if it has sparring it will help you out in fighting in general.
kickboxing/muay thai and judo seems to be generally accepted as a godlike combo. or even just boxing to make people frustrated as frick with your weaving https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSX0PCQXiO4
Where the frick is the average person going to find a gym for that? Almost none exist and even if you find one and drive all the way there it still might be a McDojo.
Those places are all shitholes so either you need to live there or you need to commute there for an hour or two. It’s fricking moronic and not worth it. Most states don’t even have one gym.
because everyone pulls out a weapon when theres some fighting happening, how many fights have you seen where it goes from punching/grappling to shooty shooty dead dead? 99% of the time that happens it some kind of gang bullshit
general rule of thumb is that if you're fighting a white person, you're duking it out, if you're fighting someone of any other ethnic persuasion you are fighting for your life and should act accordingly.
Only as effective as the person using it ie: your mileage with any martial art will vary depending on where you fall on the Absolute Pussy <-> Legit Maniac scale. Absolute pussies can be very good at any given martial art, then just fricking die weeping at the first sign of actual violence.....conversely, legit maniacs could attend one or two Karate classes as a 9 year old, then 15 years later just stab a c**t to death with a screwdriver due to some petty argument. Tbf, martial arts are kind of a meme when it comes to unregulated, unorganised street violence.
However you do have to be a mean and aggressive person to avoid getting seriously hurt in a streetfight, Saenchai would get fricking killed if he just rolled up outside a biker bar and started talking shit. Buakaw would be hospitalised if he went down the wrong alleyway and got knifed in the spine by some homeless dude.
>Saenchai would get fricking killed if he just rolled up outside a biker bar and started talking shit. Buakaw would be hospitalised if he went down the wrong alleyway and got knifed in the spine by some homeless dude.
You'd have to be a moron to seriously believe this.
Mebbe i'm a moron, but i'm not gonna get myself killed trying to use muay thai instincts to cartwheel kick a biker gang, or deflect a knife attack with my shin
Obviously dont fight someone with a weapon, and you cant do anything against someone stabbing you from behind
And i think theres a point about not everyone being cut out for street violence, but good combat sports are only very little removed from "real" fights, and untrained people simply have no skill
You learn everything that matters in a fight and more in martial arts and its somewhat tuned to your own personality, but youre very stupid to assume a guy like saenchai doesnt know what to do if a big guy came wildly swinging at him, just because he does funny cartwheel memes and shows off trip counters in the ring
Obviously everyone gets fricked up against a knife, but the guy who can effortlessly teep a knife wielder on his ass is going to fare a lot better than the guy who can't
you are a literal moron if you think saenchai would even dream of attempting a cartwheel in a streetfight. but, humouring your room-temperature IQ for a moment, if he is capable of landing cartwheel kicks AT WILL against ELITE fighters, what do you think he can land on sonny the diabetic biker?
Lol no
I'm just wear a T-Shirt and your meme martial art ist completely useless. Even most jackets would just rip because no one wears your autistic bathrobes in public
lifting your legs is not a good idea in a street fight,
stick to basics, boxing and dogeing, also you should join a gym or club so you can spar to condition your body to strickes and that you are not made of paper, altho strikes to the head can lead to some damage
Right above the knee hurts the most, especially if you angle your foot to hook the back side
Against an untrained person that can be enough for them to limp for a week
>I'm a 32 year old our of shape male with a herniated disc fricked up back.
It's over, train gun and go running/hiking with your family so they're fit as well.
You just posted a picture of a man who can kill your entire family with his bare hands.
MT is VERY effective in street fights, but you should never get into any street fights period because your mind is the most effective weapon, blah blah etc.
pretty effective
>some time of grappling + muay thai = best combo imo

Very effective. Shotokan for long distance brutal strikes and Muay Thai for the clinch.
>Shotokan
Kyokushin is superior in every way
Where the frick is the average person going to find a gym for that? Almost none exist and even if you find one and drive all the way there it still might be a McDojo.
Boston, LA/SF/SD, or Seattle. Maybe Las Vegas as well?
>doing karate anywhere else than japan
just fricking learn boxing at this point
Those places are all shitholes so either you need to live there or you need to commute there for an hour or two. It’s fricking moronic and not worth it. Most states don’t even have one gym.
Im a former karate guy and I'd say stick with muay thai. Plenty of range in a kick.
Shotokan is dogshit
t. Shotokan blackbelt
Brainlet/never set foot in a legit gym take
>pulls out pepper spray
>pulls out knife
>pulls out gun
You won’t do shit

