What's the best street fighting martial arts???
the one? where you lay on your back, with your legs wide open, that invites your buddy to lay on top of you, so you can wrap your legs really tight around his hips, in that missionary sex position.

the art or using a gun
Reply:The best is CSD


why


because it teaches evadence first, then how to destroy your opponent gently. Ya know with the least amount of damage as he is human.


Thats why it is actually more usefull for law enforcement, you still have an opponent left. Mayb he was pretzeled a bit, but he is a ok. Alot of what we see is useless on the street unless you want a good prison stay. Just because you can win a fight on the streets does not equate to a good life. MA has alot to offer that is not just a fight.

Reply:Ok I'm not trying to be mean here but this needs to be said:





ok first off one question mark will do. Doing this ??? after a question is nothing but childish.





Second, there is no best martial art. Everyone needs to stop asking this question and do some research and find out what they like best for themselves.





Third, questions like this make me wish we either had active moderators or a "Beating a Dead Horse" button
Reply:Yea yea theres no best martial art everyone knows that but a damm good one for self defense is krav maga used by the isralei army.
Reply:id go with jiu jitsu since thats what i train and have been successful with but there really is no correct answer since 90% of people on the streets cant fight their way out of a wet paper sack





to all you dummies that keep answering stuff like "gun gu" (you know who you are) please try and stay out of the martial arts section
Reply:The question can't be answered because you provided no information about the person asking. If you want to know what is the best form of self defense for yourself, then you need to give a complete description of your mental and physical attributes and abilities. The most common element throughout the Martial Arts commmunity is the claim to be the best. The truth is that what works great for me might be lousy for you. I am 5ft 10inches, 160lbs, medium build, very strong, very fast for my age (55) and I have been studying for over 40 years. Learning as many styles as I can is good for me. A mixture of Kenpo, Jeet Kune Do and Judo is what worked best for me. Good luck in your research!

The one you happen to be training in at the time.The art doesn't make the fight the user does.
Reply:Those that train for the street, not the contest ring. The very blows which are banned in the ring win on the street. If you face me, and refrain from poking me in the eye, because it is a contest foul, and I poke yours, because the street has no foul, I win. Need I say more? Except, one blow rarely wins, it takes more than that.
Reply:Filipino Martial Arts, meaning Kali, Arnis, or Eskrima.





The reason these arts are better than most, if not all, other styles for the street, is that they cover more ranges of combat especially weapons. While some othe arts like Krav Maga, Sambo, Jujitsu, and other teach to defend against weapons, the Filipino arts contain the most dangerous weapon skills found in any given martial art systems. This is why the U.S. military, especially special forces, are at least taught the basics of the Filipino arts.





FMAs are also more complete than most other arts, teaching striking techniques that work both armed and empty-handed and are derived from karate and fencing, throwing and takedowns, joint-locking,some ground fighting via Dumog, Filipino wrestling, which is integrated into the systems, and both weapons training and defenses against weapons, especially against sticks and knives, the most likely weapons to encounter in 'the street.' Also note, while not necessarily covered in depth explicitly, the principles for disarming a stick or knife, which the Filipino Martial Arts excel at, can be applied to firearms, even though one should never try to disarm a gun unless they are sure their life is in danger.





Thus, these arts, all technically the same except for slight variances in geography and training methods, are the single best for 'street fighting,' something that most people should avoid at all costs.
