Haven't been in a fight since I was 14 or so.
Should probably join a dojo or something so I don't get bodied next time of asking.
hit the gym
Cardio, cardio, cardio then do more cardio before a dojo.
And TKD is bullshit.
Just start beating up random people
Start with scrawny people and work your way up
Good talk. All valid suggestions.
even better if you stumble upon some dweeby tranny or something
Might buy some weights for home use due to my preference for working alone.
And find my old jump rope...
thats how i roll
Seriously though - TKD isn't that bad at a very high level. It just is impracticable AF until then in my experience.
you could also try learning jiu jitsu
it's fun ;3
@sampletext Indeed.
Also advisable: find a Judo school that splits throws/ground at 50% each.
But BJJ > Judo
Just my opinion though.
Right. Martial arts about grappling and ground fights. Very pragmatic.
Unlike TKD as @MRB mentions.
Eventually you'll increase your power level by running into one who knows krav maga
Speaking of which, just take some krav maga classes to hold your own
Knives > bjj
BJJ is overrated.
Progress from children > teens (girls) > disabled > scrawny adults and gays > Jews > normal people > then @Death Strike's Bat
See UFC bans shit that really works like upkicks
And gouges.
Yeah maarat at the top
To get out of on the ground.
And knee strikes.
Once you can beat maarat you're good
If you want to see what would happen if they allowed knee strikes, look at full contact shotokan karate kumites from the 70s.
That shit would dominate bjj
20 second ligament snaps
Outflank, short Street fighter kick to the knee. Game over.
Try to grab that leg? Hahahhaha you will get stomped on.
MMA makes people think MMA works in the real world when what often works is Varg Vikernes or Ken in SF2 grab their shirt and punch them in the face until you break their nose or knock them out.
BJJ is really good for awareness on and escaping on the ground at a minimum. I advise that bc most BJJ places have no gi grappling too, which is really what's needed to cover that base.
You google "full contact karate kumite" and the Google-sponsored first result is a match from 2007 between an Austrian and a Lithuanian.
Read knife fighting techniques from fulsom prison which is the knife fighting result.
