Jackie Chan was asked how he would react to someone threatening him with a weapon. He said he would run. Almost always the best option.
Man has a weapon, better run then fight
Kroos if he wants my wallet and phone and bag I would give it to him and run
Still making stuff up?
Try to out-run my bullets, muhahahaa...
Well, Martial arts were developed to protect you or maybe people around you. Fighting someone will only result in you being hurt no matter what, choosing to run away is a smart choice.
My friend a 6"4 boxer who had won multiple tourney's , and I a Tae Kwon Do practitioner with a black belt. Got into a street fight once. The opponents took out a knife. We both ran so far, and so fast, and got away. Proving, that our training had paid off.
Yeah, best block? No be there. First lesson; cardio. Human beings are tool users, unlike anime there is no strengthening your muscles until you can resist knives or bounce tire irons off your pecs
@@ClevrYogi No amount of training, even from childhood to now, will make you invulnerable to a 4 inch sharpened piece of flat metal.
Every hit to the skull is cumulative damage to your brain. There is no training against it. @@ClevrYogi
@@ClevrYogi if youre trying to tank getting shanked it just shows your brain is not as trained as your body.
My martial arts teacher is actually very reputable and extremely skilled... but refuses to teach us how to defend against a knife. He said if someone took out a knife against him, he would run, so we should too
I Studied Aikido for a little while as a kid. The thing that I realised later in life is that all the wristlocks and armlocks I was tought ended up being worthless for self defence. The thing that was unexpectedly valuable was how in Aikido you will spend the first 3 months of training just learning how to fall down and spring back up without sustaining any injury. 35 years later if I trip or fall I still instincively go into a roll and pop back up to my feet unharmed no matter what direction I might be falling. Aikido has saved my life repeatedly in the least badass way possible, lol. Aikido should translate to, "The art of avoiding hip replacement surgery".
Or the art of don’t getting hurt in any situation. Ipractice aikido since 2017, after 3 lessons I fell in the bath of the dojo and I broke 2 ribs (only when I recovered I learned how to fell). This monday I fell off the bike while I was running very fast (I think near 12-15 mph), I made an perfect ukemi no scars or bones broken. Also one time I get surrended thanks to Aikido I’ve learned How to evade from the strike line and so I run away as fast as I can (good for me I’ve practiced athletics for ten years). I think that if I’ve never practiced Aikido in these two case I would been very hurted (excuse me for the eventual grammatical error I’m italian with a very basic english formation)
I got the same from some judo I did as a kid. Can't remember any of the fighting stuff but knowing how to fall has saved me from hospital far too many times.
Not everyone who takes a few years of Piano lessons, is able to play perfectly under duress!
I trained aikido for a few years...then I trained aikijujutsu. Same techniques with different intent. Aikijujutsu does not "care" about the opponent. The techniques are done fast and hard, and are VERY effective. Most Aikido is flowery, watered down, large circle aikijujutsu, and very different from the original 1200 year old battle field art it descended from. It's all in how you train the techniques.
its cuz aikido has little to do with locks. This realization is the first step into aikido
when i started practicing taekwondo, one of the newbies asked the coach when we will learn how to defend against an armed opponent while barehanded, or how to fight a one vs many fight. the coach laughed a bit and said "you don't need me to teach anything since it's actually quite easy. all you need to do is run in the opposite direction as fast as you can"
Lot's of respect for Taekwondo. I was in a national competition in my first time coming up against Taekwondo and was shocked to find a foot planted in the back of my head while I was still looking at my opponent face to face!
My coach also said if it was a barehand you shouldnt be afraid but the moment a weapon is involved you gotta dip
@@KfcOwner yeah, once the opponent has a weapon, they win. the only way to even the odds is to have a weapon of your own, and use the inherent threat carrying a weapon brings to force your opponent to stand down. if you have no weapon, then they just need to rush you, and you will have no way of defending against it.
there was a video made by several professional fighters about this situation, using a red pen instead of a knife. and no matter how good they were, the assailant still ended up scoring several fatal wounds on all of them in 1v1 before they could subdue him or take away the weapon
@@houjisaifeddine5524
Your comment is wrong.
I know lots of people who could easily win against m even if I had a weapon and they were unarmed.
Those videos with the pro fighters you mentioned are a load of crap. Frankly if I tried to attack any of them with nothing more than a knife I would be defeated in seconds and the fighter would walk away unharmed every single time..
Frankly if I was ever attacked by someone who is used to being violent and I had a knife I would make no attempt to use it as a weapon because I know I have absolutely no chance at all - instead but would dispose of it
@@mrx2586 and that's the kind of comment that led a lot of people to their untimely deaths, that is made by a couch warrior who has never been in a fight and thinks they can pull off action film stunts irl.
actual professional MMA fighters, who compete on an international level, and who could easily beat both of us in seconds in a fight, still couldn't win a barehanded vs knife combat, even when the guy holding a knife wasn't a trained fighter.
all the knife fighter has to do is rush you and score a hit. that's how easy it is to take a life. you have to take control of the knife asap, which is near impossible against a resisting opponent who is intent on harming you, and who has nothing stopping them since the unarmed person has nothing to threaten them with.
even the MMA fighters in the experiment expresed how hard it was, and they all ended up taking several hits, including fatal ones, before they managed to fully subdue the assailant.
again, those are world class professional fighters who can kill a person with a single punch. an unarmed vs armed fight is unwinnable. don't bother arguing because it has been proven through actual experiments, not a thought exercice like you suggested
That guys false story literally just sounds like a mortal kombat characters backstory
True. It sounds like it even with the word "kumete" It almost sounds like mortal kombat.
i thought that too
Um, Mortal Kombat was essentially based on Bloodsport. So that bullshit story is MORTAL KOMBAT's backstory.
More like mortal Kombat copied his story. It was def bullshit but Frank dux tale was well b4 mortal Kombat was a thing
Johnny Cage is literally based on Frank Dux and Jean Claude van damme
I remember to have a good kung fo teacher when young. I would never forget the 3 steps to survive a figth.
1. Ignore the provocations.
2. If that fails, run
3. If hes faster than you fight until hes disoriented or uncontious enough for you to run again.
Spot on. Run, or make it possible to run.
there is a rule zero for that: be aware of escape routes.
have rule 2 planned in advance!
Hahaha love it😁😂😂🙂 very wise man😂
In these sorts of things, this is where Krav Maga excels, with rather lengthy teachings on situational awareness. Sometimes the best answer might not even be fight to run, as @Late to the Game pointed out. Rather, a whole slew of lessons after lessons on how to avoid situations, but also, when confronted, by the life that isn't fair, multiple attackers, different angles, weapons, etc, to simply be ready to finish the fight, in the quickest most efficient manner, even if that is lethal, and you won't be able to run from it.
Granted, this video was true that to properly master the Krav Maga techniques (which do work in principle), you would have to be willing hundreds of people in practice to truly get the instincts down to a brutal level of efficiency and counters. So in that, yeah, maybe the other MMAs might be good to train you to actually fight. But take the real world practice of extra dangers and situational thinking at least from Krav, I think it does wonders the others don't properly address as well. So, making that a Mixed Martial Art as you will :)

