I did Aikido when I was young, a lot of it depends on less skilled opponents attacking you in very predictable ways.

I hate seeing that clip. But its important to show it to demonstrate that by following fake martial arts people can get hurt.
I like how unlike some videos this one acknowledges that rules in mma prevent certain techniques and systems from being effective. Especially because your not allowed to kill you opponent or do damage to certain areas.
The thing is martial arts that claim to be "too dangerous" overestime their ability to use those dangerous techniques, well, because they never actually used them. They practiced those techniques the same way they practiced the other useless stuff, without challenging them against non compliant partners. An MMA guy would be more effective at gouging, hooking, groin punching or any other dirty fighting than those "dangerous" martial artists simply because they know how to fight and create opportunities for such moves. Most of them are essentially impossible outside of grappling anyway, trying to strike someones eyes out with your fingers is a great way to break them.
@@janapewen362 Are we talking about the practitioners or the martial art itself? Because if it's strictly about the martial art then logically mma + groin strikes > mma. Almost no one is going to seriously practice that instead of mma so the practioners of mma will be much better fighters but the martial art is still theoretically superior. Also there's no need to put "dangerous" in quotes... I understand you dislike those martial arts but it's pretty accurate to say that they aren't practiced because they are too dangerous.
@@DIVAD291 I am criticising the martial arts and their interperations of dangerous techniques. Eye gouges and groin punches ofcourse are effective, but practicing martial arts that claim to be "too dangerous" does not increase your ability to use those techniques effectively. I am using quotes because sparring those techniques may be dangerous, but the martial art itself sure isn't more "dangerous" meaning "able to inflict damage effectively", but I get where you are coming from.
@@janapewen362 Yep, a lot of people learning Krav Maga seems to think they can fight toe to toe against seasoned professional or even amateur fighters. You are probably only good against non-fighters, which is easily more than 95% of people, so Krav Maga is indeed useful in this regard. It is more like survival technique rather than martial arts, so when your skill is only Krav Maga and you are facing an actual fighter, then running away while constantly looking for cheap shot opportunities is probably the best technique.
@@janapewen362 yeah, also, if an mma fighter punched hard or long enough... you're dead, easliy. If there weren't any rules against killing your opponent then just punching them as hard as you can in the head or choking them to death would still be very viable strategies. An mma fighters martial arts are incredibly dangerous, otherwise there wouldn't be rules against killing your oppnents.

@@jerrysmooth24 Yes, good luck to amateur MMA fighters taking on Israeli Special Forces (high level Krav Maga practictioners) Also you take the fight in its natural element. I will take a Krav Maga fighter or a Kajukenbo fighter over an MMA fighter of equal experience in a street fight any day. When you are trained to avoid things like groin strikes and eye strikes, going against a dirty street fighter (Kajukenbo) or a military member trained for people trying to kill them (Krav Maga) will cause you to lose things.
@@geoffreysorkin5774 “trained to avoid things like groin strikes and eye strikes” do you have any idea how hard it is to actually hit someone in the face who has good boxing and head movement have a look at this video kzhead.info/sun/pLeRYLR7iIqfgmw/bejne.html Now imagine trying to do that with a finger tip instead of a whole fist. Like literally put your finger in front of your eye and see how little you have to move your head to avoid it, head movement and coordination is infinitely more important here and a mma guy will be way more skilful at that. Same goes for leg kicks as well. If anything the mma guy can use these illegal moves better because they can actually place their shots more accurately and have better strike coordination
@@samr4831 Eye strikes aren't just using your fingertips to target someone's eyes. If you think eye strikes and eye pokes are the same thing, you are an idiot. Eye strikes are open handed face strikes at certain angles from certain hand positions. Also, the average amateur (and plenty of professional) MMA Fighters don't have world class head movement like boxers, hence why they get their asses kicked when they try boxing (see Mark Hunt and Conor McGregor). Boxers tend to do poorly in MMA as well. It is is a different skillset. Finally, just to contrast, an MMA fighter trained in wrestling, Muy Thai, and Brazilian Ju Jitsu (i.e. the standard well rounded MMA Fighter) is inherently disadvantaged to someone trained in a fighting style that blends those and is also trained to deliberately go for permanent damage moves when you are in a fight with no rules, no referee, and no ring/cage (which is how Kajukenbo and Krav Maga work). MMA fighters aren't trained for street fights, they aren't trained for taking on multiple opponents. They are trained for one thing, winning at a sport.
