It's that there are styles that are way less effective in actual combat than others. Take aikido for example. Against other aikido practitioners and people that don't train anything at all you'll have very limited success. Meanwhile the same person could train in an effective martial art and have great success instead like muay thai or bjj in the same situation.

I’ve trained for over 30 years, studying boxing, kickboxing,traditional Karate, Akido and systema. What I’ve learnt; the effectiveness is based on the circumstances and the physical environment you are in. In the Dojo/gym you will usually have mats and be practicing with people of a similar skill set. On the street, in a crowd, you are up against the unknown. You may not be wearing suitable clothing or footwear, and you may have multiple unknown attackers. On the street my skills/knowledge has taught me to be aware and to have confidence. Fear is your friend if you control it as it keeps you alert. Once in my early twenties, l was leaving a school gym late at night where I had been teaching kickboxing. Two very large lads were obviously going to mug me in the narrow dimly lit alley way. I sensed it, as they rushed towards me I threw my bag for the guy in front to catch. He caught it with both hands, I instinctively punched him in the chin. He fell to the floor unconscious. I picked up my bag, while the other chap tended to his friend. No one taught me that move, but my body/mind automatically figured out the best solution to live! Stay fit, alert and safe.

I am a 4th degree black belt in American Kenpo Karate and I agree with much of what you have to say. I also trained in Taekwondo, Tang Soo Do, Shotokan Karate, Ninpo, Aikido and Freestyle Wrestling. Yes, it ultimately does come to the three styles you state. Learning that is what the various styles do. In Kenpo we put them into long and short forms. That is just to learn, in a fight we all utilize what we need and when we need it. The firms just aid in training. American Kenpo was quite effective in its time because it blended several styles. Ed Parker our founding father so to say had a black belt in judo and was a golden gloves boxer. He studied karate in Japan and then sort of blended the best frim those styles. He taught us to get uo close and personal with our strikes which is more like boxing/kickboxing. Ge incorporated joint locks and throws from Judo. Its weakness is on the ground and where wrestling and Jujitsu come in. Id always wanted to learn BJJ, but no schools were around. In my childhood and teens I bounced from style to style as my parents moved, but in late teens and adulthood i focused on American Kenpo Karate and a touch of Hawaiian Kempo as to get good at one. I taught Kenpo Karate for years FOR FREE to kids at the church as to keep martial arts alive. This area had a lot of poverty and many kids would not have ever had the chance to learn. Unfortunately covid sgut down the program and i ended up getting covid and ruining my lungs. I'm looking into opening up the karate school again, bit letting my oldest son be lead teacher. He and i joined a BJJ gym. I am slowly learning with limits as ove got bad lungs, 5 herniated discs and arthritis from breaking my back. Im only learning BJJ as it was a lifetime desire ever since seeing the rise of the Gracie brothers in the 80s and 90s. I don't expect to ever be goid at it, but will learn what i can. My eldest on the other hand is picking it up incredibly fast and is wanting to move on to MMA. Am i upset? Absolute not!!!! He doesn't want to destroy my Kenpo Karate, no.....instrad he wants to being BJJ and MMA into my studio. He plans to teach traditional (gi) some nights and no-gi modern other nights. A true martial artist doesn't resist improvement, but embraces utilizing what works.

I learned silat from a dear family friend who was in the Indonesian army. He was the most brutal teacher I've ever had, but his most valuable lesson was "a fight you avoid is a fight you already won". He prepared me for the worst by never holding back when sparring. Lots of bruises, cuts, bleeding and tears, but it was all worth it. Doesn't matter what you practice, but make sure it is geared towards real, actual fighting, and not just going through the motions to get the next level.

The best forms of silat are supposed to be really good at dealing with knife attacks. I understand where this guy is coming from regarding training for sport fighting can eventually help with a real street self defense situation also. If you train to move in a crisp quick and powerful way punching ,elbows etc.its going to benefit you in a real fight. Their are so many aspects to fighting economy of motion,energy awareness,rhythm of movement. Their are to many to name,but a person who is fit and has actual punching power and has worked with focus mitts and different boxing equipment and has strong fighting spirit should care well against an attacker who isn't trained and is less fit.

