Martial arts... best one??
|
|
Without getting into this too much (I know there are aficionados on martial arts) I need to know the answer to a couple of questions.
1) which is the best discipline to learn if you want to be able to kick the fuck out of someone in a street fight/protect your family...
2) which is the quickest discipline to learn to a competent standard...
3) combining the above: I want a destructive form of attack should I need it, and be able to master this in 72hours. Ho ho. Seriously, in a year or so. Maybe six months??
Taekwondo? Jujitsu? Kickboxing? Don't suggest something obscure like Bogator or Bakom where there is no chance of finding local classes.
HIT ME. Well, don't hit me. Not yet.

I am not interested in any 'sporting' aspect, I just want to be able to disable an attacker.
I would join a bog standard self defence class, but the additional 'fitness' aspect to Krav Maga appeals.
Being a naturally wriggly type who is also celibate, I have a feckload of excess energy to work off.

MMA is a sport just as boxing is. It's just earlier in it's development cycle.
Anyone who knows anything about Martial Arts and isn't just an idiot blowing the trumpet of their own style will tell you that each style has it's own advantages and disadvantages, and that a competent fighter is always at an advantage over a less competent fighter regardless of style.
Usual nonsense being spouted on here though. Lots of blacker cats.

An MMA fighter would not last 2 seconds in a Boxing ring with a pro Boxer, completely the same if you reversed that scenario
However someone who is trained to throw punch combinations is far more likely get the better of someone trained to grab, kick & elbow as they are all singular motions. Once the puncher is taken to the ground however they are more than likely completely fucked
Floyd Mayweather Jr earns more money in a night than the entire UFC roster earn in a calendar year and there`s a very good reason for it. One is an art form that has been studied for well over a hundred years, the other is essentially just street fighting in a constructed cage

He was big fan of boxing as a fighting style, and made a point of dancing around boxing at some point in many of his films.
I boxed, so I'm biased, but I've never come across anyone who was proficient enough with a kicking style of fighting that I couldn't move well before they could off load. Unless you're fighting someone who is useless enough to stand there you have to be a miraculously good kicker to make it count. I've a deep respect for Thai boxers, that's an immensely tough sport, but again, in a fight the truth is most don't last long at all, and if you can hit fast and accurately for a few seconds, without getting hit yourself, that's normally enough.

The one a lot of top boys I've come across use involves their partners. You need to train Mrs Anxious in the technique of dragging you away by the arm while wailing 'come on Dave, come on babe ees not werfit'... and you allowing yourself to be dragged away while saying 'let me go babe I'll faacking kill im'. Seen that countless times, very effective.
That and windmilling as FC says.

Fucking hell. I was expecting seven replies. There are 104. Has anyone read all of them and is there actually any interesting/genuine info provided?
What I'm saying is: can someone read through this shit then give me an answer in three succinct sentences.
