Stage 3, Day 15,

Well; I need to learn a striking sport, yesterday. This night, at a bar, my drunk friend friend pissed off the wrong guy, and got into a fight with a bigger dude. He was likely roiding; he threw a headbutt and a punch, and chased my friend around, called him "n****r" more than once. I let him walk past me, worried that he would turn his attention to me. I know how to handle white belts in BJJ, but not an angry, jacked guy who doesn't follow BJJ rules. I will probably upgrade my gym membership from BJJ to MMA (BJJ+Muy Thai). I'll need to figure out how to fit these two into my schedule; I'll likely go in during the weekend days too, taking days off for recovery.

Well in striking port like Boxing / Muay Thai, weight divisions are set for a reason. A lightweight will most likely have a hard time defeating a light-heavyweight, given that the strength, endurance, and reach are all different. Unless if you have extremely long reach and technically savvy at the same time, trying to have real fight with larger opponents could be potentially dangerous as they could pose more threats than you think.

If you are really into self-defense though, I recommend doing Krav Maga over learning Muay Thai / Boxing. It will give you some advantage over real street fight as it's what the sport is known for.
