Martial arts

[Alien djinn]

What is the most efficient fighting style for you guys? Wich one do you prefer? Why? Personnaly i love boxing cause it's the most intuitive, simple and direct and it's god damn powerfull. As for the grappling i love wrestling , for the same reason

[James Dean]

Probably Brazilian Jujitsu. Mainly for self defense reasons.

For self defense reason? Do you really plan on laying on the ground with a men in a street fight? I mean yeah BJJ is cool but not the one i would practrice if i were only seeking for self-defense skills. But i surely would not want to wrestle with you if you're good at BJJ , i would strike

[Vocabulous]

Well you can break martial arts into 3 basic catagories (weapons not included), and of the arts that I've practiced, these are my favourite:

Striking: Muay Thai. When it comes to hitting things, MT is dominant. Has long range, short range, infighting, and outfighting techniques. If you want to learn how to fight, MT all the way.

Ground fighting: BJJ. 'Nuff said. You want to control or restrain an opponent without causing lasting damage to him/her? You want to be totally at home on the ground? BJJ is for you.

Self defense: Krav Maga. I learned how to fight with MT and BJJ, but Krav taught me how to survive. Heavy focus on fighting while disoriented, fighting against multiple attackers, both armed and unarmed. It covers both striking and grappling, but it's primary focus is on how to act and what to do in adverse situations, not the technique itself so I supplement my Krav with MT and BJJ.
DISCLAIMER: the term Krav Maga is not trademarked and as a result, any average joe can claim to teach it. If you want to try it out for yourself, find a reputable gym affiliated with respected organizations including but not limited to: IKMF or internat'l Krav Maga federation (i am affiliated with these guys), KMG or Krav Maga global, and KMW or Krav Maga worldwide.

Sidenote: in a self defense situation, you want to spend the absolute least amount of time possible on the ground. Never assume that there is one attacker, because if you are wasting time RNC'ing attacker 1, attacker 2 can easily kick your shit in and you are stuck tangled up with attacker 1 so you can't defend yourself.

My legs are extremely strong , that's why I prefer taekwondo , but i combine it with police self-defence and kick-boxing. In my whole life i've been in real figh once and this combination brought my opponent a nightmarish fight! But i don't do martial arts for kicking asses , it's a good working out though.

Boxing is amazing. Direct as you say , but for me ( my hands aren't as firm as my legs ) is not a good option.:D

( you and I must wrestle someday u know , jus 4 fun :cool: )

I agree muay thai and BJJ are very efficient. But my personal fighting philosophy is the same as Bruce lee's : "The minimum of effort , for the maximum of effectiveness". In other words : Make it technically simple, it has to work easily. Boxing and wrestling are perfect for that, wrestling is the oldest form of fighting sport and can be found in all the cultures of the world (europe,mongolia, turkey, senegal, ancient greece and rome ect...), cause the moves are simple and don't require much of skills, it's natural and effective. As for boxing it focuses on the main weapons of the human body, the most instictive to use, wich are of course the fists. We don't lose time trying to perform high or middle kicks wich are almost useless and risky. We go straight to the point , fists are easy to use , and we know no one uses his fists better than a boxer.
Oh and for krav maga, like you say it tells you how to react but i really don't trust some of the techniques, trying to grab and turn the wrist or the arm sounds like bullshit to me, but what i like are the techniques of throat striking, eye gouging and using your environment.
But at the end of the day , for a life or death fight i would simply buy a gun or throw a rock in the face lol.

