If you could only teach your daughter one martial art for self-defence, what would it be?
Honestly just teach her to go for the balls and to bite his jugular out or gouge his eyes in. Fighting by the rules is for men.

what martial art should i do after taekwondo? i'm currently abt to be a black belt in ITF taekwondo and i noticed that it kinda sucks due to the lack of handwork.ive been thinking of exploring either judo (since im pretty big) or eskrima (for grappling techniques and knifeplay). in general im looking for a style that is more hands-focused to go with the footwork of taekwondo
boxing or any grappling martial art. boxing because taekwondo, no matter the type, has shitty punching technique and defense (check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn98RdwPw48 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nz-kU1X0Q2I, which are boxers beating taekwondoins from the ITF). grappling martial arts because you only know striking and MAYBE some takedowns (if your school actually teached you them), since you said you're big then any will do, though judo would be my main recommendation
Why not just boxing? TKD strikes suck, you want something hands focused..
>>247891My taekwondo instructor bundled it with judo while teaching combatives during the Korean War. Stateside, all of his taekwondo students were made to learn some judo and all his judo students learned some taekwondo. They seemed to go well together. I would prioritize judo over eskrima but do at least dabble in eskrima if you can because considerations change in an environment where weapons are a possibility and not every judo school is going to spend time on that.
I actually rate taekwondo if you enjoy it just carry on >>247908This Obviously if you want to be well rounded do boxing or a grappling style . More urgently a grappling style
>>247891I went to Muay Thai and Judo after TKD, but I was doing ITF Competition and Hapkido on world level. If you are WTF you need learn real footwork and urgency.
Does bjj teach you anything useful?
>>220100it teaches me everynight that i am a worthless piece of shit with no ability to learn any grappling whatsoever

>>234577>how to safely and aggressively get off your backthat's more of a judo thing, BJJ guys train to stay on their back and drag and submit people down from there, often much slower and more methodically.
>>264098nta and i don't believe it to be bad or useless.the problem is that so much of the training time in bjj is spent in guard it doesn't just take away from learning more practical skills but even creates bad habits for its practiticioners.>How to do takedowns>How to defend against takedowns>How to stay on your feet and not trip>How to quickly recover from the ground to step up againbjj "teaches" this but unless they cross train 90%+ of bjj guys are very poor at it. to quote Danaher you can be a bjj world champion without knowing a single takedown, as the sport currently stands.
I just want the assurance that I can defend myself should it come to that INB4 get a gun, I live in Canada so I can't. I'm thinking about joining an MMA gym to do all of it but I don't think I would be able to put in the requisite time for both grappling and striking training while still lifting and doing cardio. If it is possible please tell me because I plan on going to the fighting classes 3-4 times a week, also please give me info on how much to spar including hard sparring, I want to get decent as fast as possible

