Should I do boxing or other MAs

I’m biased but bjj doesn’t really enforce strength and building upon strength. Take up judo, it’s what I’ve been training for years, it’s like bjj but much more throws and takedowns. It’s like a really explosive BJJ.

I seen skinny kids with very little strength come to our dojo and develop extreme torque and strength within a year or two, and our dojo really enforces strength training. Not to bash on bjj as it’s really effective but it doesn’t push the use of strength as much as judo.

It’s always optimal to practice both a grappling martial art and a striking one, but if I had to pick one base martial art I’d pick judo

Why not both? Your boxing training can be your cardio. I lift weights and do muay thai as well

Just wanted to know if a guy my weight and height should be trying to box or just focus on gaining weight

From someone who's been into MAs for a long time (had to stop after 15years due to a bad injury) i'd recomend muay thai. Teaches you a lot about humility, respect, confidence etc. and you'll likely be drowning in pussy.

Both.
