Cross train bjj and Muay Thai
Throw hands and fold people like origami

You can avoid 99.999 percent of bar fights by walking away though

Best way to avoid a bar fight is, stop drinking alcohol

You WILL get tangled up in a street fight or self defense, and the reason that Muay Thai clinch is so useful is bc all the sweeps/dumps/throws are designed to put the other guy on the ground while you stay standing. Judo and wrestling have moves like this but Muay Thai is hyper-specialized for it. Also all strikes except punches have the added benefit of being completely alien to untrained people and so they have zero idea how to defend or even know what they’re getting hit by, and Muay Thai gives you a lot of striking options.

Best martial art for self defense is Combat Sambo. Not only does it teach you how to fight standing and how to grapple, but it incorporates things that can happen in real fights such as headbutts, groin kicks, football punting somebody’s head while they’re on the ground. The problem is there are (from my research) less than 10 gyms in the United States that teach it. You’d have to live next to one of the few gyms or travel to Russia/Eastern Europe to be able to learn it.

Like Bruce Lee said, take from each discipline what works for you. I’m sure there are instances where any discipline would work

[Live-yb]

I’d say the best COMBO is Muay Thai & Judo

[martin]

Judo and muay Thai is a dangerous combination. I'm not a fan of BJJ in the real world

[xiMaarKo]

Muay thai with good footwork is the correct answer, bjj is for nerds and a competition setting with limited rules 😆.

[jamesrrr]

Basic wrestling, muay thai and sprinting 👌

[eduardo-cfiw]

The best martial arts is to run away and not fight

[seanking]

Judo and kick-boxing/boxing is a devastating combo in a street fight

You’ve got the stand up, and the judo throws and sweeps on solid ground is a killer… plus most of judo can be be done without you having to stay on the ground meaning you won’t get stomped out or put in as dangerous a position unlike with BJJ

[trawsoza]

Muay thai who also trains boxing so he has super good hands as well

[Roger]

There's a video of a drunk Muay Thai fighter knocking out like 5 dudes and killing one dude all by himself and completely wasted.

[kaliduncanel]

This guy talking about muay thai is willfully ignorant to the fact muay thai is like 80 percent clinching

[michaelsavarin]

I think the real problem with bjj is a lack of aggression. I think the average blue belt could break a guy's bone in less then 10 seconds. But but 99% of bjj players are exactly that, players. I've seen guys get into fights with the idea of not hurting the other guy and just controling him. Only for too much time to pass.Then they get blasted by a 3rd party or lose control on the guy they could have ended in seconds. Be more aggressive. Work on submissions that you can finish standing. Don't worry about controlling your opponent and only think about destroying them.

If it’s 1 on 1 that’s different, if it’s 1 vs multiple, just leave.

[pickleraspa]

What bars are these guys going to where brawls and battles are constantly breaking out? Maybe they’re the problem 😂

[greghoyt]

Correct. It doesn’t matter how good of a tangler (or fighter, in general) you are - you might have the “sacrificial lamb” of the group on the ground howling in pain; if you’ve got three other dudes above you… they’re understandably hearing their boy scream and you’re getting stomped the f*** out. Grapplers: learn to “dance”, even if just at a basic/intermediate level. Ground/takedown game is RIDONKUOUSLY useful - under the right conditions. Stay *ON* your feet if there’s any more than one potential opponent.

watched a guy in La Port Tx get a beer mug broken on his skull when he took some guy to the floor he got into it with over quarters stacked up for a pool game. people are crazy
