Im a first degree black belt in brazilian jiu jitsu and this is widley known at my school so most people dont really mess with me or will avoid fighting at all costs. I recently got in my first real fight where the other guy actually knew how to fight (im a junior in highschool) he was a muy thai fighter now i went into the fight confident because of my jiu jitsu experience but i quickly realized that mut thai fighters arent very easy to take down i did end up taking him down and getting him in an arm triangle but the five minutes or so of stand up before me were horrible i didnt realise how bad i was at stand up before since i would always get a take down in the frist like twenty seconds so what im here to ask is for a good boxing workout that i can do on my own with a bag

There really isn’t much we can say to you here that will help you directly. Imagine trying to learn your BJJ on your own. It would have been really tough huh, and you wouldn’t be nearly as good as you are now, right? Stand up striking is just as much of an art as grappling can be, and to try to learn how to defend and attack on your feet without the help of a proficient teacher, isn’t going to do much for you.

The best advice I think I can give you is to join a martial art that offers mainly stand up. It sounds like you still want to focus mainly on your grappling skills. If that’s the case, which stand up art you choose doesn’t matter too much so long as they teach you how to adequately defend yourself while on your feet. If you truly want to add to your grappling skills, you might consider joining your school’s wrestling team. I’m not versed in BJJ or wrestling, but from what I understand, wrestling would offer you more options for take downs.

This probably wasn’t what you wanted to hear, but I hope it helped you anyhow.
