Anyway Im sticking with boxing now for sure.
I do it at home. I know the stuff they never ever taught the white and yellow belts.
I don't do ariel kicks. I prefer a grounded kicking style (low-mid section) and pure boxing with strikes.

I only use it for fitness though. I goto a boxing gym at the moment. I agree boxing is the real deal. Sparring this monday (2min rds x 3) so hope that goes well.

BTW For self defence you need to know: wrestling, striking, punching (no reverse punching), kicking and dirty tactics (head butts, biting, hair pulling, stoomping foot, twisting ear etc).

No old martial art is complete. Krav Maga is good as I hear.
