They don't teach you how to beat someone in the ring

It's a hand to hand combat technique. semantics at this stage

or an 'unarmed combat.. something'

there's a very British word that I'm forgetting

but it would fit perfectly

It literaly means "touch fight". Though a better translation would probably be just "hand to hand combat"

but then martial arts are failed oldschool combat styles

Which is another reason I don't really see it as a martial art

if it is evolving and not a martial art

'failed'? most of them are effective unless the-

wait what

anyway

there's only so many ways you can teach a punch

One of those Sikhs was telling me today that a large portion of southerners are racist, and are now moreso because of Trump, whats a good counterargument

since most martial arts these days in the west are more for show

than practical use

They didn't fail. I'd bet a Jujitsu fighter would bit a "Krav Maga expert" in a staged fight

That's what they are about more or less

most you see in the media is fancy dancing anyway

again, boils down to semantics. BJJ is still derived off of Jiu Jitsu which is derived off of Judo and so on

Some of them just tend to focus on more specific areas than others

And even then, there are styles within styles

Trump = Fascist

Shotokan is (relatively) nothing like Kyokushin is nothing like Goju Kai

But they all fall under the umbrella of 'karate'

And then half the people watching it fucking go 'is that Taekwondo?' anyway

I know most people don't do it to troll practicioners

but it is funny

Well always remember...

I know you have a lot of Krav Maga for self defence guys in the US. But I don't really think that's what it's about

It's not

And like American dad said, for self defence a gun is better. If this is what you're actually worried about

There was a documentary series going about 10 years ago