But it sure as hell did work. No one wanted to bully me after i laid some kid down on the floor. If you know what I mean.

You absolutely need to train in any / every martial art that you can, you take what works for YOU, and discard the rest.

It was very technical. Few years later, someone put me in a rear naked choke and I ended up not doing each step I was taught. I took concepts from about 5 other techniques and defended myself.

When i was young it gave me insane take down defence and mobility, my boxing was defence heavy and gymnastics made my clinch very effective, I could move out of the way of any strike, I could block most punches and if we clinched my balance and dynamic strength would be a complete surprise, it is an unstoppable combo i think that I stumbled into by just by accident having trained all three at the same time. I believe GSP speaks very highly of gymnastics and how it improved his clinch and defence.

I've been in hundreds if not thousands of fights in sparing and tournament and every single one of them has been a version of kickboxing. Much of our system is kickboxing with some grappling. The most successful member of our system had 47 wins and in 1 loss and was a 19 title champion Paul Vizzio in kickboxing. I've watched dozen of Kung Fu tournaments with styles ranging from Wing Chun to Choy Le Fut to Eagle Claw to Hung Ga and the fights are all versions of kickboxing. Do some of our style specific techniques come into play? Yes, sometimes but it's all kickboxing/grappling in the end. Even our 86 year old Grandmaster says all styles are basically the same, the difference is you. You make the system great, the system will not make you great.

One thing I noticed while jumping between martial arts is that what you're saying about the the 3 style is true, the biggest difference between them all comes down to how they execute these movements which ultimately affects how they look. Boxing for example, uses hip rotation, core strength, upperbody and footwork to generate their punching power, which is why they have the most number of non-linear punches compared to other martial arts. Wing Chun uses spinal structure, core, some hip rotation and elbow(punching from the elbow) to generate their short range power but not long range, so their punch is very linear. Bajiquan tries to generate maximize their power using multiple body movement at the same time, so the same punch and elbow can look completely different depending on which movement you use and omit to generate power.

That is a fair analysis. People always try to compare, to be honest, every style (form) has their pros and cons. Just the way it is. So the best is learn them all and apply according to the situation and opponent. People who are genuinely good will always respect the others - only the junior people cannot understand the code of honour. The better they are, the more likely they refuse to fight with no respect.

I won golden gloves joined Hapkido because I did not want to continue knocking people out. I found the martial artist lacked footwork so I could easily knock them out when I wanted. It was hard to train when there was an obvious lack in a basic skill. But I played along although my partners knew I had a major advantage. They thought I was just really good when it was just a skill that could be learned just was not being trained there. I think it is a good idea to learn basic skills then bounce around to learn street skills that actually work in the street.

'Martial Artists' are so cute when they attempt to apply dojo or MMA sparring to real combat. Wonderful 'knife/gun defence techniques' are the most adorable. Many people have made a lot of money building false confidence in students over the years. The true fact is, no experienced knife fighter presents his weapon in the pretend way students are shown in dojos. By the time you see the knife, you have already been cut. The only MA I have ever seen that fully grasps this reality is the trinity of the FMA. Believe me, in actual fighting for your life combat, 4 inches of steel (and ability to use it) is worth more than a 4th Dan in any style. I have been a martial artist for many decades, having earned a few black belts along the way. However, I have learned not to confuse that training with actual combat ability or survivability. Anytime I forget, my scars remind me. Stay Aware - Stay Alive.

I think all styles of martial arts can be beneficial in a fight, but it also is very situational. A "MMA fight" with rules, safety equipment, in a neutral space where both fighters are aware of the fight and said rules, is very different than actually "getting into a fight." I think knowing a martial art will always be better than NOT knowing one, whichever one it is you train.

The 2nd fight I was much more precise with my kicks and punches and knocked him out right bf the cops got there. Grappling and wrestling are essential along with strikes bc if you don't settle it fast ending up on the ground is inevitable.

