I train BJJ and Judo primarily, and I go boxing every once in a while. Same as u/Dark_T100 , I enjoy the dominating aspect of grappling. I'm not too keen on boxing because of the potential for head injuries but I understand it's importance in being well rounded.

As far as how it influences my interactions with others, when friends and acquaintances find out, they respect it. I don't talk about it much because unless you're into grappling, you won't get it.

Also, don't go looking for fights. Trust me.

I started boxing as a cross-trainer and loved it. I like the sense of comradery from the club, but I esp. like the no-bullshit attitude that people have when it comes to training. People have a good time but you'll never see anyone screwing around or being lazy (ie. on their phones etc), which is really refreshing to me. Its nice being in a group of people where everyone is focused on the same thing.

Vast Majority of People here are going to tell you MMA or BJJ (Both are fine and respectable, especially BJJ)

My combat sport of choice is Traditional Shotokan Karate, my grappling sport of choice is Combat Sambo. From Shotokan I learnt dedication, respect, and discipline. However when I fight I do not fight like a Karate fighter, I fight more like how a Muay Thai fighter would fight. In a modern combat scenario Traditional Karate isn't going to help you too much, however when you adapt and devolve as well as incorporate techniques from Muay Thai, Boxing, and MMA, having the Karate base is very helpful. Sambo teaches you how to man handle everyone, and how to push through hardships the Russian way.
