100 metre sprint does me
This is correct answer
@@BigALBoomer il out run any man with a knife. Nothing to prove and 3 kids to raise.
for sure, as long as you can
Intelligent people know that no one wins a fight. One person goes to the hospital and the other to jail
Might need to run a little farther than that if life or death
As a former wrestler of 8 years I agree with this. One overlooked advantage of wrestling however is not taking people down, but not easily being taken down. A good wrestler is hard to takedown so we can fight until there's an opportunity for escspe. So a decent wrestler with basic punch knowledge has a good chance.
I absolutely agree with you with this one bro 💯
100% I COMPLETELY agree with you. I believe Bruce Lee himself said this is best fighting style. Or at least someone with this fighting ability is the most dangerous. But I think a lot of professional fighters in UFC would agree with maybe BJJ in it aswell
So Judo X Muay Thai
@@Izr6ael_there’s always that one judo guy who thinks he has any chance taking down a high level wrestler. Jon jones, DC, Henry cejudo, Kamaru Usman. All those guys are LAUGHING at the guy who mentions judo
@@RJ-gk4rt Wellll that eliminates THAT!!! Thank you for the Intel brother!!! 👊🏽🙏🏽💪🏽‼️
"Run away" That isn't always an option.
Fr, you can only run so far.
Even if it is an option sometimes it's the wrong option. What if the person trying to hurt you is faster or has more endurance. Then you are for sure dead.
It's often the worst option. Turning your back on a faster attacker who can tackle you to the ground is very dangerous.
Thank you bro I see so many comments of just walk away lmao. I’m a boxer just started bjj and I use to be that guy that says avoid street fights. And I still am but my mind changed December last year I went to the bar with my friends to enjoy drinks my friend offered me a shot I didn’t want it so offered some guy next to me if he wanted it his drunk A*s thought I said some else he became aggressive I tried to de escalate the situation but he was being aggressive and he started following me to my group and throwing his hands up so we went out side and my boxing did me works. But I realized I need ground game I’m on my second week of Bjj and to y’all who gonna say yea right this didn’t happen i don’t really care to prove yall anything. But just saying guys running away isn’t always the option learn how to defend yourself the right way.
Fr. I ain't running if I'm with my gf
If you can’t grapple you can’t fight.
In my opinion, don’t limit yourself to just one style. Adaptability is a very powerful ally, especially if your opponent is not your average person and has experience fighting or is trained in a style as well. Don’t just learn a striking style, learn some grappling and submission techniques as well. Being able to pull something out of thin air for every situation is very useful.
All that is all in mma
Time is the main problem here though. Your average person will do well to consistently make 2 sessions a week. 3-4 a week would probably be just about doable for most people if they really love it. Although the one positive to this is that you have your whole life to learn this. Maybe start young with the standup grappling so judo or wrestling with a bit of bjj. Then as you get older ditch the wrestling or judo for some boxing or Muay Thai.
Exactly I personally recommend jiu jitsu, kickboxing, and wrestling so you are prepared to fight standing or on the ground but really as long as you cover standing and ground you’re prepared.
"Intensity defeats extensity every time."
i carry a dull butter knife. You'd be surprised how aggresive people start thinking when you pull out a dull butter knife. Has worked three times for me already. I live in skid row and people will try to rob you and they have real knifes.
Rip in advance bro
Stop doing that bro. Someone could shoot you dead or pull out a real blade
@@josuerodriguez12b ok soo. I dont walk around pulling it out on random people. I've only pulled it out on people who pull something out on me. LOL. But I understand. If someone pulls a weapon on me, it's better to pray or spend five minutes calling the cops, telling them my name, my age, my ethnicity, where I'm located, what the other person looks like, what they are carrying, if they are being aggresive, and then hold tight while they radio an officer who isnt busy and is in the area. I've only had to pull it out three times, once when some honduran pulled a snub nose on me and twice when black guys pulled out a karambit on me. And out of those three times I only had to stab one guy in between his clavical and shoulder.
@@darkartsgaming1664 idk what kind of life you’re living bro but don’t do that anymore. Get away from those areas man.