Luckily I was able to use the pavement as my brace and kick the daylights out of the balls of the guy who just punched me and when he crouched his head down in pain I let his chin have some of that too. He was out that fight and it saved me having those distancing kicks after I got up, but I was totally out of ideas on the floor. An my punches were just wild teenage hooks lol. A couple years later I buried myself into an MMA concept school, before that was a popular term. TKD helped me with balance, judging distance and moving in and out fast but my hands were really lacking in my young days because of that style.

Kickboxing, wrestling and grapling are the main points of unarmed combat. This reminds me of what my Sifu once told me "There are no styles that are superior, only those who practice them. Kung Fu, Muai Tai, Tai Kwan Do, Karate. They are all valid. It is only when one uses their brain and their environment that a student becomes truly good." That said, I do have to say, do not underestimate Tai Chi, the way it is taught and trained may be slow and stretching, but I've seen practitioners who have sped the movements up to combat speed, and they are devastating.

I've been saying something similar for almost 30 years. Martial Arts training IS NOT combat training. A martial art is almost NEVER a complete combat skill set. What a martial art's value actually is comes from the techniques, the tools it can give you the training helps condition your body and develop individual techniques/tools to apply to combat. Nobody in the history of street fighting has ever squared off against each other in a specific stance then waited for someone to tell them its time to go. Those things are solely done to accommodate technique training, not to simulate combat. Aikido is full of small joint manipulation and force redirection. If that's the only skill set you've got you will not be successful in combat. However, taking those skills and techniques and integrating them into a more complete study of combat techniques, strategies, and environmental awareness can absolutely be a profitable investment that can give you the edge you need to achieve success over an opponent or adversarial situation. Martial Arts like Karate, Aikido, Kenpo, Tae-kwon-do, and on and on should never be seen as or taught as complete combat arts but as building blocks to finding YOUR combat art. Everyone must develop their own style that works for them and everything from wrestling and boxing to traditional martial arts are the pieces you can use to build your personal art or style. Not everyone is the same build, height, weight, level of flexibility, and so on. You train to create the best YOU possible. There are general techniques and concepts that everyone should be exposed to and learn to understand not only for your own application but to understand potential adversaries. Just because a technique doesn't work for you doesn't mean someone else couldn't figure out how to make it work for them. Bruce Lee famously said to be like water, to adapt to the shape of any situation. People too often let ego lead them to say and do stupid things. Traditional martial arts have value. They're just not a complete combat system. Same with boxing. Boxing training is extraordinary. It teaches how to strike, move shift weight, slip, duck, and so on in addition to be exceptional conditioning. That said, it ignores using legs, grappling/wrestling, striking with things other than a fist, and so on. If someone trained in boxing only their whole life, chances are they'd be a great striker but would become utterly helpless on the ground. So boxing is obviously NOT a complete set of combat skills. Rather than get ones panties in a bunch, claiming this art is better than that, people should study both and understand which parts give them an effective combat skill and which do not.

I started my martial arts with Taekwondo in elementary and practiced that for 3 years but was really concerned about the, in my opinion, over-emphasis on flashy kicks. I got into a scuffle with a friend's older brother, nothing serious, and he floored my the moment I lifted my foot off the ground. That was a hell of a shock for me. Moved to another state in middle school and started again at a Goju-Ryu karate dojo. This place was cool because it didn't just teach you the traditional karate stuff but also went into jiu-jitsu and judo and occasionally brought in some wrestlers who vigorously taught me how to sprawl, double-leg take-down, and control my center of gravity. By high school I started mixing in some boxing with my stand-up karate strikes and felt pretty comfortable with how I could handle situations. I only got into 2 serious fights in school and both were won thanks to getting out of a football tackle and following through my punches (each only took 2 punches). I'm not the strongest or best and wasn't at all at my dojo, but just knowing those things really saved my ass from being humiliated. I still liked Taekwondo as it did help me with flexibility and performance once I started weightlifting; it just never ended up helpful in fighting.