"Does it consistently perform against a completely uncooperative, fully-resisting, aggressive opponent?"
I really like these criteria.
But its BS, at least the "consistently" part.
@@sword-and-shield you can't just call something BS, you have to explain why
i hope your martial arts are better than your debating skills
@@MrShysterme Explain! If you are some newb or don't fight, than you may need an explanation. Which would then be "start fighting" and you will lean the explanation.
NOTHING preforms "consistently" against a completely uncooperative, fully-resisting, aggressive opponent. That is why its BS. I got my life of street fighting and 10 yrs of bouncing rank bars when younger for the proof, regardless of anyone's spewage.
@@sword-and-shield Dude, you're just making it worse. You make a claim without any support. I point this out. And now you've turned into I need to explain why I think your claim was not supported. I did not state that I agree with the original comment, therefore I do not have to defend it in order to point out that you did not support your point.
The way to address my concern is to actually support your original assertion.
This is just basic burden of proof stuff that they should teach in high schools if they were interested in anything but drones.
@@MrShysterme Dude, I didn't make no claim. I stated a fact, maybe you go and re read those simple words in my first post. They mean exactly what the definitions are. Worse, then you were answered in my second post, if it wasn't to your liking, I could care less, it was answered with simple fact. You want PROOF, get busy kid, years of real street fighting is the only thing giving that.
Years ago my Taekwondo sensei, told me: "Don't rely on these moves in a fight. These 'techniques' is you training your muscles to be flexible and strong. In a real fight- you make up Your Own Techniques to win or survive".
True, I may not be an Taekwondo practitioner, but I did have 2 classmates who were, and let me tell you, their flashy and cool looking spinning kicks weren't gonna be effective in a fight, instead it was how thick and sturdy and strong their legs were. I guess martial arts especially eastern martial arts aren't so bad after all....In fooling and motivating you to train your body. Thinking you'll be some sort of Martial God when in reality you're gonna just rely on your fists, weapons, the Authorities or run away.
No, you don't make up your own, as much as you take from and build a personal skill set around your strengths from experience, IF you live long enough.
Reminds me a guy I know. He said that his martial arts allows him to disarm anyone and anytime.
I was given a loaded nerf gun. After me shooting him between the eyes with a nerf dart 4 times he lost his temper and yelled “You’re not doing it right!!”
I did that lol. My buddy was like "I don't even care if you move, I'll still get it away". So I pointed it, dropped and rolled onto my back, put a foot in his gut to keep him away and just dumped the magazine into him. He was mad
No you
@no name if the person with the gun is willing to pull the trigger
no name kickback beats gun 50% of the Time
That reminds me of a scene on Andy Griffith when Barney was practicing Judo.
He who runs away, lives to run another day.
@Jolly Infidel it means you weren't able to run away so you don't get to live another day
@Jolly Infidel true actually, I didn't think of that. Tbf I don't think too often
Im pretty sure rustman from black ops 2 zombies says this
Rincewind's Art of Self-Defence
LOL
After competing in a number of traditional martial arts competitions the main thing I found was that once fighting actually began nearly all of them looked the same. Gone were all the fancy movie type moves. The only movements that worked had to require little motion and able to be executed quickly. Probably the most important part was actually the footwork, primarily being able to sidestep lunges and aggressive forward closing steps.
This is why I always recommend people do boxing and judo. Footwork and learning how to leverage a larger opponent can save you a serious injury since we almost always swing fists and grapple in street fights.
best kind of footwork is running away
fully agree. In my dojo where I practiced karate, we were also taught aiki-jujutsu techniques and did a lot of combat type training, to keep the focus. I think of traditional karate as a textbook: many moves your body learns and may produce quickly if needed, but a real fight will not look like a kata.
@@ZeroFanfare What do you think self defence actually is? Situational awareness and learning how to read body language is a crucial part of training those sports. Judo teaches you good centre of gravity as well as leverage and pairs well with boxing. Deescelation is great, avoiding the fight is great, but what if you can't?
@@ZeroFanfare Both spar often and apply practically to the real world situations most people find themselves in needing to fight.
My sensei had 3 different classes, the children’s classes, the “adults classes”, and the real classes that took place later and usually on Saturdays. He always told us ALWAYS, before he taught the lessons, he’d get the smallest person and give them the rubber knife and say “here’s the BEST thing to I do.” Before immediately just dropping his wallet, your life is not worth whatever is in that wallet
And that's the difference between self-defense and fighting! While fighting is one tool for self-defense, it's down the list. Running, using various tricks to avoid a bad situation, or give the assailant your money (if that is what they want) to avoid a fight is always a better option than fighting.
Yup, in that sort of situation, the only other reasonable option is to run, and that's only if you know for sure you're faster than the person with the knife. And even then, unless you're an Olympic sprinter, you probably can't run fast enough to get to safety with the initial surprise of you suddenly turning-tail and running before they throw the knife at you or something.
Wow wish my sensei was that lol. Mine told me I was a failure because I had to quit for college
American dad said it best. “First rule of karate. Guns beat karate every time”
Unless they start catching bullets, which only happens in 2D
Or like just kill the opponent it’s that easy
Ya know it, you can't get punched if you're 1.5 miles away laying there with a sniper rifle
Keyboard warriors can destroy you from their couch.
Unless you're to close or slow.
My sensei taught me a style literally so deadly I accidentally killed him upon my first lesson, he had called it gun fu.
Have you heard of the version of Gun Fu called Shick Shack Boom?
There was actually a movie based on your sensei's style call Equilibrium staring Christian Bale.
who was he kiano reeves
john wick
bullets of anything less than an ar-15 will not kill me. anything less than that will just piss me off. I can take a 9mm or .22 to the forehead/ face and survive it easy, i'll prove it to anybody, just give me some gold for the ordeal of pain and a few xanax and a mid strength beer to remain calm and focused and not give fuks
I once won a fight without out touching the person that was trying to punch me. However I did so dodging my way in front of a brick wall. He only swung two more times after that. Apparently punching a brick wall with a broken fist hurts very bad.
Ow
Never judge a fight from the mutts you face, you wont always get lucky.
I have a type of "flak jacket" with nails that looks like a porcupine skin, and I wear it under my regular clothes, just in case I get into a fight.
With this trick, no matter how big or trained the opponent is, once his fist hits the nails, the fight is over.
With this trick I can win even to a heavy weight mma champion. 🤣
I have a no-touch technique that is quite deadly which I've been studying for a few years which involves the combustion of a material which produces gases that are directed down a narrow, confined channel in which a small object is placed. As the object is propelled forward by the rapidly expanding gases, grooves in the channel cause the object to spin, which allows the object to move forward along a trajectory with high accuracy and speed.
Then what?
@@danroberts9050 Then the bullet kills whoever it hits. But it is no touch lol.
Gun-fu
That guy's story falls apart when he goes AWOL, wins the tournament, and just goes back to the army like nothing happened with no consequences.
not only not happens, he goes to work with CIA as if the intelligence agency would work easily with an AWOL guy that could have betrayed the country
Well, he did go from Marines to Army, and the Army has always had lower standards for basic enlistment. Don't get mad at me, soldiers, I was Army.
@@ChrisNeilMusic nah nah you right
But his going awol, and going to the kumite, was a Cia operation. So he would have been protected.
Hahahaha
@@geetee2694 No, that would've been unauthorized, so he had to get a discharge from the Marines, get the proper reenlistment code on his DD-214, switch to Army, then go CIA. This guy is clearly a badass. I knew SF guys, and they couldn't just work with CIA. In fact, most hated CIA, so you know this guy obviously was legit because, you know, karate. And reasons.

