I remember some twig like black kid who took karate tried doing one of his kicks on me. I just grabbed his leg and threw him. It was the most cringiest thing I seen in middle school.

You'd have to live in a populous / ethnic city to have any of those other than boxing.

Krav Maga, I tried it for a month and it's great. Really easy to pick up and you learn a lot, much more damaging than Karate or Tai Kwon Do in my opinion

you should learn how to ninja and do jutsu

It depends on why you want to learn martial arts in the first place.

Fitness? Self-defense? Competition? You can learn Tai Chi as long as the teacher and school are legit.

Jiu Jitsu is the hot meme of martial arts for this generation, what karate/ninjutsu was 20, 30 years ago. Be very very careful of McDojos of fat middle-aged men who claim to have totally fought in a million underground cage matches.

Mostly fitness and self defense. I want to feel like a badass.
Normalfags need to fear and respect me.
Not planning to kill anyone but I want to be more like Tony from hotline miami 2.

This was decades before MMA and Antonio Inoki wasn't allowed to grapple to Muhammed Ali and he could only kick when he was on the ground. Still wrecked his legs and knees.

Stop listening to all these faggots and dont go for any of that mystical shit. If it looks too flashy then it doesnt work. Take a lot of trial classes at different gyms and try to research some martial arts. If they spar often then its probably pretty legit and also you want to check out the instrunctors' credentials. You can find various martial arts places that arent too sport oriented but i feel the ones that arent for competition tend to be too autistic trying to do impractical things you'd have to just get lucky to find a legit self defense place that isn't a mcdojo.

>>27297627
Then avoid very sporty martial arts like Taekwondo, most Karate styles, kickboxing, kung fu, and even boxing and Jiu Jitsu.


You want to learn a full-body striking martial art like Muay Thai, and a trow/takedown defense martial art like Judo or Sambo. You can even join a sporty MMA gym as a last resort if you can't find those other martial arts I mentioned. If you join a karate school make sure that it is Kyokushin. Just make sure that the place you think of joining isn't a McDojo.

>Learning some faggot vietnamese fight
>Not learning HEMA and carrying on the honour and glory of your ancestors.

That's why you are a failure, OP

Thanks m8.
How can I identify a McDojo?
>>
>>27297840
For traditional martial arts:
-Teacher doesn't list his own teachers' lineage
-Teacher will have claimed to have trained under "many masters" while not actually naming a single one
-Doesn't even have a proper style, it's just generic "karate" or "kung-fu"
-Kids with brow/black belts and just being a belt factory in general
-If the school does claim a style, it's not associated with that style's national or international federation/organization

For modern MMA Gyms
-It shares the same space as a women's yoga studio or something
-Same as traditional martial arts, the teacher doesn't say where he got his training or makes very vague claims
-Will try to capitalize on the UFC name even fi they have no affiliation
-It's one guy overseeing all the different martial arts from boxing to jiu jitsu, and maybe he has like 20 year old assistant teachers.


Also in either case, the head teacher/sensei will look like your average high school phys ed teacher or football coach with his "I haven't done a sit up in 20 years" fat stomach.

This is what I mean.

Thanks again bro.
I appreciate it.

>>27298230
No problem senpai and thanks to you as well cause I used to train 10+ years ago and then just quit overnight.

Now that I know that I don't have AIDS or nothing I feel like training again. Martial arts are the best sport for robots too. Fuck a team sport full of Chads.

>Do you want to learn how to fight?
>NO
>the entire rest of that graph

Memes aside, that's more or less accurate, and bonus points for separating Kyokushin from all the other "we are too enlightened to spar" karate styles