So my sensei used to give me a real hard time in training. We went out to a few bars one night when a group of very drunk guys decided to make offensive comments to my girlfriend. She is gorgeous by the way and she will take down any guy no matter how big he was. They surrounded us and all I can say it was over in less then five minutes.

Jishukan is the pre 1865 Japanese martial arts. It was pure self defence. I added kick boxing to my Jishukan so then I added an offensive element to my self defence training. And the video is right about the pre 1865 Japanese fighting style. It’s very effective, very efficient in getting your attacker to the ground as fast as possible to either have them submit, or to break an arm, leg or wrist to take your attacker out of action completely. Or if you’re in a life death situation, you can then apply a blow to the head, neck and completely incapacitate your attacker. The kick boxing routine really adds to it when you want to go on the offensive. It really worked well for us way back then and has pulled me out of a few real dicey situations since then.

During training he had broken fingers and ribs, but the important thing was they practiced to kill at full speed and did not pull punches. When he entered martial arts tournaments here he destroyed just about everybody because they simply weren't used to getting hit for real.

That's an extremely significant point that you made. Tai Chi Chuan teaches that sparring actually teaches you non-self defense. There is a different energy phenomenon that takes place when you strike someone with the intent of doing real damage in a real fight.

Martial art is essentially for winning fights and staying alive. One may have his unique base style due to different localities. In addition to that, he has to research other styles, get from them a functional technique, practice it, modify it, and incorporate it to his own system. This is basically the idea of bruce lee. Learn your own,study others,discard whats useless, adapt and modify what is usefull. Practice repeatedly.

For most of us, our brain is gonna earn us more money than fighting. Probably like 99% of us. Or more. BJJ and Judo are better bets. You gotta be young to wrestle. Instead of martial arts, get yourself a mountain bike, meet some people and have the time of your life. Or even go hiking. Wanna protect yourself? Learn to talk, Judo for the mouth. Further? Go armed. Best advice for concealed carry? Never, ever, ever, pull that gun. You will go to jail.

Nice video! I myself have a Kyokushin brown belt, and while I do enjoy wearing gi I did not choose my art because of that. I choose it because of the whole package that no other art seems to have. The brutal training with bare knuckle punches, the kyokushin mindset and conditioning, the samurai and Japanese philosophy, the beautiful and powerful katas with meditation and breathing techniques, the Japanese culture, philosophy and respect, and also the grading system which gives a linear and clear goal of something to always improve and learn, you can in fact spent your whole life on kyokushin but still never be able to reach 10th dan, which is what I love. And also by not allowing head punches you keep your brain cells in the long run, so it's a good combination of everything. I love that a lot of people in my dojo are 40-60 year olds who still train and fight hard, there is no age to the art which is beautiful.

I also studied Kendo later in teens under shihan who was one of the first men to successfully complete the 100 man kumite in Japan (John Jarvis). I still call it the meathead style. Affectionately, because it's true. Finesse? Ah no, that's not Mas Oyama's thing. You are so right about mindset tho', and the idea of mind conditioning through physical conditioning. BUT all that knuckle and floor stuff, muscle and grit over finesse, conditioning and hard movements really wears on the body of old practitioners. It's a good base to learn what traditioonal "martial art" means and feels like but it's very limited in the breadth of things there are out there to learn.

Fortunately my Sensei was my older brother; a former Chicano gang member who had reformed his way through taking lessons with Guro Daniel Inosanto. He (my older brother) would come home from lessons so motivated that he would drag me into the backyard to continue working out what he had learned. I was taught how to throw the Bruce Lee straight lead punch in 5th grade. It took 2-years of daily training to finally get it. His best lesson, though, was after all my forms were nice and clean to his satisfaction he would then come at me with how it actually happened on the streets. Sucker punches, biting, spitting, multiple opponents, street weapons, etc. Only then will you know if your JKD works or not. It never failed me. By the time I was a sophomore in high school I was already, by rumor and reputation, rated as one of the toughest people on campus...and, I was a band Twinkie the whole time!! Hahahaha!!