While I agree that simplicity is best, if a boxer and a Muay Thai practitioner of equal skill went up against eachother, MT would win 99% of the time because they have just as much skill with punching as boxers, plus they know how to throw kicks, knees, and elbows. I don't care if you can knock me out with one punch, I can keep myself out of your range with kicks all day long. Muay Thai just gives you more tools, it's as simple as that. Same goes for BJJ, sure a wrestler knows how to take you down, but so does a BJJ practitioner. Plus, once you are on the ground, BJJ has dozens of joint locks and chokes whereas the goal in most wrestling styles is just to pin. As for Krav, I don't really know what you are trying to discribe with the grabbing stuff as we rarely grab as a defense (unless it is against a weapon, and even then we only grab if the weapon is stationary, like a gun, and not moving like a knife). And finally, I am not 21 so I cannot conceal carry a gun yet.

[Keats]

Muay Thai for striking in my opinion, having been to Thailand and trained for a few months i can say that it's brutal. I've been training for about 4 years now, and i can say for sure that it's brutal and effective.
In terms of grappling, i've been training BJJ for almost 2 years and loving every second. It's second to none in terms of submissions and ground control - however i will admit it lacks on the takedown front (lucky i train oly wrestling too)

I've taken a few classes of JKD and Kali, which were both enjoyable but not really my thing.

[Alien djinn]

I have practriced muay thai/Kickboxing for six months and taekwondo for five years so trust me i know how to kick, my friends even ask me to teach them high and middle kick. You know i'm impressive with my kicks on a punching bag but i have often tried to kick in fights (friendly fights) and didn't do any damage even thought i was really trying hard. I did just a little bit of boxing but when i punch it lands half of the time , plus when i kick i sometimes end up falling because the guy catched my leg and threw me. So since i only trust my experience, i conclude that i better stick with the punches and not try risky moves. As for the grappling i only did 1 year of judo and Never did wrestling but when i wrestle with friends i use wrestling, not judo (i still don't have judo reflexes but wrestling comes naturally).

Well, you are kicking to the head. A kick to the head is slow, inaccurate, easily telegraphed, and lacks power. And that's coming from a guy who trained karate for 8 years. High kicks and even medium hieght kicks are worthless in any situation other than point sparring, were power doesn't matter. Front kicks and low round kicks to the legs are very effective both as an actual tool, and as a way to bait an opponent. Heck, you don't even have to land the kick, just throw one out there to make some space. I have dedicated my life to martial arts and purposefully tried to gain experience in every style I could (current tally for those playing at home is 8 years of karate, 3 years of fencing, 4 years each of BJJ and Muay Thai, and 2 1/2 years of Krav Maga), and frankly, kicks are OP. You just have to have the experience in using them. Again, don't kick at anything above a floating rib, or you will not make contact or get caught 10 times out of 12.

[Zenos]

I would say Bartitsu a victorian era martial art from Britiam that's been revived it's based on Shinden Fudo Ryu jujutsu ,Kodokan Judo ( of which BJJ is an offshoot). As it became established in London, the art expanded to incorporate combat techniques from other jujutsu styles as well as from British boxing, Swiss schwingen, French savate and a defensive la canne (stick fighting) style that had been developed by Pierre Vigny of Switzerland.

Also it must be taken into consideration that the kicks go no higher then the waist!

I agree low kicks are more usefull than those useless high kicks. Personnally i Never got hurt by low kicks but i remember some times when it really made me lose balance and it Broke my defence. Maybe i just need to learn how to use them better. But i have a boxing style so do you think i can still have some good low kicks if i have a boxing stance and i usually attack while moving forward ?

Personally I prefer a square or more boxing like stance, it allows you to kick equally fast with either leg. My own stance looks like this: chest square, arms outstretched and hand open, not closed fists (helps you block things sooner). Hips square, left leg a half step forward, legs bent (keeps your knees from breaking when kicked), left foot angled inwards slightly, I find it helps me stay on my feet if I get pushed from any direction. weight distribution is is about 45% front leg, 55% back leg, keep on the balls of your feet for Odvious reasons. When I kick I don't bend my knee much (Also called chambering the leg, see: http://pad1.whstatic.com/images/thumb/4/4a/Deliver-a-Roundhouse-Kick-in-Tae-Kwon-Do-Step-1.jpg/670px-Deliver-a-Roundhouse-Kick-in-Tae-Kwon-Do-Step-1.jpg) chambering helps generate power, but is slow and broadcasts your actions. As you get experience with kicking it becomes easier to generate power without chambering. Targets for kicks that I use are nerve bundles in the outer thigh or groin, knees to distract or feint, defensive front kicks to either hip to off balance or in some cases knock down the opponent, and the solar plexus to wind the opponent.