I like how in every martial arts demonstration the attacker freezes as soon as the defender begins their counter action.
Yeah that's usually how demonstrations work....
Thats because they have to do it slow enough where people can understand. It would be stupid to try and teach a technique at full speed.
@@Akaya7777 imo the demos should show it slow and with a non-resisting opponent *first,* but then do it again, full speed, and on a resisting opponent. Maybe not tell the resisting opponent what moves are being demonstrated, and be blindfolded or something during the first slow demonstration of a technique on the other guy.
@@Akaya7777 well i mean, its stupid to teach techniques that are completely imaginary and dont work in real life scenarios either but lol ok
@@C_The_Guy of course thats stupid, where did I say teaching defense moves that don’t work isn’t stupid? Not sure what you’re trying to argue.
Biggest problem for Sumo is just how limited it is in an MMA environment, beyond just the stamina, the entire purpose of Sumo is to force the opponent to either step outside the dohyo or touch the ground with part of the body other than the feet. Striking is limited, and the ground game is non existent as the fight is already over when somebody touches the ground in sumo. It is at its core a beautiful and surprisingly complex and intriguing martial art to watch... but its standing on ceremony and a very wilfully restricted, pure ruleset means that huge parts of the MMA game are simply not possible to learn in sumo, and because professional sumo means regulating entire sections of your life, you're also not able to train elements of combat outside of sumo during that time either.
Another factor is how being an overweight athlete wears down your body. Akebono was a Yokozuna (grand champion) and never fought in MMA or K-1 in his athletic prime... he only dabbled in it b/c his real calling, Sumo, wasn't realistic for him anymore. It's safe to say that Akebono, Emmanuel Yarbough, Teili Tuli, etc. were all worn down from years of 'weight training' and wern't at their best trying MMA.
That is, unless they are practicing ANCIENT sumo... Then they're probably op af.
Exactly. Any rikishi would obviously be completely lost on the ground considering the entire point is to stay upright and on the dohyo. Where many is Grand Ozumo come up as judoka, and can grapple and throw on their feet, once they lose their balance and go down they’ve already mentally lost…unless it’s Asashoryu. I would put a prime Asashoryu against anyone anywhere anytime 🤷🏻♂️. Hakuho’s a beast himself. Many modern guys like Ishiura and Kotoeko are stacked little muscle men. Not all rikishi are morbidly obese.
Sumo shines when you're On a high floor in a skyscraper then you win by throwing your opponent off the Balcony
Bruce Lee is the Godfather of MMA. He was one of the first martial artists to study a different martial art from his primary one (considered a huge no-no back in the day). He was also the first to make martial arts films that were less fantasy (eg. fighting in mid-air), and made it look more realistic. This also inspired future action films as well.
Bruce Lee never participated in any tournament. He has absolutely zero credibility either as a fighter or as an instructor. There is barely even one recording of the guy actually fighting. What's amazing is that so many people assume that he was an amazing fighter without any evidence apart from his own claims.

A pretty legitimate list. I applaud you for not attacking Taekwondo or Karate like too many mma people do. No, by themselves they are not well suited for mma, but they are legitimate and are a part of most mma fighters repertoire.
You could say the same for boxing, muay Thai etc. The difference is that karate and taekwondo you can't be powerful in kumite which makes them scrutinised a lot
Yeah that's true even when's it's proven to work. People will still hate on it. Any fighting style by itself doesn't work well.
I know right. So refreshing to see a list where Taekwondo doesn't get trash talked for once. Most people still respect karate though, but TKD constantly gets bullied and laughed at within the martial arts community, even though it's as legit as any other MA (not counting McDojo's of course). It's gotten so bad that even TKD pracritioners trashtalk their own art.