>>264617Broooo is he still out there doing his thing? I was actually subscribed to his yt for a time until it slowly dawned on me that he is unhinged.
>>259979Good post.I might qualify "kickboxing" with "preferably muay thai".And if you've got some more time, I'd recommend a _little_ bit of wrestling, enough to cover the fundamentals even if you won't become good enough to match an actual/practicing wrestler.A real wrestler is exceedingly unlikely to be attacking anyone without good reason. No need to devote time for that possibility.But if you're on the ground with a wrong 'un, you'll be a whole lot better off if you have some muscle memory in grappling.
>>251752Learn to manage your temper and ego, deescalation and situational awareness. Be large, physically fit and intimidating to the common thug. Be able and willing to run away the moment the situation presents itself.Get a pepper spray, maglite, collapsible baton(don't fucking blindly baseball swing it, wrist flick the tip at their hands and face like you're throwing a jab from a distance), then do some stand-up grappling and striking if you still have the juice.
>>263967turtle is the easiest ground position to stand up from, bottom guard is the hardest one. this is ten times true if striking is involved. your argument is invalid.
What are the primary differences between Japanese and Okinawan karate?
>>251050Kendo has more in common with Judo. Though you do make some interesting points. Really J-Karate long-range was a result of a J-Karate master being influenced by French military advisors doing Savate, a type of foot-fencing martial art with an emphasis on kicks.O-Karate is mainly a mix of different Chinese Fujian kungfu styles mainly Incense Shop boxing and White Crane style.>>265572J-Karate being adopted as a university club, meant that katas and exercises had to make sense in a large group setting.O-Karate dojos were smaller and had more 1-on-1 training.See: Jesse Enkamp's extensive research and videos on this
>>248343Okinawan karate is a stand up grappling style with strikes at mid and close range.The stances are tall like in muay thai and 90% of the moves in kata are grappling techniques.Japanese karate has become a sport prioritizing long range strikes.Gichin funakoshi brought shotokan to mainland japan and he modified Okinawan karate to be simpler in order to be able to teach it to a large number of people at once.Then his 3rd son studied in tokyo university where he come in contact with kendo, inspired by it he made karate competition and adopted the long range approach of kendo making the stances longer and deeper to be able to strike from long range.On one hand this made karate fighters become amazing at long range, counter punching and become fast as fuck but on the other it recontextualized karate into becoming exclusively long range strikes when it originally was meant to be in your face style and have grappling.This completely ruined kata as no move in kata makes any sense as a long range strike because they were short range grappling techniques.Then there's full contact karate which funny enough did inherit the tall stance of original karate and has the mythical toughness of all karate masters.
>>266089Yeah this is true, okinawan karate originally had no kicks above the belt but the Japanese influenced it and most traditional masters teach high kick techniques even though they aren't technically how you're supposed to do them in katas.If you watch enkamps isshinryu video with uechi. Master uechi is my senseis sensei.>>266223I would say this is mostly true but if you look at original katas it's more like 50% grappling and the rest are close range strikes. Southern king fu comes from denser regions and is where karate cane from hence the close range
>>265657You DO NOT touch the boats.
>>251636Or you roundhouse kick their knee or calf and drop them in one shot.
How would you create a martial art that had as it's main purpose to be most effective against UNTRAINED people? Are there any techniques that are useless in a trained context but disproportionally effective when used against untrained people?Kind of like how in chess there are openings that are principally not sound and easily rebuked by people who know how to play chess, but allow you to easily checkmate a complete beginner (like the scholar's mate).
>>268431Oh, so you're a troll who's never been in a self-defense situation. My bad for taking you seriously; you got me good. 10/10
>>251402>Something that relies on reflexTony Blauer is that you?
>>268467Ive never been attacked because people can sense my world class half guard play from aura alone
>>268505Of course, your aura has been tempered by not showering. No one will approach you.
>>251389It's called army combatives and it's been a thing for over a century all across the world.
I'm a lightweight, (1.78m, 60kg), i've been going to judo for some months now, I'm liking it a lot, but, is it comparable/better to wrestling? Especially for a guy my size, I always thought wrestling would be useless as from what I know, it uses a lot of raw strength, while judo (though it still uses strength) is better suited for taking down heavier/stronger people. Is this right? Should I try doing some wrestling? I find judo very good but also sometimes limited by the sport
>>242810You strip down to your underwear in a real fight? >>242810Hips back and sprawling negates lot of wrestling at an intermediate level.>>242810Not that long lmao, it's just harder to do against a resisting opponent that is also training the same martial art. BJJ people get btfo'd by yellow belts in standup.
>>243798You do know where bjj gets most of it's techniques from you 0 iq. Most places do newaza aka ground game probably 20% of the class. Lots of competitive Judo people crosstrain just to get better at it with bjj. A judo black belt is equivalent to a blue belt and can't compete with bjj white belts.
>>241734I'm not good at judo by any means, training 2 years, and I can pretty convincingly ragdoll more athletic white belts. I admit part of it is they are scared, I might get smashed by someone who has 50 lbs on me and is going apeshit

I think the most legendary ones were Tyson (he would need to get out of prison) and Karelin but it's rather obvious that Tyson would lose due to lack of grappling skills. Karelin would be more serious threat to the Gracies because he would toss them around easily but Idk if he would be able to actually end the fight.
i think you have to give it to the boxers.while grappling is awesome in its own right because it worksand as a fight science its awesome to level the playing fieldlike that. its really funny. to nullify someone like that.but if the boxers hit you its overif they couldand if youre knocked out youre deadits like the rock shrimp. a tiny sucker but i do thinkthat velocity and precision outmatch physicality in the senseof brute strength because we all have a tiny compiler segmentsitting about on our shoulders and knocking it around sendsan overload of signals causing the brain to shut down to justprobably sort things out as an extreme precaution.its the best buts nothing is perfect, if they missed or didnt getthe hit in then they could be grappled and torqued.Comment too long.

>>268850Clueless
Was ground and pound allowed? If so, Karelin, would just throw people on their stomach, sit on them, and punch head. Though I suspect Karelin's success is mostly due to nobody giving a crap about greco, and russians pumping him full of steroids when everyone else in his weight class was just a fatass.
>>268868im not talking about sustained competitiononly a gauntlet with people picked out of timefor one tournament
>>268979Karelin couldn't even do 1 real MMA fight it had to be a staged fight He's a wrestler, 1 leg kick and he's limping and crying

>>254801what anime?
>>266059maybe if she dosnt want to be treated that way, she shouldnt be acting like a man getting into physical altercations in the first place? Dumbass.

If punches below the belt, more specifically punches to the thigh, knee and calf were allowed in Boxing, would they affect the meta at all?Some stances are so wide and heavy that I think a good hook to the side of the knee could fuck someone up. Punching the thigh would only work if done repeatedly, I think. Now calf punches sound absurd lol, but I think in some fights were guys have wildly different frames I think it could be used.
>>266599Filipino martial arts has this really obstinate insistence that all knife and stick MUST transfer to empty hands. To be fair, a lot of it does! Like more than people think. This is just a case where they're just wrong and stubborn about it.
