How many people here train in one or both?

Today I was messin with a speed ball and realized how bad I would be in a fight cuz of my speed. I couldn't hit the ball 2 times, but after a little practice I managed to double that.

Any tips on boxing?

Mainly my fighting stance is the cat stance I think?

All your weight is on your back left and your right foot is arched so the ball of the foot is the only thing on the ground.

Martial arts is not the act of fighting... Its more the act of discipline, control of the body. Healthy body = healthy mind.

Go to any true martial arts school, and not only will they teach you the moves, they put a huge focus on the mental/spiritual side. They also teach you never to fight unless under drastic circumstances, and also they dont believe that entering martial arts tournaments is right.

Wrong, that's how the martial arts tradition is for chinese and japanese fighting styles, thai is more aggresive, and then there's other martial arts. Isreali, Russian etc... Where the whole fighting stlye is just take your oppenant down no matter how you do it, wether you fight dirty and dishonor your oppenant, it dosn't matter.

Ya, my teacher is trying to teach us how to defend ourselves, but we also focus on chi.

The cat stance is a kung fu stance. My hand are out in front of me, defending me and ready to strike.
