Do any one feels that Boxing should be regarded as a martial art?
In my opinion, boxing can be regarded as a martial art in sports level, just like the judo, sanshou (sanda) etc. But it cant be regarded as a well martial arts thing since it lacks many many area which a common martial arts will have, one example is to kill, and to heal… What do you think? Please post your opinions as comment.
I think that boxer’s have excellent fitness and could definitely kill. Could the heal? No! But are they disciplined in training yes. Perhaps it should be considered a fighting art, but not martial art.
You put up a very good point, Butch. I too support that boxing can said as a fighting art, not a martial art.
(%) peace …
