I'm all for that

guys just go shaolin monk then you will be 2 monks in 1 inc mgtow one xD

do as much damage as possible in the most aggressive way

then get the fuck out of there

Tbh, a fight happens so fast that you might not even have time to react to it

Just sayin

@Unknowncrash that's where training comes in

yea, they do have ways to read people and be able to prepare, but even then you can easily get cracked witha cheap shot

Even the best get caught off guard

yup

then bring in weapons, you could be fucked

The more you train the more you will be able to control your adrenaline when the fight starts and it litterally will feel like time slows down

But yes you can always be caught off guard

But reading isn't always accurate

You might be distracted 0er se

Or emotionally off guard

In the martial arts schools for self defense, they should do way more sparring and fighting. Also intense sparring like 2v1 and group sparring to get the most adrenaline

Or that person is the last person you expect

Have an MMA based gym, but for self defense

not competitive fighting

I'm not sure about the west but in Asia the martial arts are bullshit

All the gay poses

minimal rules anything goes within reason and with some level of safety involved

It's too safe for martial arts in Asia

Forms are cool, i enjoyed them. Those don't teach you how to fight

Unfortunately

You don't learn how to punch properly by doing some dance fighting shit

or poses

@Sigma yes boxing is the best for fundamentals

the blocking system doesn't work, and those 500 techniques you need to learn aren't gonna work if you try it in a real scenero

@Sigma I have had friends who I showed nothing more than how to incorporate their hips and throw their weight behind punches and they became much better street fighters for it

not to mention, it can take about 2-3 years for a black belt...that's too short and they focus too heavily on forms, and shit

not enough sparring

I believe it

Footwork, head movement, slipping parrying

hip rotation, pivot the foot

Footwork especially

It can determine so much

yea dude, you gotta fuckin move when fighting

Hell, they don't even focus on your stamina

MY footwork sucks tbh
