Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) are undoubtedly two very different combat sports and fighting systems. To completely adopt a traditional boxing stance, or rely only on boxing as a fighter in the sport of MMA, would definitely not be the best approach. It would make you susceptible to takedowns, elbows, and most of all, those paralyzing Muay Thai legs kicks; which are arguably a boxer’s greatest weakness in the cage.
However, that doesn’t mean that the techniques and concepts used heavily in the sweet science can’t be beneficial in the sport of MMA.
As fighters like former UFC Champions Georges St. Pierre and Junior Dos Santos have shown, a simple, well-executed jab can make all the difference – even against some of the best the sport has to offer. And in more recent years, fighters like two-weight UFC Champion Conor McGregor and UFC stars Doo Ho Choi, Nate Diaz, and many more have shown that excellent boxing knowledge, can many times, give a fighter a significant advantage over an opponent. They prove that boxing can effectively break their opponents down shot by shot and ultimately, finish them off. While the sport of MMA is less limited as a fighting system compared to boxing (allowing for takedowns, kicks, knees, elbows, submissions, and lesser limitations in the clinch), the majority of the finishes in MMA occur due to strikes. And of all those finishes from strikes, most of them come by way of punches.
Being well-versed in boxing techniques can not only improve your ability to punch harder, faster, and transition between different upper and lower body strikes better, it can also help improve your ability to land a punch, counter-attack, or even avoid strikes altogether. And while many MMA fighters may not care for the sweet science, none of them can deny that boxing can indeed improve a fighter’s reflexes, reaction time, and overall athleticism. There are countless other reasons why boxing techniques can be beneficial in the complex sport of MMA but the reasons stated above should be enough to convince any MMA fighter to invest at least a small portion of their training in the sweet science of boxing
SHOOT BOXING

(シュートボクシング Shūtobokushingu) is a combat sport derived from the "SHOOT" aspect (NHB) of Catch Wrestling where full contact striking was allowed.

DIRTY BOXING
DIRTY BOXING
FILIPINO BOXING (DIRTY BOXING), also known as Suntukan or Panantukan is a devastating form of hand-to-hand combat from the Philippines. A part of the Filipino Martial Arts (Kali & Escrima), Dirty Boxing utilizes nearly every part of the anatomy as a human weapon.
Similar to Thai Boxing but with absolutely no rules, Filipino Boxing makes similar use of elbows, knees and punches but with slightly less emphasis on kicking. Because it's based on knife fighting, the kicks are mostly performed at the low line. However, unlike Thai Boxing, Filipino Boxing utilizes many other tools that are illegal in Muay Thai or impossible to pull off with boxing gloves on.
Some favorite tools include head butts, finger jabs, claws, palms, slaps, forearm strikes, hammer fists, knuckle fists, back fists, thumb gouges, fish hooks, shoulder butts, sweeps, bolo punches, clinching, all types of elbows and knees and low kicks in combination with mainstream boxing punches.These tools are used offensively and as counter-attacks but it's not just the use of these unorthodox tools that makes DIRTY BOXING unique It's the way these techniques are integrated into a classic boxing structure that makes them so functional.
DIRTY BOXING transforms any boxing-based martial art like Boxing, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, MMA, Savate, Jeet Kune Do or Krav Maga into a MUTANT ANIMAL OF MASS DESTRUCTION for real-world fighting and self-defense.