An Aikido master and friend of mine once taught me that the best defence against robbery was always carrying _some_ money, not a large amount but something meaningful enough to make the assaulter think for a moment and give you an opportunity to run away
The idea is founded on two main principles:
1st - resisting is more dangerous than running
2nd - most assaulters will attack in frustration if given _nothing,_ and carrying a meaningful yet not massive lump of cash can be way cheaper than replacing a phone, a broken leg or a gunshot.. nevermind said gunshot hitting a loved one
Sounds like great advice. You have a single life, don't gamble it away
I go to krav maga and my trainers always say run away if possible
1. don't be there
2. don't escalate
3. Deescalate
Mine said de escalate. Use dirty tricks. Learn first aids.Use anything to hide or attack. Remember it's life and death. Better run,hide or use dirty tricks to survive. If You get injured use the first aids. If the other guy is a Nice guy honorable. Then fight honorable accept your defeat.
this is the dumbest advice ever. in real life running has a 20 percent chance of working. carry a pistol and shoot first. sometimes youre slowr, sometimes youll tire first, sometimes you have a DUTY to hold your ground. "just run" is an idiotic platitude that only people who have no combat experience repeat
I asked my father how to fight. All he said was "fight dirty". I asked if that was unfair. He said there is nothing unfair about doing whatever it takes to save your own life. Run if you can. If you are attacked, fight dirty. There are no rules, there is no "honour". Surviving is all that matters.
Exactly, My dad always told me to run becuase "if the other guy has a gun, you're dead."
This is also why I think jujitsu, Wrestling, MMA ect are also as fake as any other. In real fights there is no judge, no ref, no paramedics, no rule and a lot of times weapons.
Kahbib is no match for a handgun, Silva could'nt win against 5 guys let alone 5 guys with knives.