[Alien djinn]

I'll train to improve my kicking skills. It's easy to do the movement correctly but the difficult thing is to tuch and hurt the guy. I'll train for that but I'll keep myboxing style for the moment.i just love the mike Tyson/Joe Frazier style, you know the one when you keep moving forward slip and counter, even thought my coach used to tell me that it's not adapted to me cause I'm tall and not very large and i have very long arms so he told me to keep the distance. The truth is: it works but I find the Mike Tyson style more exciting and stylish lol. It looks badass

[Syrum]

I personally use Systema. I've found it to work very effectively. The idea, if an attacker makes one move, you overwhelm his capabilities with attack after attack. You play with him. I also know the standard military training hand to hand combat. I do kick boxing and street boxing where I'm from. I have a decent amount of experience.

Ohh you're russian, i love russia. I think they're good in fighting there aren't they lol? I saw videos of systema but correct me if i'm wrong but it seems too soft for fighting, not enough agressive.

[Babs]

I took Tae Kwon Do as a kid and got to a green belt, but the other kids laughed at me when I had seizures and my instructors were assholes so that kind of ruined it for me.

That said, I'm gonna give a rookie answer and say Krav Maga.

Nice, i got the red-black belt in taekwondo (the equivalent of blackbelt for kids) i practriced it for 5 or 6 years, it gave me the basics of martial art.But why the other kids were laughing at you ? Oh and they say that Krav maga is good for girls.

[kama15]

Judo is good but not in a fight against 2 or more people. Only if you are really good in judo maybe

[Typhlosion]

Most efficient fighting style? The words. The pen is mightier than the sword ;)

Pfft, really? Running is not a bad tactic I use.

Lol , the words? Bullshit. Running? Yes, not a bad tactic lol. But not fun and not honorable. ;)

[stism]

I've hurt people badly many times, just sparring, and been hurt badly, too. The untrained person is just helpless against a skilled fighter. If you can't break legs with single kicks, you've had almost no training at all. I made black belt in 10 months and in 5 months, I was kicking butt on guys who had trained 10 months. Some people just progress a lot faster than others, at pretty much anything.

[Airrd]

I remember taking Aikido classes when I was younger but my friend takes kickboxing classes and I wouldn't mess with her

[stism]

If it's really serious, you need a weapon, and if you have more than one attacker, or if your attacker has a projectile weapon, then you need a gun, and nothing less will suffice. I am aware of how hard guns can be to obtain, even in the US, if you're not yet 21 years old. That fact does not change how badly you need one. It just makes you substitute less-efficient weapons, or have some sense and not get into such lethal type trouble.

This post is amazing. I was going to just pick at part of it, but it just got better and better. If you are getting hurt sparring you are doing it wrong. Sparring is not ment to harm. Granted, accidents happen, but still. Next, How do you know that you can break someone's leg without actually breaking one? What kind of kick are we talking about? A stomp kick, sure, it's easier, but not as easy as people think, the knee would give out long before any bone broke. It takes 425 psi to break a femur alone. That's a lot. How often do you find it necessary to break a leg? Finally, a black belt in 10 months? In what art would you be able to cover every aspect of the art in ten months? Karate took me 8 years to get a black belt, but ten months? Yeah, no. That's literally not possible.

Dude I'm not taking up for stism ,but the late Joe Lewis earned his black belt in Shorin-ryu Karate after one year of training,so it's possible!

Anyone here ever see the movie "The Raid 2?" If so, what did you think of it as far as the martial arts goes?

