Is there anyone here into fighting?
I know there are different types of disciplines but I was wondering which was the easiest to get into at an older age (late 20's).
Some sort of boxing maybe?
I feel like karate and judo stuff are out of the question -seems like those kids have been doing it since they were 4.

Kickboxing is fun stuff, great cardio and applicable if need be.

Jiu Jitsu is the best ground fighting, hands down. Muay Thai kickboxing and western boxing are the best for striking.

brazilian jiu jitsu has a very good culture for people starting the sport in their 20s, 30s, 50s. I think anthony bourdain is in his late 50s and just started and got a blue belt in BJJ

Wow that's impressive.
Here I was thinking I was too old.

Is it a male only sport?
What about females?

The only point being good at fighting is if you live in some shithole aka not America where you can't defend yourself with a gun

>mfw I'm actually from Texas
>mfw I own more guns than pairs of shoes
I j-just wanna be /fit/.

Then just lift and do other /fit/ activities. There is no point for us Texans to waste our time on martial arts training

Muay thai is great. If you find the right gym they'll only spar at 70%+- which avoids knocking each other out.. While still keeping sharp.

I really dont get this mentality of >hurr if we have guns, why do anything?
The real question is why not? It makes yourself a little more interesting than just telling people you lift weights
>>37055523
pretty much nothing these days is male only there may be a few male only dojos but most will be inclusive

yeah I think most peoples point is the reality of most situations where people think they'll defend themselves are unrealistic because guns and knives imo though martial arts are fun and have practical application in situations where nobody wants to get serious enough to kill each other