@@genmaicha.lapsang At least if you have basic knowledge of self defense your chances of survival are higher, so knowing a certain fighting style aint bad at all.
@@Masamune364
It's not bad at all. When I say "fake" in this context I don't mean useless. What I mean is that after 1000 years of explosive poweder weapons and 200,000 years of knives, swords, clubs ect that hand to hand combat doesn't really have a purpose beyoned sports or art.
Your best chance for survival in any stiutation is run, or give the the theves what they want.
Like i said the guyin the link was maybe 2cm from dying.
I remember a comedian describing Scottish martial arts: "It mostly consists of headbutting and kicking someone when they're down" lol
Mike Myers, in So I Married an Axe Murderer. I always loved that line. Coming from a Scottish Canadian background myself, I can assure you it's accurate.
I think its called " F#ck yu!"
If nobody has guns, you knock them out. If you both have guns, hope that you can shoot the other guy first.
@@daverobson3084 when I first read your comment I read it with a perfect Sco’ish accent lol it sounded exactly like what some of my sco’ish friends sound like.
Being Scottish I can attest to this
My Karate Teacher literally said if we would ever be attacked we should run and only if we couldnt run away we should fight, but not even with the techniques he taught us, but with your bag, phone or keys, anything. If we dont have anything like that we should try the techniques. But I didnt go to karate to learn something like that. I went to karate to get physically and mentally stronger. I went there for about ten years now and i didnt gain any crazy muscles buuut I can strech, run, fight, analyse situations, better than anyone in my school, and I of all my classmates actually know how a fight would be in real life. Also its just nice to do something with your friends after school or just to let of some steam and beat the sh*t out of somebody.
That’s odd because martial artist definitely work.
It’s just knowing how to fight. Boxing is martial arts. Muay Thai. Karate. Wing Chun. All got useful applications

I watched a street fight way back in 8th grade where one guy was obviously very well trained in MA and the other was just a big bully. I thought the trained guy was going to win until the other guy just tackled him and proceeded to beat the trained guy. It was the longest fight I've ever watched. I still give the trained guy respect though. He stood up for himself and lost honorably.
He wasn’t trained well then.
I mean dude, someone knowing martial arts will absolutely beat someone who doesn’t know.
Martial arts is just knowing how to fight. I think you misunderstood the video
@@lightup6751 yeah I'm certain he continued his training... We were only in the eighth grade.
parkour is the martial art of running away.
That was funny. Parkour is awesome though.
The old joestar technique of running away
@@p3el_ finally a Jojo reference
As someone who has actively used this to escape a gang fight (me just being random bystander who got cornered), yes parkour is a lifesaver. Would trust it any day over even the most potent combination of mma. After all, all forms of properly trained martial arts only let you spar versus one opponent at a time, in a fair fight. In reality, you almost never find yourself in a fair fight, nor against just a single opponent.
This is no time for a jojo reference

I'm sure it's decent exercise.
There is actually no big difference to dancing.
@Mr BuzzKill look up video's of trained fighters beating the shit out of body builders it is quite easy to find a lot of great examples where this isn't true
I studied with Wutan International for about 10 years and we did everything from Tai Chi and a variety of "Kung Fu" styles as well as Chinese kickboxing and ground fighting. After watching this video, I now realise we were actually doing MMA.

