Martial arts MYTHS❌ #shorts

[Black-zris]

Muscles can help you win a fight, BUT ONLY MUSCLE can't guarantee you victory.

[gittattle]

The real truth is that street fighters always win because their crab stance is too intimidating for mere mortals

[Odaroka]

My Muay Thai Sensei alway says, ” Long muscles will always beat short muscles.” Btw, we never use weights, just body weight

[marcustsang]

not all asians can be born with an automatic karate fighting mode

An update I am asian and I now realise I do have this and I deflected my brother's punch without looking

I hate when people say that someone who is not jacked can't fight, there are guys who are smaller than me that can put to sleep guys far way bigger than them. I always say in my italian dialect: "Più è grosso, più chioppa mejo"; which can be traslated like "The bigger he is, the better he falls", meaning that technique is far way more important than muscles outside a competitive situation.

Finally I hear this from someone actually mature! A ton of people say “you’re so fake, you can’t fight” only because I’m not jacked. I even asked them “what makes you think I can’t fight”, they’re response is because I ain’t that big- good to know someone like you understands that isn’t true

[e.g]

in the karate dojo i practice there's a tiny old man that can pack a punch like a bull. caught me by surprise and show me that skill and experience matters

[Breno]

When it comes to martial arts, muscles can't be missing or left over, they need to be precise according to what you practice. Balance is the key.

[jovaughnlaing]

I do boxing and when I work ppl come to me with there foolishness because I'm short and slim, Always saying if I want to persue boxing I should "at least put on a few pounds of muscle" all I can do is look at them and laugh. If only they knew I spar pro fighters on a wim with enough skill to survive the rounds, it doesn't count though I'm too small.

"Lower grade can't beat you is wrong"
Yeah, just kick the higher grade guy in the ball then hit them in the face, that's simple

[yousefahmad]

Can you talk about kicks in a street fight? I know they seem impractical but most people wouldn’t exactly expect a sidekick to the jaw in my opinion

[thehellhoundhd]

It's true. My grandma was able to knockout a big guy with muscle.

[patrickrichard]

Technique is merely an intelligent use of your strength (or muscle), not a substitution for a lack of strength. Weight, size and strength matter a great deal, but I’m betting on the 60kg athletic black belt over a 120kg fat dobber any day of the weak!

[Moosic_Panda]

As a former martial artist and street fighter, I can say the so called "myths" are true to a extent, it's all depends on experience and training really

Now I have seen my far share of muscle heads get destroyed, but I have seen some (despite the disadvantages) actually beat some pretty skilled fighters

Yes, trained fights do have a advantage over SOME street fighters. This is one of those things where it's about experience, because most of if not all martial arts "self defense" training are inaccurate or over exaggerated. I have seen trained fighters with no street fighting experience get destroyed, but those with some street fighting experience actually do really well and hold there own

And the lower grade one is just situational to be honest 😂

[SubsonicFoil]

Okay but big muscles will definitely hurt

[flumfybud]

if a martial artist starts going by street fighter rules.... you're fucked

Nat is the cutest martial artist

[clashoclan]

First is so true, how hard you punch depends on genetics, some people have better fast twitch muscle fibre for explosive power.

Being Ronnie Coleman or Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn't mean you can hit harder than Mike Tyson, sure your punches hurt but Mike Tyson could knock out people who were blocking.

[AnaLu]

Specially If you are a woman, people really underestimate you. I know i have disadvantages because of my biology and my height (I'm 5'1), so i'm one of the hardest working students in my gym. I'm not saying i can beat everyone and that i am awsome, i have a LOT to learn and i need to get more muscle mass and i'll never be stronger than a man, but don't underestimate me, i am stronger than what i look like and i am not defenceless.

Rule 2: Street fighters always win because there are no rules.