0 but i dont live in USA

Nvm am moron

>fighting with your hands
martial arts are great and all, but...
Are Thais actually mixed with Indians like Central Asians are mixed with Iranians?
The ones I saw in airport were more or less standart asiatics.
Buakaw is of kuy descent
Theyre darker, hes also pretty tall compared to thais of his age

You don't have to be a mean or aggressive person to use martial arts. You just train instincts and then fall back on those instincts when necessary.

>shoots you
Gun > Knife > Muay Thai + Grappling (preferably wrestling so you can ragdoll people standing) > all other meme martial arts.
Reason why im not putting boxing on here is because no elbows, no clinch, no knees + youre not mayweather so you wont slip shit.
Sprinting = Gun in terms of utility.
is judo good for fighting people at the club?
I have too much time and energy nowadays I want to pick a sport
I feel like boxing plus judo and you're going to btfo >90% on the male population.
Judo is the most dangerous MA for street fighting.
A throw to concrete is much more lethal than any punch or kick.
The soft matt and shirtlessness are the reasons why Judo is not effective in MMA fighting.
Lol no
I'm just wear a T-Shirt and your meme martial art ist completely useless. Even most jackets would just rip because no one wears your autistic bathrobes in public
no GI judo is a thing
Precisely why wrestling will always be superior.
Depends on if cars are driving down this street. If yes then not very effective

An untrained person cannot take a leg kick
This. And a trained person can throw a leg kick faster than an untrained person can throw a jab.
Where would you even kick them? The ankle/shin/knee/thigh? I think knee hurts a lot?
Right above the knee hurts the most, especially if you angle your foot to hook the back side
Against an untrained person that can be enough for them to limp for a week
Like this
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0I1xOHpiLa0
Thigh or calf.
right above the knee on the IT band
if that shit locks up, that leg is literally unusable until it stops cramping
Basic boxing mogs all street fighting 'techniques'
>Be boxer
>Duck a punch low like I'm trying to tunnel straight to China because I don't know kicks exist
>Get kneed in the face
>Die
>Be boxer
>Don't duck
>Live
>Be boxer
>this time keep a bladed stance shuffling in and out of range of opponent
>get crippled by legs kicks
>die
>street fighting
not living in a shithole is more effective
>wakes up 5- 10 years later and discovers their city is now a shithole
>How effective is Muay Thai for street fighting?
According to the actual Sagat, only punches and elbows work in a real fight, kicks and knees don't.
>Muay mat prefers punches
wow, enlightening
right, kicks magically become useless when youre not in a ring
If I saw some gay throw some street fighter 2 sweep I’d push them over and stomp their head on the pavement
of course you would without any practice
in reality you wouldnt do shit moron
Bros, should I learn judo or wrestling? I’m conflicted
Whichever is easier for you to learn and/or higher quality instruction.
I'm a 32 year old our of shape male with a herniated disc fricked up back.
What martial art would you suggest I take up to train once a week to offer me basic protection and to protect my family if someone does go down?
>I'm a 32 year old our of shape male with a herniated disc fricked up back.
It's over, train gun and go running/hiking with your family so they're fit as well.
No gun in my country. I cant run fast due to spine.
Pls help.
Boxing good?
Yeah train boxing and carry a knife. Then in self defense instead of doing jab-cross, you just use your boxing skills to do jab-stab combos.
Kek
Carry two knives and just do your boxing combos
Imagine their face after a jab cross hook uppercut
Imagine your hands and wrists after a jab hook uppercut with no gloves.
Elbows are objectively better unarmed striking weapons.
Yep traditional martial arts are a meme but they are right about palm strikes
>they are right about palm strikes
Can you elaborate?
Self defense it a meme. A knife beats any MA.
Just spend that training time making more money so you don't live in a shit neighberhood where you don't have to worry about security.
I love training MA but realized they are fricking useless for defense. They have other benefits like mental and physical health.
Better than straight boxing, worse than wrestling, much worse than running.

Training for street fighting in 2023 is so moronic. When will you guys realize real life isnt like the movies