I studied Tae Kwon Do for years and have had about a dozen street fights. I never lost. One on one was a joke. I fought 8-1 and won with only being hit once. Our instructor's family escaped north Korea after the war and they all taught old school Tae Kwon Do. We sparred like it was real fights almost everyday, and Saturdays we would fight for 1-2 hours straight, opponent after opponent and up to 3 opponents at a time, it was brutal. We never trained sport Tae Kwon Do. My instructor had calluses on the side of his hand and his knuckles and was a total badass. He could kick you with such power and control he would cause a shockwave to travel through your skin of your body without hurting you. It all depends on how your trained.

And noticed how they trained.. bag work Pad work… everything geared toward combat. and then I signed up for a kickboxing fight.. After that l quit traditional karate. But I didn’t drop the style I just took what I loved about karate and incorporated into kickboxing.. so, my spinning kicks and spinning backfist. I appreciate the style I trained in because It gave me a unique kickboxing style but i was over the gi and traditional bowing in and out of a gym and saying “yes sensei!” I loved going in with my gym shorts and getting some good training in.

Japanese Karate focus on Budo or martial way of life which means it is not actually focus on a combative side of Karate but on more spiritual enlightenment but back to the old days in Okinawa they did the jutsu part or the concept based Karate but now even in Okinawa they also starting to become a more like Japanese way of teaching Karate but there are some masters there teaching the old ways of Karate which is concept based or the "why" and the Japanese Karate focuses on the "how" that's why their kihon is far not so useful in actual combat. You see, Karate is design to kill or disable the person it is not actually non-consensual combat so the engagement is more closer and sneaky. And the shocking thing about Okinawan Karate is they also trained in weapons because Karate and Kobudo are partners. You don't wanna fight someone who's having a weapon ofcourse. Maybe you should re-explore Karate more and you will find some I suggest focus first on kihon why they're like that. Karate is not always a strike and it will level up your mma if you do mma.😊✊

After 42 years of study in a wide array of styles... I’d only call myself moderately good. Your analysis is spot on, you have to fight within those styles because it’s what it all boils down to. I’ve survived open heart surgery, knee surgery, two ear surgeries(deaf left side), I’ve been shot, stabbed, I jumped into a malfunctioning carnival ride to save some kids, I’ve had eight concussions, two rollovers, and three broken ribs. All of that has left its Mark and made it exceptionally difficult to be more that a moderate martial artist, especially with another trained individual. So I focus on all three of those areas to improve, and then I simply hope. Note: most of my health problems were congenital birth defects... except for the stupid heroics, those are all on me.

Judo was developed to be something you could practice at full speed, using all it's techniques and come back the next day, unharmed. It is a martial art, a sport, a form of self defense and a form of physical and mental education. We never called the matches in our competitions fights, (I started Judo in 1967). We called ourselves judoka (one meaning was judo player). We never saw the Kime no Kata till we reached Shodan. If you are truly defending yourself, you are not 'closing the distance', meeting someone outside, or stepping into a ring to fight for money.

EXACTLY. That is also why the techniques in Judo, Aikido, Aikijujutsu, etc, are usually demostrated against someone that is already moving in the direction that they are going to be throw to. If someone wants to attacks you but you are repeatedly getting out of their ramge, they will eventually try really hard to get to you, which will in result make many of the techniques way easier to do

I actively train Muay Thai/Muay Chaiya and Jiu Jitsu but have also trained wing chun(still practice 30 minutes daily) and I totally agree with your comment regarding Silva. I've also watched a video of him on a wooden dummy and he wasn't using standard wing chun as I know it and at one point literally looked like he was slapping it open handed. Wing chun is very useful but it is important to think about the context. First, it isn't a "practical art" and instead it is a "conceptual art" and it is a "dead art" vs a "living art" meaning the tech is set by some source that can not be question and the system doesn't grow(unlike Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu where whatever works within the rules wins). Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu are examples of practical arts. Wing Chun, and most martial arts with forms, are conceptual and some more or less on a spectrum between pure concept and some mixture of concept and practical use. Wing Chun forms are almost entirely pure concepts and the concepts are useful but imho only if you already know how to fight. Just as an example, and a relevant example imho, no one punches in a real fight like you see people punch a speed bag. I know several techs on the speed bag that are actually hand fighting where I'm using it to clear their guard as a setup for some other strike. Wing chun is basically a bunch concepts like speed bag drills and you either have to have someone who knows how to use it practically in a real situation against a skilled opponent or just figure it out on your own.