@@josuerodriguez12b I appreciate it man, but I cant afford a good neighborhood. Have some things keeping me from working good paying jobs, but I only go out when I absolutely have to and I'm studying computer cding (C++) and graphic design so that I can create and sell digigtal goods. But, you do what you can with what you have and down here the cops wait for the issue to be over then they come and take reports.

50m sprinting, 100m sprinting and 200m sprinting are my top 3 favorite
Boxing is good but hard when you want to get to the next level and grow.
Wing chun stand up, bjj ground. First rule is cardio, can't fight if you outrun them
Muay Thai and mma
Thank you
Judo is great because it is the master of the clinch and has a focus on staying stood up or at least on top, while hitting your opponent with the planet.
couldnt say better..even if clinch is also very important in muay thai
boxing + judo is good
For one on one that's maybe fine but the topic is about multiple persons who you are confronted with... So how does that put judo in the realities of this topic???
The "Elemental Fist" is more effective for any in-depth combat situation of where there is more than three or more as the opposition...So I don't know where any kind of grappling fighting systems can be effective in combat where you have Multiple persons ATTACKING... My best student took on in the realities of a real fight more than 9 individuals and I just watched him opperating with perfection... So if you are not experienced in the realities of Combat, then I would suggest you start to be involved in the realities of fighting system that works against oppositions in the gym before you go out thinking what you have learned is going to be effective in combat where you have multiple persons ATTACKING...
@@orlandogivens4779 unless you can preemptively knock several people out then it only takes one to want to clinch for the clinch to happen.
I boxed as an amatuer for years, boxing just like all mentioned in the video is a sport, on the street there are no rules, no bell and no referee, sport although helping build fitness and discipline aswell as teaching essential skills will not help you in any way shape or form if your surrounded for example by multiple people with weapons, from my experience traditional martial arts is best suited for self defense in such a situation, that being said running is always the best option (live to fight another day)
lethwei🔥
Judo, Okinawan Karate, Sambo, MMA, Boxing
Judo and combat sambo also really good to know if you do grappling I recommend doing atlest a little bit of strikeing
MMA isn't a martial art, it's multiple, but it is very effective
JUDO, .BOXING AND A 9MILLI ASK JOHN WICK
According to me you should start with very easy martial arts like Taekwondo and then move to tough one
Chinese Kara Ho Kempo - Professor Chow's system. You're welcome. 🙏😂
Best martial art is a martial art that spars a lot.
TRUTH
Muay thai, elbows and knees make fights a breeze
And the throws😂 never once in my life seen someone throw a knee except on the ground
@@noland5345 then they are missing easy knock downs
@@noland5345Knees can be deadly when timed correctly
Mine is Okinawan karate but for the streets I would use boxing judo and Krav Maga And yes karate has throws and knees
Except till they get suplexed and brain fluid comes out their ears.
I like boxing mixed with judo i think that be more than enough to be honest
Here’s mine. Muay Thai, jiu jit su, wrestling, mma and boxing
I learn shoot no jutsu 😂
How can you include MMA when it is all of them combined?
A combination of Muay Thai & BJJ/Wrestling.
Boxing, Muay Thai, jujitsu.
Scratch boxing, and add wrestling and i agree, muy thai does not go well with born as the have vere distinct stances, on your feet you use muy thai, then if you get the clinch you wrestle them to the floor, and choke them out with juijitsu.
i think replace jujitsu with Brazilian ju jitsu or wrestling
Boxing ,Muay thai and judo would be way more better for street
Wrestling is better than jujitsu in a street fight. Never ever want to be on your back and ok with it
@@noland5345 I say judo slams wrestling
Boxing mixed with wrestling are my favorites. If it's a one on one I'm going with mma wrestling. If there are multiple attackers I'm going with boxing with maybe a front kick sprinkled in.
