Let's say I want to learn to fight well enough that I could both defend myself and compete at an amateur level in MMA (meaning I would need to learn both striking and grappling).
What's the very cheapest way I could do this money-wise? I'm willing to put in a lot of effort but extra money is limited. Would it be going to an MMA gym? Boxing + judo?
Obviously quality of instruction is very important, so I'm fine with spending more on the same martial art for a better instructor, but I'd rather pay the same amount to be taught well in a cheaper MA than poorly in one that just generally tends to charge more.
Pic unrelated. I don't want to accidentally kill anybody.
Judo isn't so great for MMA.
It's best to do some no-gi grappling, and for MMA today, you'd need a well rounded striking art.
First of all, you get the best quality from training at a quality MMA gym.
If you're doing 1 striking art and 1 grappling art, you need knowledge possessed by MMA trainers to blend arts, or you need the intelligence to blend the arts effectively in an MMA context.
For MMA today, you need a well rounded striking art. Muay Thai is popular for that, and very good for that.
You need American Kickboxing at the very least.
As cool as Boxing is, it needs heavy modification to work in MMA. Even the Diaz brothers throw kicks and modified Boxing for it to work. They don't use Boxing, they use MMA Boxing.
Wrestling is often said to be a great base for MMA or just about any other grappling art.
Just like with striking, grappling needs modification before it works in MMA.
And unless you're in high school, it'll probably be difficult to find wrestling instruction.
One of the cheapest ways to train MMA money wise is if you have no training whatsoever, take Muay Thai for a month, take no-gi BJJ for a month, take quality MMA for 6 months, and find someone at the MMA gym who's willing to train with you on the side free of charge. You also have to be very dedicated and go often, to make the most out of your time spent training.

For hand to hand self defense, you can add groin kicks, and 12-6 elbows, throat strikes are also free game.
On the ground, you can pry at your opponent's fingers, and you can even break them; you can bite, you can head butt, and you can squeeze their groin.
Against multiple opponents, learn Parkour.
If you for some reason can't Parkour, or you're trying to be a hero or something, being a hero is dangerous and possibly stupid but fine, stay on the outside. Don't let your opponent's surround you, and don't spend a lot of time with one opponent. Avoid grappling at all costs. If one of them grips your jacket or shirt, and you can't get free, you're fucked, unless you're Batman or almost as skilled as Batman, or just fortunate.
Also, pepper spray, tasers, stun batons, batons, knives, shooting someone is a dick move but guns.
With a gun, you could very well pretend like you're going to kill the person, but never shoot the person.
You can just stand there and point the gun at a guy and say
>DON'T FUCKING MOVE OR I'LL BLOW 5 HOLES IN YOUR CHEST!
and call the cops.
You could even fire a shot by the guy's feet to make him think you're more serious.
If he's standing there, but you don't want to risk him charging at you, you can shoot him on the leg.

I guess he realized that not everyone gets a kick out of his double-talking jewry.

seems like it, glad to see wrestlers smartening up about that jew. he literally makes money off gullible marks while wrestlers actually put their bodies on the line for the industry.
who?
There's no way that HHH will retain the title right? If he does, what's next? What story line could possibly happen other than just more HHH vs Reigns matches?
>>1125892
>There's no way that HHH will retain the title right?
Correct. I have taken the liberty of disregarding the rest of your post because it's pointless. You're welcome.
He'll feud with Samoa Joe next, if not Deanetty in another face-face feud.
Reminder that he's going to have to put over Roman before he retires.
What's Big Match John going to be doing at Mania lads?

Costing Taker the match to set up the retirement match for next year that was supposed to happen this year.

I'm quit curious about ninjutsu, taijutsu or bujinka and I like to train it in the future (I'm too old to become New Naruto...).
I'm looking at Bujinka school nearby but I'm worrying about it is another McDojo.
I'm also looking at other ninja school that call Banke Shinobi no Den founding by Jinichi Kawakami but their schools is only located in Spain and Japan.
ninjas are fictional and there is no fighting system associated with them
if ninjas did exist they wouldn't have much need for hand to hand combat if they were any good at being ninjas
it's the same reason they don't do more than a few basic moves in the military. if you are on a mission to kill someone and end up in a boxing match you fucked up somewhere along the line.
>>1121869
>I'm going to ninja school
Do you realize how retarded you are
>>1121869
same mcdojo symptoms as anywhere else.
impe bujinkan doesn't seem that bad except the lack of resistant sparring and conditioning, so be sure to find a buddy and train hard outside of class. Also judo and bjj are great supplements with a lot of skill overlap.
>>1121892
Gosh Kristi, why do you always do this. Its a semantic arguement that has been beat to death several times. We're talking about japanese unarmed combat techniques by whatever name you want to call them.
In my experience at least 90% of the buj's material comes from Gyokko-ryu, Koto-ryu, Shinden Fudo-ryu and Takagi Yoshin-ryu, all of which are verifiable styles of jujutsu.
Since Takamatsu and Hatsumi put a ninja spin on it everyone went bonkers but we all know its the same ole stuff.

It's a George Carlin line.
Bill Hicks had a similar line too:
"It's going to take a really special woman... or a bunch of average ones."
Cornette steals most of his lines.
So I'm a huge Undertaker fan, watched him since I was a kid back in the early 90s. My question is what is the consensus on his wrestling ability from his prime?
I can't remember that far back, and I stopped watching wrestling full time toward the end of his biker gimmick. He wrestles so rarely now plus he's so old you can't really make a fair statement on his wrestling ability.
Mania Matches vs Shawn and matches with Punk
His match against Jeff Hardy is also reveared
>>1121390
Next to Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow, the best big man worker, ever.
>>1121390
He actually got better in his later years, it's just a LOT more infrequent now.
