I spent my early 20s in the boxing ring. I was totally addicted to it, and learned a lot of good habits. I recently started muay thai, and I love it. I also tried BJJ for fun, and instantly became hooked. I'm better on my feet, but I've been spending way more time on the mat lately.
Something I learned from boxing: As you improve, you gain focus and confidence. People notice this. People used to vibe me on the streets a lot when I was younger. After I trained for a while, people stopped starting shit with me. Not because I walked around like a bad-ass, but just because I walked with more self confidence.
What I'm trying to say is that the more you train, the less likely you are to actually need to use your skills on the streetz (in my experience, anyway).
Another bonus: train at the best gym in town, and you'll meet and become friends with some of the toughest guys in town.
