Over the last 4 years I've done two years of boxing, one year of MMA, and am currently doing Wing Chun. The boxing was through my college and was pretty good; great fitness and cool people and I learned a lot about the basics, though I never felt I was actually in a position to feel confident about defending myself. Then I switched to MMA and basically got my ass kicked (and kicked a few asses) for the next year but I figure any pain I get in the ring/dojo is one I won't get outside of it. With boxing as my base it was an uphill battle to learn everything else. It's easiest to have BJJ as your base and learn the rest from there. But I did learn a lot and felt pretty good at the end. Wing Chun was a decision to try a more traditional style but one I felt had a lot of promise for being very practical and boy was I right. They are very efficient and it's basically learning a few moves that they have decided are the best and doing them a thousand times. Everything in it has a point and a reason.