The inefficiency of traditional martial arts is why Bruce Lee developed his martial art of Jeet Kune Do, which was an attempt to combine the traditional techniques with modern techniques and realistic considerations in order to arrive at something that actually worked.
Did it work.
@@WallNutBreaker524 it is literally completely middle of the line and isn't great or horrible
I remember reading a book by Bruce Lee on self defense.... where he mentioned "If I want to kick a man in the face, I will make sure to throw him on the ground before the kick"
His point was... high and flashy kicks were mainly for movies... but oftentimes just sacrificed your balance... and footing.
It's worth pointing out that Bruce Lee got a very quick and useful education on the set of one of his movies. "Judo" Gene LeBell was an absolute master of judo and at the time was working as a stunt and fight coordinator on movies, and was employed on the set of one of Bruce Lee's movies. Lee and LeBell got into a spat over something that Lee wanted done but LeBelle vetoed for some reason or another and the spat turned into a physical challenge. LeBell destroyed Lee in about fifteen seconds, choking him unconscious. Which is not a mystery as a choke-out is a legit way to win a match in judo and believe me, a good judoka can put you to sleep in ten seconds or less. It's pretty frightening the first few times it happens but it's extremely effective and one reason judo is so useful in real-world fighting unlike most martial arts which are useless garbage.
Anyway, Lee was extremely impressed with what LeBell did to him and from that point on he incorporated extensive grappling into his own personal fighting style. He even immortalized the event by using that exact same choke on one of the villains in the movie as a tribute to LeBell. Bruce Lee was all about what was practical. In that sense he could be considered a pioneer of comprehensive MMA fighting. He's one of the few star martial artists in history that was the real thing and could use his skills effectively in genuine combat.
Someone asked him once how many boards he could break with a punch. Lee replied "Boards don't punch back." His way of saying how useless board-breaking is if you truly want to be able to defend yourself.
Correct. When I was involved I preferred to use my hands, throws. and low kicks. Flash is just that. But its usually not very practicle
Bruce lee was a charlatan like Joseph Smith
@@justiceforall6412 if you are a boxer yes, if you practiced any body contact sport which involves high kicks and use them comfortably, to stop the force delivered by that kind of kick to the head you have to be wearing a fucking motorbike helmet
@@justiceforall6412 plus kicks have an insane range, double that of punches, and they are lateral blows, much harder to stop or dodge or even to react
If your “master” or “sensei” says his art is too deadly to be used in a competition, you’re in a McDojo.
That depends. Some styles simply aren't meant for competition while others are actually "designed" with competetive regulated sport in mind. But basically you're right - if that statement is actually used, thats likely bullshit.
@@dcjxd i.e. the military styles he was talking about. Chances are if you rip out a mma fighter eye you'll go on to win the fight, but not the court charges.
@@dcjxd just to tack this on. It's very very unlikely any style like that survived without being in military use. Pretty much every old martial art had moves that aimed to maim or kill, but once martial arts became an exhibition/competition/"self defense" most were removed from even practice, much less use.
It's why submission arts and sporting arts stayed affective enough, while martial arts faded, the original style wasn't meant to just beat an opponent, and when you remove those fangs it becomes a half-assed shell of what it once was.
Hell look at kendo. It'll get your ass kicked against anyone who has a weapon and half the people that don't, and meanwhile it was something soldiers once used to defend their lives with before it got turned into a sport(name also changed for this one tho).
The old-school martial arts were once meant to give you a fighting chance at survival against armed opponents after you lost your weapons, they typically didnt have a lot of rules to follow
@@Syllaren Exactly. I train Bujinkan Ninjutsu, and my trainer is, luckily, rather progressive. We acknowledge the very stylized Kata as a form of art and oral tradition, but they are not meant for actual fighting. And even though we have a repertoire of potentially lethal techniques derived from traditional warfare and personal protection duties, the basic rule is still: Run, if you can. Nobody is fighting for a shogun anymore and disarming an opponent with a knive may be possible for a seasoned fighter, the risk is realistically too high to get hurt. Anyone stating otherwise is a show off trying to get quick money by selling off worthless black belts for a cheap ego rush.
zeezhz everybody knows you disarm knives and guns by doing a jumping crescent kick with vocalization.
My old man signed us up for karate when I was a young kid so we'd have something to do together. I barely remember it, but it was some okinawan style. The guy did the typical karate stuff but the main focus was how to fall down without getting hurt, getting out of grabs, tripping your opponent, and just in general avoiding getting grabbed and making space between your enemy and you. I think that's why dad chose that particular strip mall dojo. The guy didn't advertise he'd teach you how to stop bullets or take down 10 people, his style was all about getting away from an attacker and your basic kicks and punches if you couldn't.
You sure that wasn't judo? Because it sure sounds like judo.
@@user-sw2nh4ll7h it does, but then kickes and punches are not part of standard judo, maybe jiujitsu

