    yeah a well executed punch definitely doesn’t need to have your whole body strength behind it in order to fuck someone up, and whatever lands is infinitely more damaging than what doesn’t

    I’d also recommend training combat sports. even if you never end up in a violent altercation the compound benefits are fucking amazing

        If you live in a big city and can pick from a bunch of disciplines, I’d say either muay thai or K-1 kickboxing for striking and either wrestling (folkstyle or greco-roman), judo or BJJ for grappling

        If the only gyms in your area are regular ol’ boxing gyms that’s still a very good way to train, same goes for kyokushin karate specifically (can’t recommend the other types of karate for learning self-defense)
