Another one... Kickboxing / competitive fighting???
Due to my looong drive to an MMA gym as of now - and falling behind in class as I would only be able to go once a week..
I took the advice of someone who said to take on kickboxing until I move closer to an mma gym in a few months...
My question is -- will kickboxing give me a lot of experience before getting into competitive fighting, or will it throw me off with the differences learned in that class as opposed to what I will be taught in martial arts????
Will I be getting ahead, or in the long run learn habits that maybe aren't taught in marial arts?
I think kickboxing will give you some good skills for long and medium range fighting. The distance and strategy is a little closer for wrestling and grappling and as long as you work at learning how to make those adjustments you should be fine. Some people don't think about such things or have trouble with that but the fact that you asked this question and are thinking about this tells me that you should be fine once you learn how and what adjustments to make as that distance changes and you close the gap with your opponent. Skills at long, medium and short range together with wrestling and grappling aspects will make you much more rounded and make you a much more complete martial artist and capable of defending yourself.
