  1. So you're getting your ass beaten in a "fair" fight. But at a greater disadvantage, you somehow don't.

  2. If your martial art isn't a sport it's nonsense and you can't fight. You don't have a "reflex" of "taking someone's eyes out", because you never did that. An actual grappler is infinitely more able to take someone's eyes out or accomplishing any of your fantasies of violence than any self defense dork.

  3. You can't fight for shit, but you can end a fight "soon". Self defense dorks all think that if the situation is more volatile, their lack of skills prevails over skill.

  4. ​ @xxchaosxx6181 100%. The rules protect the KM dork, not the combat sports practitioner. A lot of the time against strong new guys in bjj I'm on mount, waiting for what they give me, trying to practice my weaker submissions. "On da streetz" without rules, it's EASIER for me. I can simply punch or eyegouge from mount and don't need to finesse a submission.

  5. ​ @RMC-CoD Thank you! Why do self defense dorks think they'd do better at a greater disadvantage. I can beat your ass, but when my friends are with me and we have knives, now we suddenly can't anymore?

  6. ​ @grayscarab5784 MMA gyms don't teach knife fighting and neither does Krav Maga. Krav Maga teaches a fantasy about knife fighting. I like my chances being a better striker and grappler against an armed attacker vs having a bag of tricks in the back of my mind. Bcs fighting isn't about formal knowledge of a set of tricks. It's about feeling, about distance, timing, weight, momentum.

  7. ​ @djpro1782 No. Judo is like 120 years old. The Brazilians started the tradition that now teaches grappling by far the best. That's why it's called Brazilian JiuJitsu. A bjj blue belt of today would totally dominate any judoka of 100 years ago.

  8. Imo Koreans are slightly hotter.

  9. You don't understand fighting at all.

  10. The average female blue belt would dominate you. And all of you dorks in camo pants.
    1
  11. I think a grappler would have an infinitely better chance of accomplishing that than a krav maga dork.
    1
  12. The average bjj blue belt beats the average judo black belt. When strikers transition to mma, they learn bjj, not judo. JJJ is weebs pretending to be samurai, they can't fight at all.

  13. To charge into danger and die?
    1
  14. No. Jiu jitsu as you know it is less than 100 years old. 500 years ago they didn't have gis, they didn't have anything you asociate with jiu jitsu.

  15. Wrestling if that's possible. Lots of places only have wrestling for kids. Judo is amazing, but generally less relevant to fighting in general than wrestling or bjj. If you have to decide between striking and grappling, I'd say striking if it's a boy and grappling if it's a girl.

  16. I think there's a huge correlation between being super serious engaging in violent fantasies all the time and being shit at fighting. The best fighters joke around, laugh, have fun in sparring.

  17. ​ @meshiu2344 They don't. Special forces don't learn any specific hand to hand combat in general. Also, the military in general isn't experts on fighting. Athletes are. The idea that the military has some special sauce that combat athletes don't is totally delusional. The opposite is the case.
    1
  18. ​ @Ingeniousconcept1 Krav Maga is bullshit when they never fight "with rules". Everyone, who never fought "with rules", can't fight at all.
    1
  19. ​ @austinfain5788 They don't and the military is clueless about unarmed combat. It's not important for their operations. Their weapons are rockets and artillery. What the military teaches ppl about unarmed combat is charging bags of sand and hitting them with a rifle. And imo that itself is more practical and a higher form of martial art than fantasy disarms or the plan to eye gouge. Bcs they actually train it.
    1
  20. ​ @austinfain5788 You aquire the basics through sparring and competition. Not through fantasy. The military itself literally fights with rules. They play tactical games, war games all the time. The military knows that practice is required and an imperfect combat game is better than any plan.
    1
  21. ​ @austinfain5788 What "simulations"? Where? All the evidence I see is the highest level self defense dorks in camo pants getting totally dominated by novices from combat sports.

  22. They're at war with ninjas attacking barehanded?
    1
  23. Nope, the level of skill and instruction in Lethwei is really bad compared to Thailand.

  24. Everyone in the modern UFC is amazing grapplers. If they weren't, they wouldn't even get there.

  25. That sounds extremely retarded. There's very few things on the body you can rip. The rest of the time you're just pinching someone, which is mildly annoying at best.

  26. Militaries do stupid shit all the time. They're also not experts on unarmed fighting AT ALL. And I'm unaware of any Western military studying self defense dorkery. They practice charging a bag of sand and beating it with your rifle. African and Arab militaries? Lots of them probably teach a lot of very cringe BS.
    1
  27. ​ @bullterror5 It teaches you the fantasy of doing that.
    1
  28. Nope. A soft, slow and weak boxer or bjj guy would totally dominate a hard and fast self defense dork or tma weeb. It's not about intensity, it's about skill acquisition.

  29. ​ @joebaumgart1146 There's nothing I could possibly worry less about than a krav maga dork trying to go for my throat.

