Insecure 5'9" dude here. If you could only pick one martial art as a manlet for self-defense on da streetz (like a rando walks up and wants to beat the shit out of you) what would it be? The only gym near me offers either Muay Thai or BJJ

It's not even a question. Muay Thai all the way.
BJJ is a complementary martial art that might or might not be useful one day but in reality I've never used it. Streetfighting, self defence or whatever you want to call it is mostly punches. Hell I haven't even used much kicks.

As someone who studied Wing Chun (with plenty of pressure testing) for some time, for me it looks like somone with deep understanding of biomechanics woke up one day and decided to invent a martial art with some very specific self-imposed constraints and then did it, the absolute mad lad.

Is doing nature-based extreme sports with "inappropriate" weather conditions a true extreme sport? Is it considered by some as legit, a fringe illegal sport, or just plain suicidal?
white water rafting at a rainy night, climbing mountains in winter when it's raining ,free solo when it's windy or rainy or moon-less night, even urban exploring with 0 previous research \tech\ emergency calls or beepers on you, etc
Is this just suicidal? if it IS: why don't the (we know there's many) suicidal extreme-sporters do this more often?

so long as you dont disturb the airflow through them too much
what I mean by that is, if the vents on the top and bottom are mostly kept uncovered by say a helmet or beanie, it takes some serious effort to get them to fog

Is it possible to be strong enough to squeeze and submit someone on the ground the same way a constrictor snake can kill its prey?
>>
Well you have to understand how constrictor snakes do it. They aren't just crushing things to death like the movies would have you believe. What they do is every time their victim exhales they squeeze a little tighter preventing them from inhaling again. Eventually they just can't get enough air in with each breath and pass out
It doesn't take much pressure at all to do that
>>
Man is weak, that's why we have technique in the first place. If you get a wrist lock, the person you're putting on the ground wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Realistically, a blood choke is the closest you'll get though. Bear hugs are for holding people unless you're a bodybuilder, but even then, you aren't hurting anyone w/ one, just being stuffy.

Yes. Any decent wrestler or judoka can do this against a normal person who doesn't train. I've had good results with a headlock pin/kesa-gatame (tightening with each exhale like a python), so I'd imagine that an exceptionally strong person could do the same versus a weaker person with training. Wrestlers typically spend more time training for tighter pins because the ruleset requires it; if constrictor-like submissions are your primary goal, wrestling is probably your sport.

You can do the same thing with leg scissors but often those are more about threatening broken ribs than they are about preventing your opponent from drawing breath, so be mindful of the risk and be considerate of how you're using which variant and if it's allowed in the ruleset you're grappling under.

THEN why are bets allowed on this fight?

How can a fight be notoriously fixed with money matters behind? It's would be illegal, they would get sued.

Boxing promoters have gotten away with it for the last 200 years so I don't know why they would stop now especially in an era where no-one gives a fuck whether shit is real or not.

That said I don't think this particular fight is fixed so much as its a foregone conclusion that they don't even need to fix.

The difference between footy and grappling would be the importance of what happens after the takedown.
In footy, you only want the opposition player to be pinned to the ground, preferably with ball in hand. In grappling you want them pinned too but also unable to counter-attack you - that's not really a threat or issue in footy.

neck bridges are very safe if you aren't retarded or fat which probably isn't you, nonetheless almost all high schools will drill neck bridges, or at my school neck circles for wrestling. and if high schools are allowed to drill it without issue it should fit right into your routine just fine without injury, great way to build your neck

After you can hold a regular neck bridge for about 90 seconds move on to pressing a barbell from that position. I think the most I did that way was about 120 lbs for sets of 5, but I only trained them for like 3 months.

This is harder than I thought and I get easily knocked out. When I got punched more than once at the same time I start disorienting and I immediately lose. Any tips?
2 replies omitted. Click here to view.

Do you roll punches? That's not step 1, but it's pretty important. Know how to take a punch. When it comes down to it, plenty of physical endurance comes down to technique. That's why even very defensive and sturdy fighters can lose to one good punch (Sean strickland vs. Alex peiera)

I was at a bar and some dude out of nowere headbutted a friend of mine. I stepped in to sepparate them and got shoved by the guy who headbutted him. After getting shoved I froze, I couldnt move, i was afraid and couldnt react.
Up until now i thought i could avoid getting in fights by just being chill. I never thought someone would attack unprovoked.
This made me seriously consider going to a boxing gym. Would this make me not freeze in situations like this? Is boxing a good combat sport to learn to defend yourself? Any anons have had a similar reaction get fixed by training?

I suggest judo over wrestling as a lifetime discipline because wrestling requires a higher level of athleticism to perform at baseline competency while judo can be more reasonably trained by an old man. The heavy focus on falling properly is also a major benefit of judo since most people are more likely to be at danger from falling than from getting into fights. If you have access to a good wrestling program (e.g., you're in the American school system) it's definitely worth checking out as it's a fun sport that helps build a lot of mental toughness, but if you're looking for something to keep after for the rest of your life judo is a better option.

Getting in martial arts is a good step, but I think the best you can do is mentally train. You freeze because you're stuck thinking. Train yourself to understand when to let loose. Martial arts is a good way, it will teach you to not fear getting hit, and realize that punching back is better for you, as well as turning that mentality into instinct.
>>
>>201171
Retard that you are, you don’t realize the best way to train mentally is through active combative training. Newbies get an andrenaline dump when they start training. Competition is an even bigger adrenaline dump. A street fight is an even bigger dump than that. You need to acclimate yourself to that adrenaline dump to maintain a proper headspace in a fight. Despite the popular phrase, the adrenaline response is not fight or flight, it’s fight, flight, fawn, or freeze. People without experience with violence are far more likely to freeze than anyone else.
>>
>>201174
This is true, there was a time when I was going to BJJ class 5 days a week for about 3 years, because I was a former fatty and was obsessed with weight loss.

After awhile you get into a weird "zone" where it doesn't matter if your sparring at 50% or 100% intensity, you kind of mentally zone out and just let your body do the grappling.

Afterwards you may be breathing heavily but mentally your relaxed, just waiting for the 90 second next sparring partner change to start.

Same thing happened when I trained judo, at first I hated being thrown and was a terrible partner, because I was constantly stiffening up.

After a while you just become like jelly and being thrown is no different than stretching.
>>
>>201174
This guy knows what's up. Most people freeze first, some stay in that stage until the situation is over while others will move on to fight/flight/subservient. You can even observe this reaction in animals.

To the op, get in to any sport/martial art that has an element of someone physically trying to dominate you. Most people freeze because outside of fighting as a kid they never really have experienced another grown human getting physically hostile with them.