Glad to see Karate not getting trashed. I’ve trained in Wado Ryu Karate for quite a few years. It’s kind of it’s own mixed martial arts, abit of jiujutsu in there, throws, striking etc. Like Sensei Miyagi said, best defence, no be there 😂
It simply wouldn't be possible to trash karate in MMA, considering how well Machida, Wonderboy, MVP and others have done with it. And we've seen Pettis, Yair, Rose, Barboza and others win fights with taekwondo kicks. Bas Rutten incorporated both effectively into his style for years.
Correction: It's only been recent that we've *rediscovered* a lot of this stuff. The martial arts of the past were much more comprehensive systems than they were 100 years ago. Schools that by 1900 were only teaching judo were teaching not just today's "mixed martial arts" but also weapon skills like the spear and sword. Today's martial arts can only be "mixed" because the arts of the past were separated. But even in 1900, there were things like Bartitsu, which despite its silly nature was actually a real combat style that combined jujutsu, boxing, and cane fighting (as canes were a common implement of the time). Just look at what's happened to TKD over the last 40 or 50 years. It went from a well-rounded system of striking and grappling to kick-fencing. Tai Chi's silly arm circles used to be things like ankle picks and leg sweeps. MMA isn't a mixed martial art, its a complete martial art, like TKD, Jujutsu, and Karate used to be.
Yknow if youre talking about japanese ju jitsu its still all rounded. Striking, Blocking, Throwing, Pressure points, Joint manipulation, Ground fighting, Grappling, Standing and ground locks, Finishers even Defense against moved you learn on lower belts.

Capoeira forces you to develop a keen eye for reading your opponent's movement. Foreigners may get to see the dancing part more often than the "roda" (or "the circle") aspect of it. Capoeiristas (practitioners of capoeira) are encouraged to step in the roda against an opponent that he doesn't know, with very little to no rules besides "use capoeira". (Fun fact: capoeira as a whole where prohibited in Brazil in the 1930's because those rodas usually take place in the streets and ended up in full blown gang fights among the gyms at site) It's a martial art so focused in "get smart, get good" that, in order to get a leveled up "cordão" (capoeira's belt) a capoerista have to fight an experienced capoeirista and the fight only stops when he gets leg swept and take the fall. Capoeira is a street wise martial art. So, if you see capoeira moves landing in caged fights, probably it came out of nowhere or as a form of taunting.

Well, about Chinese kung fu, I have learnt that most of it has disappeared over time, the real practical kung fu is not practised in many institutions and fake kungfu such as chi are practised.However, there are other very practical martial arts of china such as Shaolin Kung fu and Bai jin quan.
So from what I'm seeing, several of the styles on this list are not good in MMA.... because they're outdated. I think this especially applies to Jeet Kune Do- a style (that's not really a style) that was never fully developed because its pioneer died prematurely.

Give me a few more years, I'm working on it.
I went to a local pro wrestling show a few years back. One of the wrestlers was dressed like Luigi from Mario Bros, and he literally did a spinning uppercut on his opponent and shouted "SHORYUKEN". Pro wrestling is the realest martial art.
All the force from the uppercut would be lost from the jumping unless they get hit while their still grounded, so it's making an uppercut which already works, not work. It's why you don't "Tiger Uppercuts" in Muay Thai either.
@@jamestoney6599 the key would be landing the uppercut just before the actual jump in the technique, that way you're imparting all the force from the jump into the uppercut.
Machida is the closest we will ever get.
I think alot of the momentum fighting like, Aikdo and Systema are good for self-defense, where an attacker is trying to catch you off guard or doesn't expect you to do anything. In a fight where the other person is expecting you to be prepared for a fight lol, it doesnt translate a well. They know they're balance and momentum have to be controlled. And Sumo wrestling i honestly think it isnt that terrible to translate into an mma fight. It just seems that one, they are often too big to keep good balance when they are no longer on their feet. Like once they go down, they're too big for their own good.(Look at Taylor Wily). But I think if a Sumo wrestler cut down in weight, and worked on striking a little, just enough to get by, they can be pretty effective. And the ground game might come easier than you would think, just because their standing grappling seems to be VERY strategic. Shit, all fighting is ART.