  30. ​ @JessAndyStudios Militaries literally practice nuclear war. But you guys can't figure out how to test your crotch kicking ability at all?

  31. ​ @tsrenis Crushing windpipes is 100% allowed in mma, kickboxing, boxing muay thai,... even in a lot of grappling competitions, too.
    1
  32. ​ @6AUG9 The "technique" of military martial arts is literally running at a bag and hitting it with your rifle. Militaries know very little about hand to hand combat, because they don't need to. Their weapons are artillery and rockets. Police forces could profit from wrestling and bjj knowledge, but they typically don't teach that either and just akwardly overpower resistant ppl with strength of numbers. The experts in fighting have always been athletes.

  33. That's some new excuses.

  34. The average female blue belt would kill you in a street fight. You don't have reactions, bcs you can't fight.
    1
  35. They don't. They use rifles.
    1
  36. Yep. I think it's 10% good gyms, 90% nonsense. Spoke to km guys that didn't understand sparring at all. I spoke about resistance and stuff and they thought I spoke about how much they got hurt or how much they got out of breath.
    1
  37. Imo grappling is more important for women, bcs a rapist needs to engage in grappling for his goals. So bjj or wrestling (or catch wrestling or sambo).
    1
  38. The rules protect the tacticool military dork, not the combat sports athlete. If you think I can't eye gouge you bcs that's not part of kickboxing or grappling, you're delusional.
    1
  39. Knife "defense" is already problematic in the name. Has anyone ever gotten good at dodging and blocking without getting good at striking? Gotten good at stuffing a takedown, but not at shooting for one. Ppl should practice knife fighting, offense and defense.

  40. ​ @Kagemusha08 The opportunity cost to constantly scan your environment for snipers, rather than getting shit done on your phone is gigantic.
    1
  41. It's not. Unless you actually practice that. If you think you can stab a boxer in the eye bcs you have the plan to, you're delusional.

  42. ​ @nomad155 No. BJJ works, JJJ is pure nonsense. It's irrelevant what's in the curriculum. Also the Japanese didn't invent grappling. Grappling was a thing globally thousands of years prior to the invention of pyjamas or kimonos or katanas.
    1
  43. ​ @meesert It triggers me when weebs call groundfighting "newaza". The Japanese didn't invent grappling. But the Brazilians started the tradition that most effectively teaches grappling, they started the label under which you find the best instruction on groundfighting.
    1
  44. ​ @nieczerwony JJJ is weebs pretending to be samurai, yall can't fight at all. And a blue belt of today would totally dominate any historical samurai in unarmed combat. The military was NEVER the place to find the best fighters or instruction on fighting. That was ALWAYS athletes. An ancient pancration athlete would beat the shit out of any Spartan or Samurai or Viking, etc
    1
  45. ​ @hailhydreigon2700 That's total nonsense. The best instruction on grappling today is bjj, not catch. Why are catch wrestlers never winning adcc, in spite of the rules being much, much closer to how catch is typically practiced. In bjj there is still the gi, most ppl don't do much standup, no slams, etc. And STILL bjj practitioners beat catch wrestlers. Apart from that, there's no real difference. Any proper gym simply teaches what works. Grappling is grappling.
    1
  46. ​ @colinbradfield72 That's extremely cringe even for systema. Your JJJ instructor is way worse than the typical JJJ instruction, which is already nonsense. Every single blue belt on the planet could end you easily and none of your silly tricks would work at all.
    1
  47. ​ @Robert-rl7rd When you call groundfighting newaza, you're a weeb that can't fight. ADCC competitions all start standing. And judokas NEVER win. Not even remotely close.
    1
  48. ​@arthemas8176Where's the "kosen" Judo guys winning grappling competitions or mma belts? It doesn't matter what's in your curriculum. What matters is results. BJJ instruction results in capable fighters.
    1
  49. ​ @laurentprzybylski3401 A modern blue belt would totally dominate every single samurai or Japanese WW2 soldier. It wouldn't even be remotely close. You are totally clueless about real fighting, that's why you fall for the marketing trick of pretending that the military are the experts of unarmed combat. No, krav maga dorks and JJJ weebs are lost in fantasies.

  50. ​ @brucehuddler7518 Krav Maga and Kung Fu are 90% bullshit and 10% mediocre kickboxing. Your comments tell me that you're in the 90%.

  51. ​ @FireinTheBowl A BJJ practitioner vs a Krav Maga dork wouldn't be a fair fight.
    1
  52. ​ @davidg.5891 I'd bet my money on a fat, unathletic guy one year into boxing or bjj over an athletic, strong self defense dork.
    1
  53. ​ @carsondwayne BJJ competitions all start standing. Most gyms don't emphasize takedowns, but taking down a non-grappler is still the easiest thing in the universe. To think you could resist going down against a bjj practitioner is a bit thinking a boxer couldn't hammer fist you bcs he specializes in straight punches.
