UFC Gym
I just came back from the UFC Gym.
They gave me a tour and as a gym goes its massive and overs all sorts of things.
First.
The girls that work there are smoking hot.
But I noticed that I was the only black guy there and thats odd considering the size of the place.
I kinda dont think they can do much for me.
I asked about the boxing coach and I am going to go back and talk to him and watch a class.

Probably best. Assuming you're young and hoping to eventually compete professionally in boxing. I'm unaware of any successful pro fighters launching their amateur record out of a UFC Gym. But maybe I'm wrong.
If I'm not wrong then it's best to find a serious boxing gym.
On the other hand, if you're just looking to build stellar novice or experienced amateur hands, for self defense, not hoping for a future professional career, then a UFC Gym would strike me as perfectly reasonable.
But you can get very sound, well rounded fight game, from an MMA gym. You'll learn how to strike with more than just your hands, plus you'll learn grappling skills.
But maybe you just want to focus on one area at a time. If so... that's not the worse choice on earth. That's better than not training in anything or trying to learn too much at once. I guess it just depends on the route one wants to take.
Really, for most street confrontations one doesn't need to be an MMA star or Muhammad Ali. Most people that fight on the street have rather inferior fighting skills. So, most well trained amateur fighters with at 2 or so years of training, should usually win against the average street thug.
But that aside, both boxing and MMA have there limitations. In prison or on the streets edged weapons can become a realistic threat. FMA like Escrima can develop some helpful skills against knife attacks or fighting with a knife.
There's not a whole lot to help you if a person is standing at a distance with a gun or rifle.