One thing I liked about aikido was how we were taught to move towards your opponent, makes you less afraid of taking a hit
As a former practitioner of Aikido... Yes 100%, any MMA fighter would destroy an Aikido master. It's mostly spiritual and a form of thinking. It doesn't translate to reality very well at all

You're a practitioner not a master. Real martial artists don't fight in the ring. Martial arts is made for defense not offense. MMA has rules. In real life your eyes, gorin etc are not saved by the rulebook.

What a great video. Nice work. Respects.
I practiced Wing Chun for a few years, just before UFC became a thing. It was back when you could say "we don't need full contact sparring. Just remember these techniques and no one can hit you." :D
9:42 when being attacked with a combat knife, its a good idea to grab the blade with your hand. nothing bad can happen there.
As the wise Master Ken of Ameri-do-te (the only true martial art, and far too lethal for MMA) once said "if you grip it hard enough, it can't cut you".
While I would almost never recommend grabbing an opponent's blade if you know what you're doing you can hold an extremely sharp blade just fine. In HEMA half swording is a technique which involves holding a sharp blade. There are also grappling techniques that involve grabbing the blade of an opponent's sword/knife/dagger and while it is possible to mess up and cut your hand it's worthwhile if it allows you to win.
@@saudade7842 yea, in HEMA are they not in full plate armor? with leather gloves in plate armor as well?
@@saudade7842 there is a big difference between holding your own blade and holding a blade, whose handle is held by someone else... The proportion of the item itself handle vs blade allows use of leverages which will fk u up... Trying to grab the blade of the enemy is insane. Unless of course you are ready to sacrifice your arm and hope the blade will be stuck there giving you like 2 extra seconds to do something? But it really doesn't matter, if you are unlucky enough to face someone who is trained with knives, be prapaired to face around 12 stabs in a second (each stab is also a cut) It's difficult to catch the blade, if you can't even see it
@@zyfryth I know. I was just saying that I have read manuscripts that mention grabbing an opponent's blade during some grappling scenarios. It is highly situational and in most cases probably not worth the risk, especially if untrained.
Thanks for still being respectful. Some practitioners of these arts do it for the tradition and artistry. It's not always about fighting nowadays. Cheers!
Those are the same people saying "I'd just do A, B and C" always trying to make their martial art out to be a goddamn nuclear weapon they alone have to power to unleash.
Just gonna say, thank you dude. I appreciate that you didn't completely dismiss a lot of these Martial Arts, like Capoeira, Aikido, and Kung Fu/Chinsese Martial Arts in general. While they may not be effective in a ring fight, they are effective in certain situations, or for different purposes. Tai-Chi is great for your health, for breath control, and for meditation purposes. And aspects of it can be used in other martial arts as a supplement, however, anybody that thinks that they can expel Qi from their bodies is unfortunately delusional. Qi is breath...breath is life, and the only place you can expel Qi from, really, is the mouth and nose. Qi (or Chi) is a very old Chinese spiritual/philosophical concept, used notably in Taoist practice, through meditation and ritual. People twist a very old, and surprisingly grounded Spitual concept (in regards to how some spiritual ideas are) into something that would be better suited to Fantasy, or Sci-fi. Qi is not the Force, no matter how much you hope it is...unfortunate, because little kid me really super hoped it was. But, as an adult, I'm happy with knowing that what I practice, even if I am a novice, is something that can bring some inner peace to me. I hope I can get a proper trainer someday, but until then I'm happy reading and practicing on my own.
Make up your mind. Is chi just breath or is it a "spiritual concept"?
