  1. Some good points. All martial arts are systems that have adapted to the user's needs. And then capitalism got a hold of it and we have as many varieties as we do cereal selection. Flourishes and cool looking moves are part of the sale, and this hasn't change since Bodiharma.

  2. @TheLincolnrailsplitt – Yeah, very likely – so I'd suggest they have never been on the end of a wrist lock throw, guaranteed. Writs locks are very painful and not difficult to put on in a fight situation. Problem is with keyboard naysayers is they don't know what their talking about, they may know their art, yet have never experienced/trained in others.

    I've always taken the view that the art fits the person, and dependant on how skilled the person is eg: anyone that's been doing an art for at least 2 years will be 'practised/quite skilled' and a force to be reckoned with and probably not a good idea to mess with them. I did Judo for 6 years, and was ranked #5 in England, but even without that level, I could easily defeat in a one on one situation, any more than that and a striking art is needed, in most cases. But, as my Instructor would say, try to withdraw/de-escalate, and only use what you know if you have no other choice.

  3. If someone has the courage and the will to fight then they will fight.
    In my experience alot of martial arts attract people who have never had a fight or people that lack confidence and are searching for something to give them confidence.
    If it's in you to fight then fight if not avoid fighting

  4. As a law abiding US Citizen you have access to THE most effective martial art….which is firearm training. But for me I enjoy training BJJ and some Muay Thai, not into self defense. But into martial arts

  5. I’m going to play the underdog here – I know Joe Rogan really popularized the theme of this video; and I used to subscribe fully. However I think there is something missing here. If an aikido wrist lock for example does work on untrained people, that’s only a little effort for something that’s going to work for 9/10 people. That’s a pretty good time investment in my opinion. I would argue that just learning a take down or a 1-2 isn’t enough. Especially for jiu jitsu you really need to achieve atleast blue belt before you have any idea what you are doing BJJ is very complicated and takes time to get good. Boxing / MT is faster. Yes these are the best and the golden standard. But I don’t believe this means that techniques that won’t work on trained fighters aren’t worth it especially if they are easy to learn and will work on 90 percent.

  6. Realistically you most likely to be attacked by non training or trained attackers in the streets,so it's pretty valid for someone to say they are training for non trained attackers. If you run into a well trained person everyday that would be unbelievable itself. So it's not that your training for the lowest denominator but training what's most likely going to attack you

  7. I dont know how to fight, i never learned any martial arts, i am not a strong man (172cm 75kg mostly body fat) and yet i've never lose any fight in my life. Never attacked first, stayed defensive and i did only one punch on their face on the first chance. All my opponents fainted instantly after that punch. I dont know if i am lucky or gifted.

  8. I just watched this video all the way to the end before I opened up the comments… and I'll be damned what I was going to write, is pretty much the same as what I wrote down two years ago?
    Anyway, I totally agree with you, cheers!

  9. Actually thats because most tai chi, has changed so much from what it was when people used it on the battle field, in fact there is only one type i know that can be used successfully to fight with, most others are for health n exercise but the principle of true tai chi fighting is not being there and they just fall into the empty space that you were occupying

  10. I am an old shotokan practitioner black belt.
    It is a very powerful karate which works well in tournament fighting and as part of your workout routine.
    However I am also aware that the streets require a lot of adaptations from traditional martial arts for different situations.
    I assume anyone could be a good fighter.
    Usually the ears and hands have signs of a fighter but not always.

  11. You are absolutly right! I gave up my style quiet a few years ago. Since than I do this 3 parts of the fighting game and I'm discovering always something new. Only sometimes I still Do a Kata, just for me 😅 Thanks for the coment.