I started with boxing, then moved to Wado-Ryu and when that club closed, did Wing Chun for a few years. All have a lot to commend them, but real fighting is all about speed and aggression. Most techniques, apart from the basics, go out of the window as soon as it all kicks off. Unless it's groin/knee level, forget about using kicks, it just means you are off balance. From experience (I worked the doors at clubs for a bit), avoid the grappling styles, as you don't know who is with the person you are trying to subdue, but you can be sure that whoever they are, they will be using your head as a football if you go to ground. Use hard surfaces. If you can bounce someone's skull off of a wall with a push or shoulder barge, it will be far more effective than a punch. If they are wearing a hood, pull it over their face. Use a hammer-fist rather than a punch to save your knuckles, if you can use your elbows, knees and head at close range, they will be far more effective than locks and holds. People pick up on the speed and aggression faster than they do anything else, and tend to back off really quickly. OK, I am 6'5" and 250 lbs, which probably also helps. But more than half the battle is showing intent. If you move really fast, and with purpose, and look like you might bite their nose off and eat it, they tend to behave.

Well, since you mentioned Tang Soo Do I had to respond. First let me clarify something. The martial arts as practiced today are not the same as they were 40+ years ago when I trained. Today, they are much more sport oriented and the training much less rigorous. I also noticed all the things people are not taught. The three skills mentioned used to exist in all martial arts styles, including Tang Soo Do. Techniques are governed by the structure of the human body. They may vary in execution, but at the end of the day, a punch is a punch, a kick is a kick. So there is no need to save your "style", you just need to learn all of it As for challenges, that used to happen back in the day. There were no rules, no referee, no gloves and before it was over, someone was getting hurt. It was combat, not a game. It happened to me twice and I was lucky that my opponents were unprepared to back up their challenge with superior skill. When I watch modern martial arts, I see a sport that has some utility for basic self defense. It is art, not combat. There is a lot of physical training but little training of the mind which is more important if you want to survive. But hey, I am an old man and the world is a less dangerous place, so perhaps the changes are for the best. If you are interested in the perspective of someone even older than me, try to find the book "The Weaponless Warriors" by Richard Kim. You may want to read it more than once as it contains lessons that are not obvious.

I worked as a security guard, and also got into some fights in my younger days when out drinking etc. But to be honest, I feel like the best martial art I learned was my four years of high school wrestling. Judo also was good because I learned chokes and locks, and I also could mix in my wrestling with it. I was never a big striker but could still throw a punch, but it was my wrestling and judo that really did work out in the streets in real fighting situations.

I am actually one of those Tang Soo Do guys trying to make it more functional... Overall, I really like your video here, and agree with all your points for the most part. That said, Tang Soo Do, being a Karate-based art, if it really went back to it's roots, would be a system that continues to evolve. Real, Okinawan Karate was more like MMA than what we see in tournaments today. It had grappling, wrestling and striking. It also evolved as it was passed from instructor to student, rather than being regulated by a large organization. I'm in the middle of nowhere when it comes to Tang Soo Do. There's no one else around me who does it. I use the name Tang Soo Do because it's the style I "grew up" in, but I've cross-trained in other styles, admittedly. There's a TON of techniques in TSD that are completely valid techniques, but expressed or applied poorly for actual defensives. And, there's a lot of stuff in TSD being touted as real self-defense that will get someone killed quickly. I left my association, and am completely independent now. I treat it more like TSD is my base style, rejecting that which I find ineffective, and embracing concepts that work. Again, great video!