%100 agree. Only complaint is wrestling doesn’t really teach submissions but ground and pound is way more safe😂 much harder to get stabbed in full mount
@@noland5345not when you’re on the ground?! So much shit can happen when you’re rolling on the ground especially if bruh bite your ear off..I bet u don’t wanna wrestle him after that
@@Figgs101True but shit happens much faster while standing because people can use their legs to move quickly
I think the most important thing is to be familiar with combat. I think anyone who has wrestled, boxed, done a martial art, mma, or any of the disciplines mentioned knows the feeling of getting hit, getting grabbed, getting slammed, getting kicked---(I know these things happen to varying degrees in the various disciplines) are going to do better than someone who has not done any type of combat.
Sanda is also good.
I've been saying this exact list for years brother. We are in total agreement.
Agreed. I could very well be biased as I stated with kickboxing and now still train muay thai. However, they've served me well in real world scenarios.
100%. I started with kickboxing as well, but ended up loving Muay Thai. Training both now.
Grappling is not always on the ground. And boxing is a martial art.
kali sambo judo and krav maga
Combat Sambo, Combat Hopak, HEMA, FMA
Boxing, Muay Thai, Sambo. Khabib was so dominant because of his wrestling/ sambo.
Mma? The hell is he trying to say?
JUDO x Boxing/Kick Boxing ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I do Karate and I think karate is also hepful becoas you lern how to protect yourself
My favorite martial arts for self-defense is krav maga and judo and kenpo karate.
Dutch Muay Thai😊
Muay Thai
Boxing and running before anything else.
Why not teach yourself multiple martial arts like brucee lee?
I think the most deadliest martial arts is Brazilian jit jutsu
The best defense is to run away and avoid fights.
I've got tiny legs, so I train grappling and try to avoid dangerous scenarios.
You Can't always run away sometimes you will need to stand your Ground
@@bossmanfcktheworld-6632 Good point
Scenarios: There's a girl that you like but some guy who also likes her tries to bully threaten you because you appear physically weaker(than him). Your sister's boyfriend or partner has physically beat or slapped her. Do you run away in this situations?
@@bossmanfcktheworld-6632If it's a war, yes, you should stand your ground. If it's something like road rage, robbery attempt, or a fight caused by the silliest possible reason, avoiding a fight is still much better.
I think the advantage of BJJ is that fights frequently do end up on the ground, especially when you’re dealing with untrained people. Knowing what to do once you’re there is extremely useful. BJJ should be a tool in your toolbox but not your entire kit.
The problem is that if you wanna learn boxing only then you need to habe fought before in the ring as a boxer, because if you only train it 2-3 sessions with sparring then you are MABEY never really ready to actual fight and the same goes for kickboxing and (muay thai mabey) but for wrestling you could actually never have competed before but still pull out a move to dumb your opponent out and run away
Facts
Girl or small guy for someone that’s not a good athlete’s can change quickly
Balls breaking martial arts
What you said comes under combat sports
If you’re tall then boxing for sure
Combat Sambo. No question
“You don’t want to go to the floor but don’t train in the absolute best martial art to keep you from ending up on the floor (wrestling) nor the best martial art in the worst case scenario that you do end up on the floor”. You’re contradicting yourself. Wrestling, boxing, BJJ are essential. Of those three, I’d say get better at wrestling. Sprinkle in some Muay Thai clinch work and you’ll be very well rounded for most self defense situations.
The asian arts Work best for me . Its basically umbrella fighting and arnis but using anything you can use and it comes naturally.
As a 30 year old weak physically and mentally what should I pick and where I go
Boxing is a martial art.
Muay Thai has to be number 1
The best one is called "run, Forest, run"
Aikido
Bar Fight?!
My combo is kung fu boxing judo and muay thai
kick boxing MMA boxing Muay thai for screenshot kids
MMA is best because it covers everything Striking, grappling, groundwork etc
Boxing, muay thai,wing chan >>
Krav maga
Bro How you prefer kickboxing over muay thai
I learned Tae Kwon Do when I was younger. For anyone who doesn't know, it's a Korean Martial Art that focuses on self defense. I ended up getting my black belt before stopping. It's really helpful, as it focuses on blocking, dodging, and falling safely with a quick recovery if you were to get knocked to the floor. Additionally the different blocks are commonly positioned such that you can follow up with a swift punch or kick.
