If you did boxing in the past for a year would you remember it a few years later if you get into a fight?

I did boxing for about a year and i got my boxers license but then quit, lets say like two years from now if i got into a fight on the street would i still remember how to box

You did say for one year right? Not really you have to practice everyday to stay sharp . If you were in a street fight which don't last more than 2 minute you would not have time to start trying to box because you guys would be wrestling .

It depends how long you took it and if you sparred and went into fights. If you just trained then it wont help you out that much, in a street fight though it's VERY different from boxing. Fights are going to end up on the ground at one point and in boxing you don't know how to punch form the ground. Boxing involves transfering momentum from your feet up through your body and snapping it out through your hand. Sooooo... it depends how long you trained.

To a certain extent. In a street fight, boxing doesn't do a lot for you. Most street fights don't stay upright for long, they usually go to the ground. The best thing that boxing gives you, as far as streetfighting goes, is the ability to take a punch. That, and since most streetfighters will willingly grapple, if you punch them, they will turn to striking you, leaving you with at the most, one hand you have to break free from in order to extract yourself.

Sure you will but you will not be good as before. If you start practicing again you will be better. Your muscles have a memory. For example, I use to workout and my muscles grown up a lot but I stopped going to the gym for 8 months. I started again but I couldn't lift as much as before I did. After 1 week I could lift the stuff I use to lift before.

u got your boxers license??? u should no if you still got it or not im pretty sure u will no how to punch u will never forget how to punch might b sloppy compared to before but u will still no

Muscle memory, if you were trained correctly you should have the correct fundamental techniques for the rest of your life

Not if the other guy has a knife
