Re: best martial art that works

running away helps the best in proper pressure situations.

serious answers please, thats why i posted it in general and not in cafe.

Re: best martial art that works

Actually works? Research shows that the vast majority of "street fight" situations end up on the ground in about 20 seconds. Unless you are good Mike Tyson, counting on a decisive blow in 20 seconds is foolish. Try Judo or Ju-Jitsu, they teach you how to get someone to the ground and win.

Re: best martial art that works

well in that case would wrestling be the best option

Re: best martial art that works

No, Ju jistu and Judo teach arm bars and choke holds that cause the opponent to submit. Wrestling is more oriented toward pinning someones back to the ground, which has little practical effect. Ju-Jitsu and Judo both have excellent ground techniques.

The art of kicking in the nuts :p

If someone has grabbed you from behind and trying to choke you, stab him with a sharp object and twist it. You need to learn tricks...

Im thinking of enrolling for a black belt’s training.

I fought with my brothers and mostly defeated them without any training in martial arts :snooty:

Re: best martial art that works

Bachayy :eek:

One bro is 2 years older than me and the younger one. Okay he is young but was learning karate when I defeated him :snooty:

Re: best martial art that works

Learning a martial art doesn’t help if a person is caught off-guard. You catch someone by surprise and they won’t be able to defend themselves. It’s a fact. That’s how robbers, car jackets get you despite their dimmunitive size.

rizwanfareed - Rizz the Whiz,

I read an article about a program called FAST Defense in Men’s Health - Best Life magazine (April 2005 issue) and I found it quite appealing. Most street fights are over in 10-20 seconds and you need a presence of mind and extremely effective VERBAL and physical techniques.

Tae Kwon Do

Re: best martial art that works

I totally disagree, I got my blackbelt and really I can kick no arss. All you learn is “tables” and “sparring”. In the real world noone wants you to recite a routine before they start to noodle you.

hayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yah

hayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yah to you too…

Re: best martial art that works

Watch some UFC matches and you will get a nice spectrum of fighting styles. Most of the fighters use a mix of martial arts but specialize in one or another.

Re: best martial art that works

Pressure Points : Helpful, but gotta becareful you can leave longterm / perm. effect - whatever discpline you would choose for pressure points, will give you more techniques. hard to learn

boxing: Probably one of the easist to learn and quite effective. Can take care of most people even if they have some martial art training.

the israeel martial art? quite brutal but effective.

what about kickboxing: Kicks are what you can use the least in a "real fight". Hence taek-wan do is good for showing off mainly.

Judo / Karate : helpful as it teaches you to choose users weight and power against them. If you are weak / short in size - really consider this

Re: best martial art that works

Look just learn akido - The art of breaking bones. That is where you learn to kill people in one move. Dangerous stuff because they teach you to kill not to defend.