@@MrCmon113 Its both. Many different practices regard Breath as being a huge focal point for spiritual practices. In western occult, it maybe called Astral Light. In Hinduism and Buddhism, its sometimes called Prana. In all versions, breath is considered important as a vehicle for carrying that sacred energy. Again, if you'd actually read the original post thoroughly you'd probably understand that, but instead you're looking for something that's not there (I.E. the ability to inflict great harm through Qi, or looking for another way to discredit, simply due to a pre-conceived notion of falsehood.) You don't have to believe in it, if you don't want too, no one will ever force you. However, I have experienced its usefulness in my own life through meditation and cultivating practices, and under the different practices and names it goes by in other cultures and faiths. So I simply ask for respect to practice those beliefs, as I respect yours or another's lack of belief. Strength is found in both paths, I genuinely believe. It's only when we kill our open mindedness is when fail as humans.
So, Nappa shooting mouth beams is more accurate than Goku's kamehameha wave. I see.
Interesting video! Please compare those MA's with ones that work and explain reasons. I wonder if those MA's might be inefficient in MMA if they are used alone and not mixed with other MA's, as it should be in MMA.
Honorable mention to Joe Son Do - though in all fairness, repeated nut-punches are a good way to throw off any kind of martial artist
I'm not sure he doesn't belong on the opposite list 🤔
There is at least one *Joe Son Do* student who had made it into PRIDE & the UFC; the legendary Kimo Leopoldo. That's more than what even the greatest masters of Kyusho Jitsu can claim.
@@randallflagg3700 yeah he got there but couldnt use this style because u cant hit balls, so bet he used much different martial art in Cage.
Aikido is a great martial art when you are fighting for the last biscuit at the supper table Steven Seagal is a champion food snatchet
They used him in the thumbnail, but I thought jumping into the air in slow motion and throwing a sweaty spinning kick while making a weird face and weird noises with 80s music playing would be questionable in mma.
I trained jits with a guy who knew aikido and you did habe to watch him with wrist controls. He could tap folks with wrist locks
@Pietro Guimarães Videos of what? Guys getting flipped by masters with clearly fake throws? It all looks fake and if you disagree send me one of these videos.
Aikido is good at self defense but not effective in street fight
@@met3uz854 then how is it good for self defence?
I've read the "systema manual" and really feels more like a book on self improvement than anything else. It's not bad in that department though.
as i said it is more like system for military how to be chill in pressure and some shit is good ..same as krav maga which is just system how to be agressive..
If any martial art (or sports class in general) comes with self improvement/ mentality shit, run.
@@MrCmon113 every sport is about self improvment and mentality
Sumo wouldn't work in MMA, but if you get the chance to go to a Sumo tournament, definitely take it. It's truly awe inspiring seeing two mountains of humanity rush at each other full power. The volume of the slaps needs to be heard in person to be appreciated. Truly one of the most amazing sporting events that one can see.

About the Jeet Kune Do part, I remember Frank Shamrock cited Jeet Kune Do as one of the systems he practiced. Also Bruce Lee died when he was still experimenting with his training including the use of submission holds.
@@MKBoricua He didn't say he was invincible, just that Jeet kune Do is incomplete, because the guy died. Jesus man, chill out.
That's the beauty of Bruce Lee, he was always learning and adding to Jeet Kune Do. The style alone might not be the best for MMA, but many UFC fighters believe that Bruce Lee himself would exhale in the sport. Like if I learned Jeet Kune Do and trying MMA I would very likely get killed, where Lee, a master and creator of the art would succussed.
As a former highschool wrestler there are defenses to a double leg take down I presenting: the sprawl. Although it is true sprawling could potentially hurt you if you get tricked into it in MMA but also if have quick knees that is another option
As a high school wrestler when he said “limmted defense against double leg take down” I immediately screamed in my mind sprawl
wow, so professional! thank you!

You already said it at the beginning of the JKD section. It's not a martial arts system, just a philosophy of not being constrained by martial arts systems. That is a common approach to modern MMA combat.
3:40 Jeet Kune Do is basically mma itself. Striking, grappling, innovation and cross training is essentially the whole sport now.
Agreed
Most fitting thumbnail ever
Yeah I never like Steven Seagal and dont really rate his movies but Anderson Silva worked with him, so maybe he isnt 100 BS.
