what should i pick?why?





this is strictly for real life situations and fights at school, what would be the best martial art to defend myself?





no stupid answers like running please lol

Martial Art for the Streets?
I would pick Krav Maga, because it is a modern MA and it is trained for street situations. In Krav Maga, you are trained to do anything that is necessary for your survival, including the use of surrounding objects, so you are allowed to fight dirty, in the streets, who cares about fighting dirty as long as you survive? One more thing, Jeet Kune Do is not a martial art, it is a philosophy from Bruce Lee about martial arts.
Reply:9 milli style lol





nah i would say mma jus ground and pound the mofo and if theres more than one guy....jus whoop some *** till u can get away
Reply:Krav maga looked real bad *** on Human weapon. But of all the styles shown on human weapon. I would say the Marine Corp Martial Arts was the baddest and best for street fighting. This coming from some one who has never fought before. Also to learn it you have to be a Marine and that is an honor. Don't fight in school then you'll get booted out and never become a Marine. Don't be stupid!!!
Reply:If you just want to defend yourself. I simply recommend you doing some weights. Fights at school is simply trading punches. As if they all know martial arts. Fights at schools could be most dependent on the basics of martial arts, that is reflex, practice on your reflex by doing more sports, etc.





Learning some dirty fighting would be good too. Any of the martial arts you chose is pretty much the same, either one could beat each other. Its just different people, maybe you should consult a martial arts teacher for this question. Maybe they could have a test for what martial arts is best for you?
Reply:pick three skills for deffence only
Reply:Jeet Kune Do. Karate and Kung Fu are too hit-and-miss as far as school quality goes (some are great and some not so much), and Krav is too damaging for a simple school yard fight.
Reply:jujitsu wouuld be the best type of martial arts for this situation. because the best way to win is to try and avoid the fight so no one gets hurt. but jujitsu is strictly salf defense and take downs. and all that good stuff
Reply:First, running away isn't a stupid answer. I'm not saying cower every time someone looks at you, but if you go around with an aggressive mindset escalating any possible situation into a fight, you won't last long. If I start talkin some trash in jest, but you take it seriously and attack me, I just might stab you. Or call in my buddy to hit you in the back of the head with whatever blunt object is nearest to him. You may wake up some time later, you may never wake up again.


Anyway, almost any martial art is good if you learn it well, and sometimes with supplementation (as in an art which does not take weapons into account). Although you make want to take into account your body type or natural affinity for things (like proficiency with Tae Kwon Do requires a lot of footspeed, Muay Thai requires the body of a Muay Thai fighter, grapplers need a really good sense of balance).
Reply:ed paker kenpo karate was made for street fighting and it relly works
Reply:kickboxing, muay thai, and weight training
Reply:If 'running' is a stupid answer, then maybe your intent is in question. You want to hurt someone who insults you?


Martial arts as originally... you know 1000 years ago was DESIGNED FOR THE "street". Everyone seems to forget that the monks walked around with a long stick or a 'monk spade'. There were bandits murderers around almost every bend and it was life or death on both sides. At the time getting into a temple was life or death for kids. I digress. FInd a True teacher.... simple question... What is a martial Artist.... not a Karate master or a kung Fu master?


If the answer involves 4 aspects of the martial artist then you may have found a teacher...