@@notrolling-er1wq Well I was like 10 and the guy didn't advertise that you'd be some grandmaster able to mind blast people like the video showed. I'm an adult now. I carry a gun. Not sure where you got that I was advising anyone, I was pointing out my own experience with strip mall karate and that how it differed to the crap in the video.
I remember when I took some martial arts classes when I was in junior high school, it was drilled into us that using them to actually defend ourselves was always a last resort, after evasion was deemed impossible or impractical. The fact that weapons are both extremely common and so dramatically sway the odds in and consequences of a fight were also lessons heavily expounded on.
I used my skills to deal with bullies that kept instigating fights, and eventually they stopped coming after I stopped losing, and I haven't had to truly fight since...the closest I ever got was scrapping with my bro over something I can't even remember, and when we fought each other we fought honorably and avoided causing true injury, so I knew there was no danger and I didn't have to fight 'dirty'.
this is the dumbest advice ever. in real life running has a 20 percent chance of working. carry a pistol and shoot first. sometimes youre slowr, sometimes youll tire first, sometimes you have a DUTY to hold your ground. "just run" is an idiotic platitude that only people who have no combat experience repeat.
@@notrolling-er1wq If you HAPPEN to have a gun on you, live in an area where carrying one is legal, and can trust your justice system to uphold self defense, then sure: fire away. Otherwise, evasion is preferable to confrontation unless you have a DAMN GOOD REASON to stand your ground such as protecting someone more vulnerable, especially against armed or potentially armed opponents, just like animals in nature avoid avoidable battles or confrontations that have an unacceptable risk of injury/death and generally fight only when given no viable alternatives. By running, you increase their risk of discovery and your own chances of recieving aid, as well as potentially escaping outright. Trying to fight an assailent on their terms, at the location of their choosing is almost certainly the WORST set of circumstances available, and potentially opens up new and exciting options like 'kidnapping'. And if they have a gun, you're fucked regardless, *especially* if you fight.
So following your advice you will end up hurt or dead in very short order, assuming you actually expirience danger semi-regularly and don't live in a gated community or other such 'protected' space.
Your critisism screams of extreme ignorance and/or privilege, you provided no evidence for the statistic you pulled from nowhere, and you endorse (in my opinion) a truly moronic idea that, were it shared broadly would lead to many stupid avoidable injuries and/or deaths. Also, remember the classes were taken as a teenager, in other words, a minor. No one is going to give a minor a gun, nor are they likely to hold a duty to fight. Your ideas fail on TWO counts.

“Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.”
― Bruce Lee
MMA in a nutshell, if usefulness is beating the crap out of the other guy
Meh Meh Bruce lee basically started mma
That's why I practice Jeet Kune Do free flowing movements with any style you want to adapt any situation
He'd been proving how useless many martial arts are and have beaten up supposed masters without a problem. He's basically said, the best martial arts is the one you fight in the streets with.
The irony being that this quote is so overused that people forget the last part.
Oh and stop attributing this quote to Bruce Lee. As a JKD instructor, at least a legit one, we don't like it that much. It was Sun Tzu who said it, Bruce Lee adapted this principle to his training and then, the marketing people attributed it to him.
A friend of mine studied martial arts from a young age hoping that someone would attack him so that he could try it out in the street. Well, his chance came in an attempted mugging in the streets of Kampala. After fending of two of the trio of attackers he was stabbed by the third with a hidden blade and barely managed to escape alive. Needless to say it is good to know how to defend oneself but avoid conflict because fights are unpredictable.
Let's say that fighting even 2 trained and motivated opponents is a huge challenge. If even one of them is armed with a knife then it is almost impossible to win.
@@dmitriikurilov3662 the issue is it is impossible to know whether someone is armed especially on the street. Running away or de-escalating confrontations is always the safest bet. The problem is most martial arts teachers brag about the impregnability of their styles(to gain more students) and mislead their students into believing that they can win against guns, knives and multiple opponents.
@@kabohakevin4103 You are very true.
The real conflict situation is much more complicated than just the kicking and boxing part:
- How can you be sure that this little scrawny shit is not going to draw a knife and stab you in your liver when you are occupied boxing the ears of his mate?
- How far are you going to go in this fight? Are you ready to break the temple bone of the guy, make him a cripple, get yourself into a jail for years and even after release pay for the crippled guy's support?
Well sht, if he fended off 2 out of 3 attackers martial arts definitely worked. His attitude was wrong but that's no small feat.
As they say, in a knife fight the loser dies on the street, the winner dies in the ambulance
Can’t forget the submission artists that have some signature hold that relies on catching your opponent being in a one-armed handstand at 2pm in the spring time.
Training for all forms of combat in the Western world are about, in my opinion, instilling self-confidence. Anyone who attacks you without any consideration of his self-interest will almost always do more damage to you.
Or instead of training, just try crystal meth
I remember an article in Mad Magazine that promoted a martial arts move called ghun. Pronounced as "gun." It was purported to be effective at long ranges when used by a skilled practitioner.