@@EatMyShortsAU he didnt teach him fuck all and it was all for publicity
@@bradleydolphin1049 I think he helped him with that face kick he landed on Vitor. Having said that I am pretty sure 99% of Anderson Silva's skills didnt come from Seagal.
@@EatMyShortsAU I think Silva said that Seagal taught him how to throw it more effectively after he saw Silva do it against Vitor
@@Jazj97 Fair enough, I don't know all the details except that Segal was helping him with that kick. It was featured in a Doco I saw.

Sak Attack boys look like we got one here.
Great video! I appreciate that you were respectful of the legitimate arts that you covered despite their lack of modernity and usefulness in mma competition.
That icy Mike shout-out when saying side kicks don't work was spectacular
I feel like Jeet Kune Do shouldn't be on this list because the philosophy had certain concepts that would later be adopted by mma, like the oblique kick. And also the philopshy seems to have influenced mma go an extent with it's focus of being well rounded rather than just keeping yourself to a single style
For me Jeet Kun Do is more of a system of martial philosophy than a system of martial art, and it should be treated and practised as such. The problem is, people, even its own disciples, aren't applying the thinking of Bruce Lee, which is to learn any technique from any style that suit you. Instead they're a bunch of Bruce Lee copycats, using the same techniques and approaches of Lee, even if those are selected techniques that Bruce Lee assembled for him and him only. The beauty of Jeet Kun Do was lost right after the moment Bruce Lee died
@@shazamsakazaki look up a guy called tommy caruthers,very good practitioner still to this day. Lightning fast
The Oblique kick sees origin in Savate (French martial arts) not Jeet Kune Do, though it adopted the practice as well.
Yeah, pretty much Bruce Lee was taking things from other martial arts that he thought were useful. So, if he were around today, he probably would've loved MMA. I've made some videos about martial arts on my channel. Please check it out and let me know what you think 🙏🏾
I suppose Eddie Hall should get credit whenever someone drinks, because he tells people to stay hydrated... What's actually practiced in Jeet Kune Do doesn't work. And for all we know the founder wasn't even a skilled fighter.
"Side kicks don't always inflict alot of damage..." Also MMA: "Should kicks to the knee be banned?"
Side kicks - Stephen Thompson. " i guess i dont exist"
@@ruger51995 Right lol. I'm pretty sure I've seen John Jones launch himself in the air and and try to viciously side kick someone's knee like a total sadist but maybe I'm dreamin
maybe its my context being wrong, but i believed that side kicks were ones which are launched with my back being perpendicular to the opponent´s torso (or superhero helpers)
UFC is like " yeah but can you do a 360 before you connect with it tho?"
Oblique kicks are frontal kicks to the knee. Your body is not turned sideways when you do it. Oblique kicks are seriously dangerous, sidekicks are meme territory.
It's helpful for people to understand context and where (and why) some of these things developed in. While traveling around China, a historian gave us some explanation for 'gong fu' and it really makes very good sense when you see where they lived, how they lived at these times. He explained how this community, like many back then, they have what is a kind of 'island' or if you want, see it as land with a moat around it, often rice paddies. Okay, now the entrances are raised 'sidewalks' and some are narrow, just enough for a single person. Okay now you can envision that. In the famous case, it was said to be a village where their army, their military, their fighters were either fighting elsewhere or maybe were wiped out so you have nobody there but the wives, old men, the regular folks who certainly didn't train for warfare. Okay. It's said that a 'warrior monk' was left behind in most villages. In one account, this monk realizes the village is going to be utterly overtaken by an enemy military then surrounding the place. the monk realizes there are only average civilians, they don't have weapons etc. He's not going to do some VIP 1-on-1 training of each and every person so instead he stands on the walkway, the narrow bridges or simulates it. Over and over in his mind, he visualizes the weapons of the enemy, how they would have to attack. They'd have to walk one at a time, one behind the other. He visualizes their standard weapons. He visualizes how they'd have to climb over these stone blocks they put up on the narrow pathways. He goes over and over in his mind until he figures out a kind of 'Probability' formula. When they attack they will almost always have to hold with one hand, stab with this 3ft sword