Taekwondo definitely gives an edge if one gets into Muay Thai or kickboxing
Most martial arts, and martial artists: never practice real world confrontations. So: your MT/KB what ever: might help you nothing at all. To be able to defend your self, as in: "reliably defend your self" and not only "by accident", because "you just had luck". You have to practice self defense situations. What martial art you are using, in the end does not matter at all. You spilled a drink in a bar, by accident ... walk away. The guy is grabbing your shoulder while you walk, turns you around and you have a fist in the face? Or a bottle? Your mistake was: you did not realize what is going on. Does not mater if he hold the drink intentionally in your way, if you did it by accident etc. What matters is: you did not see it coming. Do dedicated self defense training, no matter what martial art you are doing. Learn to apply your art ... in self defense: everything is the same anyway
Kickboxing & MMA?! Bro, kickboxing is part of MMA!!!
Knees, elbows and lower kicks from Muay Thai would be great.
Boxing is no.1 period.
Ready bout to start a war Karate is a pretty good self defense art
CQC,Systema, Kudo, Hapkido, Taekwondo ITF, Judo, Karate, Krav maga : 🙂
Muay Thai and either jiu jitsu or wrestling. People argue that “oh you shouldn’t bring a fight to the ground,” and yes that’s true but most people will try to tackle your wrestle you anyways and if you don’t have any type of take down defense or ground game, it won’t matter how good your striking is, any wrestler or judo practitioner can slam you on your head and you’re done. So for striking muay thai, elbows knees and kicks are lethal, and you must know some type of grappling or wrestling or else you won’t be a well rounded.
i created my own martial arts
Boxing IS a martial art 🥊 MMA is also a martial art because technically there are many “traditional” martial arts that borrow the same moves in variations such as punches, blocks, kicks, and takedown techniques. MMA is literally copy / paste of mostly muay thai and jiu jitsu. Still, it’s another style.
Judo i will guess the best for self defense. It teaches , balance, mobility, Explosiveness, and techniques. Judo stands is great to mix it with boxing or mauy thai. Judo throws are great for thowing a person and reminding standing. Getting hit on concrete in any judo throw is game endner. Also leg sweeps are great to sweep some 1 and runway while they are on the ground. U can also pin and submit a person after a throw. Bjj is also great but the ground is extremely dangerous on the streets. Wrestling is awsome for self defense.
THANK YOU FOR BEING REALISTIC,these bjj people really think street fights are 1on1 fair fights on a mat with rules. YOU CANNOT GRAPPLE WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE.
boxing and wrestling
A yeah boxing learn how to quickly KO your opponent in 6 to 12 rounds of raw frequently interrupted action, where almost nothing goes. Works in 66% of the time every time. Note: Most KOs are actually just TKOs, never fight people outside your wieght class, always carry your gloves with you, run when your opponent opens his fist
Muay Thai - Kickbox/Boxing - Wrestling/BJJ" Other Than That Is Less Effective
Boxing or muy Thai, and wrestling Combo. Striking for stand up. Wrestling so you can defend against people trying to take you down, and or learn how to scramble and get up if someone tries to take you down. If worse comes to worse you can use wrestling aswell to throw people , and control them on the ground and use ground and pound .
Judo and boxing
People brain washed by combat sports. Three important points: 1. 90% of self defense is not getting into dangerous situations or making yourself vulnerable in the first place. It isn't physical. 2. In many confrontations, releasing a grip or moving out the way can deesculate whereas a strike leads to escalation every damm time. 3. Most common attack on woman is a rear choke (assault/rape) by single man. Most common attack on man is a multiple attack, front on. Wrestling and ability to do some strikes is probably most useful in such cases (along with skills to defuse an assault).
Thanks for this short video. It’s something that I have always wanted to know. Of course, opinions will differ.
A combination of BJJ, in particular Gracie BJJ and Muay Thai. That is unless you can actually find somewhere that teaches real Lethwei instead of Muay Thai, if so then Lethwei.
How about Krav Maga?
As a kick-boxer I agree that kickboxing is one of the best ways to defend yourself
I think karate 🥋 is the best for self defense
Run
JKD!
how i fight: run
Boxing is a martial art.. so is archery...
