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.
Just start fighting random Jews
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.
Yeah that shit is lame.
As they basically banned all the good shit.
And instead of 2 dudes who look like Ryu from sf2 jacked it's skinny mofos hopping around.
Like fencing.
lol
@Death Strike's Bat You just had me envision savate fights lol
If you ever watch the interview with Bob Anderson former fencer who did the fights for Adventures of Robin Hood, Star Wars og trilogy, and Lord of the rings he basically says yeah if you lunge like that, you will lose your arm at minimum if your opponent has a real sword.
More likely he will just sidestep you as lunging is slow and cut you in half.
Or run you through with it.
Also fencing prioritizes first strike now and it didn't in the 30s. Electronic fencing ruined it.
"Karate Kumite sparring 1970s" in this video the guys are going at it more. One is a grey old geezer too.
Electronic fencing?