etc. He finds every able-bodied adult in the village and they are lined up for a massive class. They don't need to talk fighting, know fighting, they are to simply and only do these moves. Here comes the soldier, stand like this, got it? When you go backwards like THIS, over over and over again. Everyone sweep your arms like this. Every time you see the sword it will come this way and make this sweeping motion. The monk had a kind of flawless choreograph of moves and the villagers didn't need to know a thing but this carefully timed series, move move, sweep sweep, push down, bend, back, up, push left, push right, repeat, repeat. They did it day and night. Over and over until it was like automatic in their brains. Invasion day came. The monk had 100 of these trained villagers at each of the entrances. Sure enough, the enemy soldiers run 1 at a time down the narrow path, drop ladders or steps at the blocks, climb up and exactly as the monk saw, they would balance themselves with one hand, lean forward and slash downward where, to their astonishment... ..the old farmer standing there, in perfect distance, in perfect timing simple swept the sword blow away, move back, and up where upon almost all attacking soldiers would naturally try to stab forward - only to be amazed how the villager would perfect sidestep and grasp their arm and exactly as they were unbalanced, the villager would twist and down - splash, easily pulling the attacker off the stone and into the muddy mucky rice paddy. The monk had trained them so perfectly that after the first villager did his moves, no matter what, they'd move to the back and the next fresh villager would move up, again, in perfect timing, distance and moves. It was said even little old ladies would flawlessly move as if they could predict every swing of the sword and using balance, perfectly pull another soldier off the bridge into the water. You can still see class moves where they will lean forward and it really does look like you'd lunge a spear forward and down even if they aren't holding a spear or stick. This is where the monk, realizing he wasn't going to turn villagers into savage warriors had trained villagers a single repeatable move as soldier fell into the water and desperately attempt to drag themselves through the muck to the land - the villagers armed with poles (brooms in the story) would automatically follow the beat and trained move over and over perfectly made to keep balance, bend, launch a blow, quickly pull back and up, repeat, repeat. In the story, the attacking soldiers don't need to be killed. What happens is they wreck themselves falling into the muddy rice paddy where they are repeatedly shoved back and back over and over until they collapse from utter exhaustion, a mess of heavy weapons and armor as they battle to move while being constantly shoved back and back by brooms, each with perfect order, speed and timing tailor made for the exact scenario and moves. The next time you see the old Chinese folks in the park try and keep this in mind. That's a sweeping away of a sword. That's how you'd balance on a 2ft wide paddy bridge, that is how you'd knock a bogged down soldier stuck in the mud if you were on shore with a broomstick, etc etc. This was not made for 'ring fighting'. It was not made for hand-to-hand combat. It wasn't even made as an 'offensive attack'. It wasn't made for a wide open battlefield. This was made for a very specific real life scenario and by all accounts it worked perfectly and the villagers were saved. *a similar story has a walled city and the attackers climb a wall ala siege movies but you get the idea*. Cool story bro, enjoy!
imagin someone counters your leg kick with a spirit bomb
I need confirmation that Krav Maga practicioners are called KravMagicians.
Confirmed.
Dude... I feel like a whole new world is available to me after your comment 👍🏻😂🤣
This is funny, one of the biggest channels in italy about boxing created the term "Krav Mages" to idnicate all the people that practice those fake martial arts (you know, the scammy ones where you see people beting tens of opponent by weaving their hands)
@Sak Attack if you actually think that wrestling is better then krav maga then ma dude you don't even know what you're talking about . Krav maga is not about defending yourself it's about how fast you can kill someone and moove to the other .
@Sak Attack again it shows how ignorant you are no insult intended. Do your research on something before insulting it who knows you might wanna try it ( and btw krav maga is used by the mosad israelian special forces and other countries military including spetsnaz and the us military and navy)
*Fun fact about capoeira* : It involves a lot of wreslting, when you throw those kicks and return to your stance you're in position to shoot for a take down.
