okay well its just my opinion because i sometimes watch the MMA people do their thing, MMA is brutal at my gym, one of my friends does it and he was sparring with the trainer, they are throwing fucking knees and elbows, no headgear, mouth gaurds are optional, my friend is fighting an experienced fighter, the trainer is sitting on him punching and elbowing him, my friend isnt even defending him self at this point cause hes out cold
now boxing, fight with head gear, mouth gaurds, fight kids our own age, just punches, no elbows and knees to the face, less brutal?
