing Floyd can do about it...A judo guy would do the same thing to him. A JuJitsu guy would strangle him, no question about it."

LOL an average college wrestler would also destroy a female white belt in bjj.

I suspect Rogan would admit not white belts. Black belt men in judo or BJJ could likely take Mayweather.

I would take the bet that a white belt female bjj fighter couldn’t take me in a mma fight - and I was only one step from brown belt in JKD.

boxing is great cardio but a decent female bjj white belt could tap floyd mayweather in about 11 sec

I don't have any idea who could kick whose a$$. This whole discussion sounds a little like the SNL Superfans and is almost as amusing. Nor do I question the value of boxing as a character building exercise--facing one's fears, learning to take a punch and getting up off the mat.

However, as useful self-defense for a US military member in (especially a pilot) involved in anything other than a bar fight, I think boxing has to be close to useless.

You should familiarize yourself with the phrase "Welcome to Earth!" to truly understand boxing's value to pilots.

I asked my brother, who flew C7A’s in Vietnam and commercial jets for AA for 30+ years. His answer was:

”Could mean when a pilot smashes into the earth, he ends up in box.” He is 77 and hasn’t lost a step.

Ah yes, but did your brother slap an Oscar host 26 years after his big moment? Boxing muscle memory in action.