Dude excuse me I don't think you can break a leg with a single kick... Black belt in 10 months? Hum... What kind of Dojo will let you have the black bekt in 10 months? Sounds like you are exagerating. See pro muay thai and mma fighters? Do you see them break legs in one kick ? No, so according to you pro fighters have no training at all?

Well she's serious about it and I don't give a fuck about it like I don't need to run up a wall or do a flip to knock someone out

[stism]

even flat floot rdhouse kicks have broken legs, as have kicks with the shin. I was referrig to front snapkicks or side thrust kicks to the knee. if you have your knee joint ruined in such a fashion, you'll WISH that your injury was 'just" a broken shin or thigh bone! Those can be repaired, your knee cannot, not from being pushed 3-4" out of socket, which such a kick can EASiLY do. There's men who can snap a 4" verticall wooden post, set in concrete, with such kicks, barefoot. the break occurs right at the surface of the concrete, with the kick landing at hip height.

I was wrong he earned it in seven months,not ten and what you said about VIP treatment and being a fighting celebrity was bull!


Joseph Henry Lewis was born on March 7, 1944, in Knightdale, North Carolina. He joined the United States Marine Corps on March 13, 1962 and was stationed at Cherry Point in Havelock, North Carolina from July 20, 1962 to April 12, 1964. He studied Shorin-ryu Karate with Eizo Shimabukuro, John Korab, Chinsaku Kinjo and Seiyu Oyata while stationed in Okinawa between May 21, 1964 and November 29, 1965, earning his black belt in a mere seven months.


So he wasn't a celebrity back then

[Capto]

I don't particularly care too much for fighting, but as for martial arts in general, I've had a tiny bit of experience with kyūdō and only a tad more with kendō.

[Vocabulous]

even flat floot rdhouse kicks have broken legs, as have kicks with the shin. I was referrig to front snapkicks or side thrust kicks to the knee. if you have your knee joint ruined in such a fashion, you'll WISH that your injury was 'just" a broken shin or thigh bone!

There's men who can snap a 4" verticall wooden post, set in concrete, with such kicks, barefoot. the break occurs right at the surface of the concrete, with the kick landing at hip height.

You would break the bones in your foot before you broke a leg. Why you may ask? Because the bones in your foot are thinner and less dense than those in your leg. Totally crazy right? Kicks to the knee? Literally the easiest thing to minimize damage. Keep your knees bent, that way your knee will be flex to one side or another, severely lessening the force put on it. The only thing a kick to the knee on even a novice opponent will get you is a temporary limp. Other than extreme cases, the only way you can break a knee with a front kick or otherwise, is if the knee is fully straight and locked. In this state, you have little to no range of motion. Finally, of course it broke at the cement, because the wood was fixed to the ground. Your feet, however, are not cemented to the floor, and as a result will be able to absorb the power of the kick much easier. Side note: do you know what wood it was? Oak is most similar to bone (type 1 bones at least, like the tibia), and coincidentally, also one of the most sturdy of woods. My bet, it was pine or some other soft wood. You can go through that stuff like butter. Not even remotely impressive unless it is oak, which, also coincidentally, is impossible to prove. I know my shit (mostly because I don't have anything better to do than train and study this shit), and you should study up quick otherwise you just look like a keyboard warrior brainwashed with bullshido

[Alien djinn]

I remember now , I know a guy who broke his leg in a Muay thai fight because his opponent kicked his supporting leg while he was kicking. So yeah I think it's possible but it's not easy and you can't do it if your opponent has a good stance. Of course it's easy with wood but with a person it's a completely different thing. But yes, it's not impossible.

I don't particularly care too much for fighting, but as for martial arts in general, I've had a tiny bit of experience with kyūdō and only a tad more with kendō.

I've never practriced any martial art where we use weapons. I would like to learn knife fighting though. By the way I love your signature message, it's funny lol.