“For his neutral special, he wields the ghun style”

The problem with martial arts is that they are predicated on the assumption that the human body is itself a weapon.
It's important to remember that the vast majority of martial arts are, ultimately, sports. They've developed rules over the century to isolate them from other styles and specifically limit or ban lethal or maiming moves. Even the ones that haven't were almost all developed in an age where pikes and swords were the standard weapons they might be used against, or used with.
Finally some sense. Its like expecting someone who does fencing to fight with a sword like that in an actual battle.
Someone’s probably already pointed this out but I think it’s important to mention that Sumo is not meant to be used in self defense and no one would claim so. Sumo is not simply an art that can be taught. Sumo is a sport that kids start training for from a young age in order to compete later in life.
Sumo is LITERALLY a way of life in Japan.
Indeed, still don't pick a fist fight with one. It might not be made for self defense but they ain't no pushovers.
Another thing someone also probably mentioned is that capoeira wasnt made for fighting it was to be able to fight, since in brazilian prisons you werent allowed to fight so they acted like they were dancing
Yeah but this is the internet, where people are only interested in being able to judge other people based on the most shallow understanding of the topic. In other comments people are trying to say there is no effective Chinese martial art despite China being a military power for literally thousands of years.
@@cautemoc4624 I think that’s because people only think of martial arts as hand-to-hand combat, usually from Asia.
This isn’t the case, martial arts encompasses all forms of combat. Learning how to fight in CQC with firearms is a martial art. As is learning how to fight with a sword, bow, spear, and so on. So is learning to fight as part of a unit, be it with firearms or with spears. Jousting is a historical European martial art, so are archery, fencing, and wrestling. It’s not just Kung Fu and Karate, you’re right.
Also, never trust a martial arts "master" who uses the title "Master." 99 times out of 100, they'll be fake.
Everyone fears the mere touch of Master Bater
Master ken is the exception to this rule
Master splinter, oogway and wu are some of the very few exceptions to the rule

-Oro to Akuma in Street Fighter III: Third Strike
Unless they're called Ip Man
I think it is extremely important to manage one's expectations. If you believe a martial art should be just about self-defense, you will be terribly disappointed by most of them. They are sports, ways of developing character, discipline, body fitness, and things in which people of the same training background can compete in. They are, effectively, what they are called - arts. And arts were never about being 100% practical in the cynical, real day-to-day world. If you want to learn to fight (not perform/compete), a martial art can help you a lot, but it won't do all the lifting by itself. It was probably never meant to in the first place.

I agree but the decision to run is not always an easy one to make. For example, if you run and can't outrun your opponent(s), or find shelter from them/him then you may end up expending the energy needed to fight him/them.
@@taylorhall9509 In my opinion the overwhelming majority of street fights are avoidable in the first place. It is rare when someone has absolutely no choice but to fight someone else.
@@hanoc101 you have to take calculated risks. It's just like we are told when learning self defense to use our environment to our advantage. So yes of course running in some case may not be the best option. But it should be your first thought before having to stand your ground. I grew up taking tkd and I have never once had to use it and I'm a female. My brother has never had to use it either. My dad on the other had is 3rd degree black belt and has had to use some form of self defense on at least two circumstances in the last 10-15 years. In both cases he was able to avoid an all out fight by knowing how to subdue someone who was trying to harm him... and his line of work at the time was working at a cable company. Martial arts does work with years and years of training and repetition. But the majority will never have to utilize it. Or in a worse case scenario with a gun involved will never truly have a chance
Sumo wrestling is not meant to be used for combat. So of course if you only used sumo techniques, you would lose. Also, any sport is inherently going to remove the effective IRL use because they strictly prohibit dangerous and deadly moves, so you never learn to effectively use them.
I feel very lucky in that, while my first martial arts experience was judo; which was explicitly treated as a sport: my first self defense / fighting style was Zen Do Kai.
The term "Zen Do Kai" roughly translates to: "the best of everything, in progression".
Literally; the entire point of that form of martial art is to find the most effective moves, and then develop them further.
If it doesn't work: get rid of it.
It it does work: find out what makes it work, and then focus on that.
Yeah, we did some traditional kata found in karate styles such as Shotokan or Go Kan Ryu,
We took traditional aspects of Muay Thai and Ram Muay.
There were fundamental forms taken from Escrima and Ju-Jitsu.
But only the stuff that worked.
If it's decorative: yeah we might learn it because it looks cool.
But it's explicitly taught as a performative technique.
The main self defense strategy we taught was:
Deescalate.
If you cant deescalate: run away.
If you can't run away: here's some techniques that might save you life.
And through it all, the most effective, practical and lethal thing you learned in all that time was judo. Whatever "zen do kai" is, it's (at best) just martial theory in the vein of Jeet Kune Do/Vale Tudo/MMA with about 20% extra bullshit layered on top. It's a fact: sport fighters kick the absolute shit out of all others, no matter how "brutal" or "efficient" or "designed to assassinate" the other guy's MA might be, and it all comes down to experience. Full-contact competition is close enough to real fighting that every "player" of these sports is basically a guy who has survived literally hundreds of all-out fights with all the knowledge and nuance one gains from such a thing. You could train krav maga for 30 years and be a Navy SEAL capable of turning on the killer instinct like water from a tap, but unless you spent those thirty years as a commando killing people at kissing distance with your bare hands, even an average competitive judoka is gonna make your brutally efficient ass look like a clown in hand-to-hand combat.

