What styles should I study
I am a newbie to this site but I am not a newbie to fighting. In my life I have been in rather a few fights, most of the time on the receiving end. During my younger years I studies Karate until i reached yellow belt black tip...this study didnt help that much other than teach me how to kick and punch straight.
Lately i have started training myself with kickboxing, against a punching bag, I know this is a bad idea because it lowers your defensive in fighting
The other day I went against somebody taller and bigger than me, and whenever i threw a punch i ended up with one in the face, he got 3 in total on me until i took him to the ground where it was discovered thats where his weakness was.
I was just wondering what styles would be good with somebody that has had the training background like i have, also i need some useful strategies for beating opponents before i get into the style of my chosen art, so give me some feedback please