A lot of martial arts are like that. Tai Chi is essentially clinch fighting, and when done properly, it looks like a mixture of Shuaijiao (Chinese wrestling) and Muay Thai clinch fighting...The problem is that most people don't know what it's actually for, just like how most people don't know how grappling oriented Capiora is.
Very well done, I'm glad I watched
Awesome video brother!
Between the presentation, editing and information this is one of the best list videos I've seen on this channel, and they normally make fantastic content.
The clip of that dude laying out that little lady on the beach will never not be absolutely hilarious
There's an interesting video by Ramsey Dewey (MMA coach) about how some kicks in Capoeira put you in a position for a takedown, like an ankle pick, so maybe the people using Capoeira are just misapplying it, and if some wrestlers learned it, we'd see it being more effective.

This is a special video. It's the only one I've seen where each aspect is treated with respect. Thank you for clarifying so well why even arts that aren't that great in context still add something to the context.
That clip with the "chi master" plowing through his "student" is my favorite clip of all time 🤣
I had an uncle that tried to fight like Seagall. He was trying to shake their hands and waited for the other guys to fall, but they never did.

Sumo wrestlers could translate to a offensive tackle. Hand punch and keeping a low center of gravity is some of the qualities needed to be such.
Great video. Do these "too deadly for the sport" martial arts have any use legitimately can you defend yourself against an attacker with them?
When they were created: yes Now a days: not really, everything on this list has been watered down and commercialised to look good and be able to compete safely. Taekwondo and most styles of karate have almost reached the status of those on this list. I know so many joint locks and throws that you would never see in comp. Not because they are all ‘deadly’ or too damaging but because they are war techniques, designed for the fight to be done in seconds rather than waste energy fighting 1 guy for 10 mins because back when they were created there was a whole army behind that guy. In a sport you want people to watch you need something that lasts a bit longer and puts on a better show
That Dragon Ball reference had me in tears. I have always waited for one of those 'chi masters' to shout KA-ME-HA-ME-HAA!!
We always did that during sparring as a kid. The odd thing is it never worked.
You're the best narrator beside Tommy Toe Hold. Good video mate!
Excellent video
This was a really balanced look at this, as it could have very well been "Kungfu s#!t, aikido s#!t, etc. Why? Just because!" You guys always do good stuff. It is interestng that most of these fall into the category of either combatives/self-defence system (krav, wing chun, JKD), sport with a drastically different skill set (Kung-fu, Sumo), or pure trash (kyusho, Chi, Steven Seagull's particular brand of Aikido). It helps people look more broadly when choosing styles to train in if they're interested in training MMA.
I've been practicing Aikido for 24 years (and teaching for 13) and I have to say this video is spot on. In reality a lot of the techniques won't work the way they are taught or practiced in most dojos. Anybody that is decent at striking or ground work will make short work of someone relying on just Aikido. It's just not what we've been trained to deal with. Training to fight in a ring is completely different from training to defend yourself from the average idiot in the street. There's also a mentality to fighting that many people (not just in aikido) just don't have.
But it looks fancy. But like in Jeet Kune Do, forget the useless things and keep the useful things. That is why Jeet Kune Do is the best of all. It is not a specific style. It is your own style once you practiced many arts.
@@bigtareec "be water "
Guess it goes without saying but all weapon based martial arts are essentially useless in MMA (fencing, kendo , wushu). Maaaaybe some footwork but that's about it.
Jup, footwork, hand trapping and wrestling are essential parts of most weapon based martial arts, but it makes more sense to just learn wrestling 😂
The thing about Judo and perhaps other systems is that there are so many sparring sessions that one reacts as one trained! It is helpful.

When I was a kid from time I was 10 - 13 I took wing chung kung fu. I never enjoyed it or took it seriously but it did give me a great respect for martial arts and how much work it takes to excel at it. After MMA became popular I had always wish I had learned Judo or Jiu Jitsu. I am a tiny guy and had to deal with bullies alot in my younger years, and I think Judo or Jiu Jitsu would have gave me a better chance against guys that were always bigger then me. Ground fighting is such a huge advantage to someone that does not know how to fight that way.
