Muay Thai best striking art, Kyokushin/Shotokan Karate are good too if you can't do MT.
For grappling, pick one of BJJ or Judo and also do wrestling (eg. Muay Thai, BJJ and Wrestling)
>>35790308
Most practical, most effective is probably boxing.
The normal person doesn't know shit about fighting, mostly because they quickly lose control.
Also Krav Maga is the crossfit equivalent of martial arts
>>35790381
civilian krav sucks, the krav you learn as civilians has little resemblance to the actual israeli special forces krav.
If you spar when doing krav it can be good, if they tell you its 2deadly for sparring it probably sucks and/or the instructors aren't skilled enough to apply it without seriously harming people. You won't beat a competing mma fighter but that's not really the point of Krav Maga anyway.
>>35790437
Boxing or muay thai for striking; then wrestling for takedowns if necessary.

I started kudo/daido-juku this week. It's pretty great. Throws, striking, elbows, headbutts, ground work, using the opponent's clothing against them (similar to judo kuzushi but the "grab" is delivered as a palm strike).
Basically OP, pick one from the following sets
Boxing/muay thai + bjj/judo/wrestling
Avoid anything chink or gook and anything that sells itself as "military" and you're pretty good. There's some other cool stuff like sambo but it's hard to find so rarely worth bringing up

Back then as a kid I used to do judo/sambo, it is pretty useful and complimentary to lifting.

If you are huge there is really no reason to not pick up judo or sambo, you are going to straight out bulldoze anyone who gets in your way.

Agreed
Wrestling is by far the best martial art, along with jiu justsu. As long as you have a few years under your belt you should dominate most fights.
>>35790308
Wrestling and Boxing. Anything else can be achieved by this combination. Kicks should never be used in a real fight except for certain really rare situations as you are absolutely fucked if you injure your leg which is very easy in a fight.
Generally box until you make sure your opponent does not have a stabbing instrument and then wrestle the fuck out of him.

If you have the strength for it; judo with street rules. You will just bang them to the ground instantly
>>35792065
Kicks are great in fights, but only frontal to the chest or abdomen as well as side straight kicks. Only a master should be able to pull off kicking someone in the head.
As far as boxing goes, I boxed for 3 years, and I will never throw a punch in a fight unless I have to. I'll stick with elbows if I'm going to be using my arms, and not break my hands.
Knees are great if you have the momentum and skill to grapple your opponent after closing the distance.
In all reality if I'm fighting someone, I'll be going under them with a single leg takedown then after slamming them to the ground I'll pretzel em.

Military sanshou.
It's literally a combination of all the most deadly and practical kungfu and shuaijiao moves that were often used in the Chinese military.
If you ever look up a video on youtube of military sanda/sanshou then you can see how fast and practical the throws and grappling are.
But since it's military the CCP probably keeps it TOP SEKRET

If you're doing it right you don't need much strength. Forcing a throw only really comes up in competition when both participants are prepared for judo tactics.

Judo is based off of using your opponents momentum right? Or using their center of gravity in conjunction with your own to move them in a desired way.
What type of ground game is employed in Judo? I'm literally just curious, not baiting.
>>35790685
Guns kill people you tryhard.
>>35792127
All of the above. Probably the single most important technique in judo is kuzushi (breaking balance). This can be done through pulling/pushing or setting up the opponent into moving in the desired direction. It's chess as fuck.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfNFjoDuZmU
You'll see in the second throw how he gets his opponent moving backwards before going for the throw.
Literally the same as bjj but without the memes. It's also (in my limited experience) far more aggressive due to the time constraints. The two issues with judo ground work are a) due to the meta the majority of judo places don't train it nearly enough and b) even the places that do a lot of ground work rarely do any leg based locks as they're outright banned.

Looks like dancing. My wrestling coach taught me based off of the concept that wrestling is like dancing. You have to get your opponent to dance with you, and when you do, you control the match.
I saw a lot of moves there that I've seen in wrestling. All very solid and if done in a fight will give you the advantageous position.
Sadly I have not given Judo a go yet. I've only played with boxing, jiujutsu, muay thai and of course wrestling for ten years.
>>35792211
My god, it's sad that everyone here can read that.
I never trained any fighting, and in my college you can sign to 1,2 or 8 boxing classes. Is this normal? Or should I find a real boxing club with regular trainings?
>>35792212
If you've done wrestling and bjj you'll have no problem. There's a pretty big cross over in all grappling styles. Particularly in judo and wrestling since a few techniques kano straight stole from a wrestling manual he picked up in europe.
>>35790663

isn't a suit of bullet proof armor more practical for self defense?
I mean a gun is more like offense
and requires more steps to get off an effective shot than just doing your thing with a suit of armor on.

