Which are you familiar with? Martial arts of any kind or are you armed to the fucking teeth and ready for action?
any fellow martial artists out there? Which styles do you prefer?
-
Bjj and a 9mm works pretty well
-
in most cases yes...but lets say your disarmed, then what?
-
Or maybe your gun jams. What is your back up plan? Gotta know something these days.
-
I did MMA/muay thai for a few years in my youth. Comes in handy now and then
-
I do Krav Maga.
it can be done of people at almost any fitness level. Is great for beginners. And teaches you to fuck people up in the shortest amount of time possible (including group fights, fighting armed people etc)
I highly recommend Krav Maga to anyone looking at getting into martial arts for self defense
Mossad can't be wrong!

Bjj Is short for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu If you didn't know. It's a ground fighting martial art, more so defensive.

A Tazer... no but seriously Krav Magaa is amazingly practical and effective

Awesome, I have heard good things about Krav Maga and Brazilian jiu jitsu. I practice old school karate from Okinawa. Unfortunately most karate has become watered down these days, mostly because of sport karate. Ill have my blackbelt by the end of the summer cant wait! Oh ya and muy thai is pretty awesome too. I think the best way to defend yourself in any situation is to know about all the pressure points, its the only way to take down someone thats a lot bigger than you. Anybody here ever heard of Choki Motubu? Wikipedia him if you havent, fucking badass.

Akido for defense, weapons for offense.

Warm smile and clever wit...
aka helpless.. and proud.

Aikido works only in movies. It was a martial art created for the time of war when in a battlefield people would rush at you. Nobody (a minimal good) will rush at you in that way in a street.

If you can get them not to rush you then you have succeeded.
Seriously, a guy tried to stab me once and he was on the ground pinned in a second flat. It is a good thing to know.

I usually carry a nuclear warhead in my pocket
-
Jiu jitsu/MMA for a few months... stay in shape and sharp. No sidearms most of the time. Don't like the heavy charges they bring when in possession. Road has eliminated the need for carrying. ;)
-
I did the typical kickboxing and freestyle wrestling
-
Spoon mastery.

A boxer, kickboxer or MMA will not rush at you. It is not the usual drunk guy in a bar that really poses a problem, it is a person that has some kind of training in real dangerous methods.
Anyway the better style is no style (in Bruce Lee's docet). If for example you learn boxing for arms/stance, karate/TKD for legs and JJ (or similar) for groundwork you become much better than whatever style you can practice by itself.

blend some chinese drunken boxing with some capoiera and you will be untouchable. I also always wanted to know combat ready tai chi. I'm just a nerdy enthusiast not a practiciner. bakki the grappler was the shit. that one dude in the final tournament could take the opponents energy and turn it around on them no matter what. if you could do that , your invincible.

lmao there are ways to combat both of those actually. kung fu and capoiera (sp?) have plenty of vulnerabilities. You sound like you believe in chi, Im fascinated by the concept and have heard various theories on it. Some believe it is just the bio electrical energy we have running through us. Not a science guy though so I dont know for sure. I tend to believe its all about the points, pressure points that is. That I found through some training and research is really how the old masters used to make people look plain silly. Knowing which points to strike, how to strike, which are kills and which are stuns, all good stuff to know.
