text: tips for  a boxer fighting martial artist? i have a couple martial artistthat wanna spar with me. one takes karate and the other is wing chung. i'd like to think of my self as a pretty skilled boxer but this will be my first time going against a marshall artist. i'm mainly concerned about my legs, being as i'm a boxer and i am not used to having to protect them. can anybody offer any tips? learn a little kickboxing, mainly the defense and what kicks to look for. i take mixed martial arts in which we do alot of kickboxing where low kicks are very common. they get to the body faster than a punch and they do more damage. your legs will weaken and you won't have any push off power. muay thai kickboxing is a good art to learn because it also teaches the art of using knees and elbows effectively. i'd check out http://www.kickboxing.com and get all the information you need there.
