Would having experience in kyokushin and kung fu help me learn boxing?

>would have striking experience help me in striking?
You'll handle body shots well, you will have to adjust to head punches but any experience is better than no experience especially since you at least got punched once. idk about the guard tho that will need some changes as you have to cover your head.

If you want to learn boxing why not just do boxing?

Kung fu is a broad term, but it's probably bullshit that's about as good as having no experience.
Kyokushin will have taught you bad habits. You will be allowed to stand and bang at a range that would normally get you rocked in the face. But at least you'll be tough.

I was gonna anyway no matter what anyone said here. Just was asking a question that's all

Thats why I quit kyokushin. Kung fu class I did was actually abit of improvement from that. They actually did some sparring. Downside was we couldn't use everything we learnt while sparring because alot of techniques were "to deadly" to spar with which narrowed down everything to just striking anyway. Also got sick of doing forms where we couldn't even pressure test what we were learning.

basically with boxing you just have to learn to guard high, bob and weave and use footwork.

What kind of a kung fu school did you go to that didn't teach you tuishou? I mean I understand most people would view it as a waste of time and space in training schedule but its a decent drill to understanding the feel of another person's balance in wrestling situations.

You ask a very interesting question

If you actually did some sparing in karate, maybe a little. Karate is extremely basic and they don't even alow headshots

tuishou has never helped anyone get good at anything other than tuishou

If you have relevant skills or not you should know. It's not like it's rocket science.

No but having boxing or muay thai experience helps in karate or kung fu immensely.

Technically yeah but both those styles have completely different neutral postures. You're gonna have a little trouble training those habits out...I can see it now. You're gonna get bopped on the nose a LOT because you keep dropping your hands.

Perfect example of good TMA versus Mcdojo shit. Love how the story even includes one of the most shat on Kung Fu techniques in existence

Essentially it was just Choki Reeing about THATS NOT KARATE! THIS IS KARATE! The whole time because his style didn't become popular, lol.
