Why were Asians able to develop the best martial arts in human history?

Literally the most effective forms the world has ever known.

Muay Thai alone is among the most favored disciplines for modern MMA/UFC fighters.

I had to fight some gook in high school. He did martial arts but I lifted. He kept trying to hug me and put me in these weird locks, as I think they are called. I beat the shit out of him.

Asian martial arts are all faggot shit. None of that shit works in a real fight.

I took karate classes when I was younger and none of the shit that I was taught would work in a real fight. They taught to like...deflect punches. When the fuck have you ever seen anyone move quick enough to deflect a punch? That doesn't work in reality.

If you want to learn how to fight take boxing lessons. I did, and my fighting improved a shitload. They teach you real, practical things. I'll never forget something that my boxing instructor said: "Keep your eyes open for. every. fucking. thing." For some reason that quote still sticks with me and it's true. No matter how hard you get punched you need to keep your eyes on your opponent.

Greco-Roman wrestlers destroy everyone. The East only began incorporating takedowns and ground and pound after Americans destroyed everyone there. Before it was all punches and kicks, which are useless in a fight. Fights are all about wrestling.

UFC is fake, by the way. The Fertitas are a mob family and have been in control of a fixed fighting empire for generations, the Gracies who started UFC also are known for fixing fights, and Pride and Pancrase have had several known WORKED fights of record, not just fixed. PrideFC went down in flames when the Japanese press exposed their Yakuza links. It's all fucking fake.

A European swordsman would have ruined a Japanese swordsman.

A European hand-do-hand fighter would have ruined a Japanese 'martial artist' based on size alone.

Martial arts are a fucking money making scam. This was true even back when they were being developed. All that 'ki' bullshit, and nonsense practice posing. It's garbage.

Sparring is the only way to develop your own system... not a style, a system. You teach yourself your strengths, and learn how to counter certain things... this is only done with actual fighting, and the trickery of asian fighting is useless in a real-world scenario.

Martial arts "masters" were traveling snake-oil salesmen.

If you keep your eyes open you can deflect or dodge a punch.

You either have shit reaction time, poor coordination, or both.

Learn to read a person and have situational awareness and nobody will get a drop on you. Or if they do they wont connect as hard as they could allowing you to retaliate.


But yeah, most Asian martial arts are shit tier. All flash and show, and little effectiveness.

Even Bruce Lee later found boxing to be a better alternative to Asian martial arts. Since it was about ending a fight quickly, and efficiently. With no movements wasted on flourishing steps.

Thank the indians for kickstarting it,

Also since we're bashing martial arts:
the annoying thing about martial arts is that it needs an obscene amount of training and is thus useless in war since the enemy can just levy 10 slightly trained troops for 1 of your extremely disciplined troops and they would beat the living daylights out of him, so it ended up mostly being useful for self defense, because the goal is survive not to defeat your oponnents who might outnumber you

>>69667231

He told me to keep my eyes open even when I am getting punched in the face. I was closing my eyes while getting punched. If you keep your eyes open you can see if your opponent is going to follow it up with another punch.

Deflecting punches doesn't work. You can dodge a punch or block a punch but deflecting doesn't work, and deflecting is like 75% of karate. "Oh just deflect the punch with a karate chop and follow through with a kick." Yeeeeeah, like that will fucking work.

Seriously, boxing lessons are the shit. I should take more. They're kind of expensive and you really have to give it 100%. Hopefully I can get athletic enough to get back into it. I let myself get chubby as your average, shitty-diet-eating, beer-drinking American.

Theirs are the same as any other martial arts, they just had a lot of time/tradition behind them to produce complicated schools and ranking systems. It doesn't mean it's somehow better than anything foreigners came up with. They just have a lot more decoration.

If you want to train troops the best way of training is sambo, it doesnt take shittone of time to teach you to stretch or learn 7 leg kicks, it only teaches 3 most basic and useful, it also includes basics of wrestling, some box techniques etc, making it one of the most useful martial arts irl.

They didn't . European martial arts used weapons always. First swords and daggers and then guns. Until the very recent time soldiers and aristocracy always carried some form of weapon at all time.
>>
>>69666674
The truth is that asian countries have always banned civilians from owning weapons. Martial arts came about as a means to resist. It was often taught and practiced in secret. In the case of muay thai, it was disguised as dance.

SEA had best martial arts. They literally trained in that, along with their weaponry, from birth. Siam wasn't ever colonized by Euros, and for a reason. Guns can't help you when every target you can shoot is within 10 feet of you, a gap that, as the police you'd learn in police training, can be closed in less than 2 seconds.

It mostly involved using long pieces of wood and/or breaking bones by using weight to fracture the joints.

Western boxing is one of the most efficient forms of fighting and wrestling is one of the better forms of grappling. You add in kickboxing and you have a core that makes you a well-rounded, capable fighter across any continent and historical time.

A lot of martial arts developed around their time according to certain rules and constraints. Karate is pretty laughable right now as a form of self-defense fighting. But Take the same form and movements, take on 100 pounds of armor, then those movements make a lot more sense.

Same thing with Tai-Chi. Kung Fu developed the same way along with Brazillian Caipoera, where it was suppressed and dressed up through cultural repression and hundreds of years of "tradition" muddling core concepts.

My strategy is to push them onto there back hold there arms down with my knees and punch them in the head until they go limp. I took a kung foo guy like this before. I'm short (5'9) and really big built so im heavier and stronger than the average 6'0" to 6"5 guy. When i was in collage i got in a fight with this really tall guy he was like 6'8" I ended up grabbing his legs and pulling them out from under him, once he was on the ground it was all oger. I'd say the best strategy for fighting me is to keep your distance and throw quick punches from the side and backstep, im strong but im not very fast.

They invented a lot of martial arts, but a lot of them were garbage. Most Western martial arts were abandoned as warfare changed, as well.

As we're finding out now, German Langschwert was one of the most developed and intricate martial arts to ever exist, and when combined with Kampfringen (martial wrestling) it was basically the perfect system of fighting for the armored, armed man. The various fencing styles of the rapier (which were largely lost except for select manuals) were also far more scientific and well explained than their Eastern equivalents.

In a more modern sense, Greco-Roman wrestling is still a dominant force in MMA, as is Boxing, alongside the primarily Japanese arts of Karate (a lot of striking comes from Karate for some reason) and Jiu-Jitsu, though the latter has been largely tempered and demystified by the likes of the Gracies.

Anybody who has actually seriously studied martial arts will tell you that your premise that asiatic people developed the "best martial arts" is false. They will also add that, for the most part, martial arts around the world really arent that different. The greatest variations exist in weapon based forms, and these are primarily do to the differences in the weapons themselves.

Martial forms are not representative of how the art is practiced in actual fact. Many asiatic traditions emphasize the form over the function because they have become cultural practices that fulfill functions similar to that of dance. If you are actually Thai, you might have a sense of Muay Thai as being very ritualized, having an American sports wrestling element to it in televised tournaments, and generally not as just for bashing faces in.

Im guessing you are just visiting or using a proxy, though.
