in my adult life i have never had to throw a punch to end an altercation, most have been settled after i head and arm throw somebody.
@GingerSnaps ok well I don't think any martial arts will get you that but you sound like you are a good frame to start training
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I never had to fight anyone before either
Adults just take verbal jabs at you
@°°° if given only to pick one, which is the best one to learn
and shit test you
if you're living near the inner city, probably a good idea to know some shit or at least have some weapon on you
just in case
@Reaper i'm doing weight training for my arms and i have yet to start a squat routine for my legs and butt but i'll get there. Also want to start incorporating push ups and planks into my routine again. that's a good all around exercise.
and Lifting alone and looking big makes you a harder target too
@Unknowncrash grappling
@°°° like martial arts, which type I mean
Yeah I agree on grappling
If you're 6ft tall and you lift, not many people are gonna fuck with you
@GingerSnaps yea you can't go wrong with push ups, chin up are good for your whole upper body too
and if you want to learn fighting, all the better
You'd ruin people
@Unknowncrash greco roman wrestling or jiujitsu
Both really
@°°° @Unknowncrash yeah i can see that. A good throw will knock the wind out of your opponent and that gives you all the time you need to scramble out of there. @Reaper yeah that will be my next exercise equipment purchase a mountable lift bar for my door way to do pull ups and shit.
Thanks
do one for a bit, then learn submissions
I know a few guys who did both wrestling and BJJ
they compliment each other well
@GingerSnaps @Unknowncrash you can watch countless "streetfighting" videos on youtube, after one person fails to knockout the other, they always end up in a sloppy tie up, that's where grappling prevails:

@GingerSnaps there is a pretty cheap set of push up bars you can buy called perfect push ups, they are super useful too
@Reaper i've heard that. My one buddy has them.
Don't most people who run into trouble on the streets have to deal with at least 2-3 people at the same time?
Good stuff
or more
that rarely happens
and if it does, generally you see it coming, just leave
@GingerSnaps I like them cause you can simulate twisting your wrist like you would with a punch as you lift yourself
i've seen them in action before. My biggest problem right now is motivation. I have almost no motivation for anything. I just sit on youtube and either soak up red pill stuff or auto mechanic stuff.
@GingerSnaps I'd say find some gym and go no matter how much you have to force yourself
that's what i need to do
and I love working out
But getting to the gym can be hard to do for me
@Sigma that's probably a good idea. Usually when i have to pay for something i'm motivated to get my money's worth.
