Best Martial Art For The Streets is still Boxing...

[mikinoki]

First of all, I'm a state wrestling champ in high school. so i have that foundation. I've been boxing for about 5 years now.



My work pays for the gym membership and i've always written off the boxing training. i wanted to do something different these days after watching some anderson silva and buakaw fights.

I go with my buddy who wouldn't stop ringing my ears about Muaythai. Cool cool.


I go and after some heavy conditioning drills. i stayed for the advanced class with some light sparring.


Note, I'm not trying to win a fight. when I spar i think of a street scenerio. So I'm not trying to rack up points to impress no judges like a maricon floozy. this ain't no dancing with the stars.

Anyway, i have pretty much no experience with leg kicks and body kicks. Okay we start.... Muaythai stance is squared up. and i'm in my side profile.... i just start teeing off on these guys. Then they started kicking my legs.. i timed them to the point where every time they kicked i grabbed the leg and took them down. Not to mention, them being squared up opened them up to all kinds of counters as they kicked.

I'm just picturing in my head how the hell is this going to work in the streets? as soon as i take them down, the fight is over. it's hammerfists and field goals. They have no guard games.


The head kick is the only valuable tool in street fighting, but you can only throw 1 before the distance is closed and people start grabbing shirts and unloading at point blank. So if you don't KO someone on entry with the headkick, muaythai is pretty much useless imo

cool story bro....

Once saw a idiot talk smack and hit a guys girl to get him to fight him. The boyfriend went for the takedown and busted his knee in attempt. The idiot started punching the back of his head and then jumped on his back and got him in a rear naked choke ..

well that girls older brother was there .he went to his car and got a bottle of lighter fluid and his old fashioned lighter...came back and started squirting the the idiot while he was doing the rear naked choke .everyone started pulling the idiot off and his friends were all screaming out relax relax while this dude waved his old fashioned lighter lit.. dude tossed it at the guy and the idiot busted out in flames...

a security guard saved this guys life 15 seconds later. But he was burnt to shhhht.. some people fight. Some people dont play and go for the kill.he said just a few words. Dont hit girls and dont fc kk with my family

They arrested the brother..they idiots life is forever changed

All happened outside an outdoor club in los angeles...

Most crazy mo fos would have shot that idiot

Whats crazy is the boyfriends homies didnt even back him up.had the girls brother not been there chillin,boyfriend was gonna get knocked out and likely get brain damage or get killed himself.everyone just watched like a tv show..

The best martial art for self defense is Aikido, followed by Judo and Jiu Jitsu. Any style that includes grappling and joint locks is superior to strike centric arts when it comes to the street. Anyone who tries a kick above the waist in a street fight is an idiot and will likely end up on his ass or worse. Kicks should be kept low, knee level or lower. The only time to kick an opponent in the face is when he is already on the ground to make sure he won't get back up.

Absolutely not. Kicks allow you to keep out of danger and finish your guy real fast. Or, if you prefer, a sprinter's skills do come in handy! After all, the key is to stay alive!

90% of fights end up on the ground. Boxing/Fighting is only the 1st part of a mix-up. After that, many different types of other fighting styles come into play.
Personally, a mix of boxing/Wing Chun/Wrestling has worked for me

not true if you have some TDD training.

most people aren't D1 level wrestlers.