>>35792441
None. A few claims to (krab magoo and shitkido particularly) but they can't handle one untrained opponent from the outset.
Striking is your best bet though. In 90% of cases getting gang banged is entirely self-inflicted though.

Would this be a disadvantage?

Except that had been done literally hundreds if not thousands of times before he was born. If you want to look at an actual martial arts pioneer then look into jigoro kano, the founder of judo.

Learn to box, simple to pick up, yet as you become more technical, faster, fitter, more explosive and powerful you can become an absolute weapon, and fit as fuck.

Anything with sparring, it doesn't really matter. Any of them are effective because with fighting conditioning you should be able to outrun anyone. Learning some parkour is recommended for the ideal fighting style.

do you live in russia or something?
i heard of the new \ tournament rule that they tried out in 2008 or whatnot.
but at my dojo, during kumite, people still apologize when they accidentally hit the face. it's kinda funny cause nasty uppercuts to solar plex are no prob
why do some of you think boxing would be more practical than jiu jitsu? I mean i do neither, but imo anyone can throw a few punches around, but if someone who knows jiu jitsu grabs you and throws you to the ground, then you're in foreign land
also i'd have my face punched before having my arm broken any day
>>35792933
Lived in ausfailia. I went to a class run by john taylor (9th dan under mas oyama) and they had head punches with light gloves and headgear.
Now live in japan and one of my co-workers said when he did kyo they did head punches.
>>35792939
>>35792939
A few reasons:
1) defending haymakers until a bouncer rolls up is better legally and for safety
2) bjj throws are fucking abysmal fom a judo perspective. I'm sure wrestlers would agree. I went to what a friend at a state championship and I saw one clean takedown. Everything else was guard jumping or dudes throwing themself.
3) DLTDs on hard surfaces are a bad idea as either renzo or ryan gracie demonstrated when he shattered his knee cap doing one in a fight in vegas. Are you better than renzo/ryan gracie?
4) getting tangled up on the ground is a bad idea in a crowded situation. I'm not going to say 30 niggers are going to jump on your head and I'm going to assume the idea is to get off the ground as fast as possible but you can still get caught up all the same.
>>35790308
Have fun punching when I break your fingers. If you come in for a punch I'm grabbing your candy ass and breaking the firat bone I get a grip on.
The most practical is a striking art with a little grappling like Muay Thai or a good MMA. I do the former. I don't enjoy it but I know if it comes to it I'll be glad of it. It's practical and it's very effective.
Boxing is top notch too but the former edges it out only because it's important to know how to defend against knees and kick and boxers sometimes don't.
If you're like to get in a fight I'd recommend these. Are they good for the body... well it's a lot of cardio and your gonna take injuries. Muay Thai especially does my legs all sorts of misery.
That said for an all round hobby and past time to both improve your body and mind I unequivocally recommend wrestling.
I love wrestling. 10 minutes of wrestling can be as much cardio as a 5k run and the things you learn and apply in wrestling not only help you in fights but also when you have to control people gently like old folk or girls and kids. Also the value of submissions can't be overestimated.
That said you can be the best wrestler in the world and doesn't matter if you get knocked out by the first punch.
Boxing or kyokushing. Everything else is a waste of time.

You're literally exactly what you called me. An unexperienced loser that doesn't know what he's talking about.
I'm thinking of picking up Judo some time this year. I have no experience with fighting sports but I figured it would be easier for me to find good training for it considering it's the 4th most popular sport in my country by registered practitioners.
I'm not doing it for le ebin bar warrior, it just seemed fun and balanced. Is there something I should know ? I tried looking in /asp/ but it looks like it's been overrun... I'm just not sure it's really reasonable to try to be serious at both swimming, judo, studies, lifting, there just aren't that many days in a week man.