I'm pretty sure that if someone opened a dojo in which they would teach people "Superman" or "Captain America" techniques, including flying and supernatural speed, there would be people applying for these courses.

@@Scribe13013 you will always be a mistake.
As a red belt Taekwon-Do, I fully agree that traditional eastern martial arts grow in a tank, being tested only against themselves in controlled environments, and that leads to dangerous results and overconfidence. Taekwon-Do is useless in real combat scenario, self defense or otherwise. What Taekwon-Do is good at is giving you some tools. Allows you to develop speed, flexibility and awareness of your range and momentum. Those things by themselves are useless. But the more tools you attain, and the more you practice them in realistic scenarios, the more likely you are to apply the correct one, and apply it correctly, when the real world calls for it. In that sense, learning Taekwon-Do is very helpful. As long as you don't learn only Taekwon-Do.
@@ZeroFanfare Dude you do blindfolded speed runs. You aren't a competent fighter. You're a basement dweller lmao.
I've never understood this desire of people to single out Taekwon-Do especially for disparagement. I learned only Taekwon-Do in my teens and made it to 2nd degree black belt. In high school and college, that training won me 3 fights. The first started with me on the ground after a sneak attack and ended after I nearly broke the guy's knee. The second, a 2v1 lasted only until the teachers showed up, but the 2 guys had a few bruises and had never touched me. Finally, the third was a straight-up brawl that was over in a minute after I blocked a few punches and winded the dude with a kick to the stomach. So there's 3 real self-defense combat scenarios where Taekwon-Do by itself proved entirely useful.
Maybe it's a matter of teaching. My instructor emphasized individual attacks over forms(katas) and devoted a quarter of the lesson time to spars, where he purposefully unbalanced the matches, like 2v1, matching students with different builds or reflexes, or giving one of us a practice knife. And he always stated the goal was never to beat the other guy into the dirt, but to create a long enough opening to escape. So, I guess we spent a good portion of time on those "realistic scenarios" you mention and it sounds like that isn't a common thing.
Dude I was literally thinking "so this guy lived Bloodsport?!" At the beginning 😂😂

Throughout martial arts career I was taught how to avoid conflict. Like non threatening behaviour towards an aggressor, being aware of surroundings, and how important it was to have a clear mind (not drunk). We were also trained on strength, speed, agility and wits. This was to give us an advantage to MOST people. But we were always told... There will always be someone bigger, stronger, faster and better.

@@Aladinscave Not something that seems for granted to have or be taught anywhere in the first place.
The fact that martial arts are bull shit was something I realized when our karate dojo was challenged by the boxing school sharing the same building. And ALL games were won by the boxers and in most cases the boxers didn’t even kick (let alone if they were kick boxers).
I never realized until then how hard even amateur boxers punch. Straight through our defenses. And when you kick and don’t hit the hard enough (which usually js the case) they’ll get close and even when holding back you feel like your being hit by a windmill.
I instantly had the biggest respect for boxing as a sport. It may not look graceful but my goodness is it efficient and what an incredible coordination and stamina those guys have.
You nailed, friend. Great video.
I watched a 2+ hour CZcams video from Rokas Leo about a variety of self defense tests, full of great wisdom, action and even humor. In one test scenario, they guys were confronted with a knife wielding robber and had to defend themselves. (They did not know what the scenario was going to be until they walked into the room.) The first guy got out with only a minor injury (denoted by red paint on the rubber knife ending up on the person) and got I think 3 out of 5 points. The second guy, said, "sure, I'll give you everything" and gave him his wallet. He got 5 points. I think that was awesome.
When in doubt, always remember the first rule of fights: don't get in one.
Chris Wuebbolt the golden rule is backstab your opponent.

This host looks like he’s about to sell me some tobacco or whiskey in barrels, or something.
The Emperor of Mankind that's really funny.
LOL
I think he's trying to sell a tobacco barrel full of whiskey

Watching fake martial artists getting brutally reunited with reality is one of the best experiences in the world.
Yeah it's comedy gold at this point.
I think it's one of the saddest experiences.
@@MarkusJackDijkgraaf It's tragicomical, indeed
@@MarkusJackDijkgraaf comedy is tragic events happening to other people.
And if you would see a true martial artist to use his karate to become a world heavyweight champion in the ufc, you would be salty cuz you would be wrong. Funny thing is, that theory is actually true. Lyoto Machida has been training karate since he was 5 so yea martial arts are and have been effective in combat for years. They were invented by villagers who would get raided so they had to find a system of combat that would protect their women and children Do you really think people back then would rely on a form of combat that that is impractical? No because if they did then their kids would get killed
I think you are half correct.
90% of protecting yourself is
Confident Intimidation. The rest is learning how to react without having to take the time to think about what you are going to do.
Oh yes, don’t forget to learn a few tricks from a good slight of hand magician……..we could go on and on and on…….yes it never ends.
There is never one best way of doing things.
Great to see so many of the same responses here. I studied Karate for a decade, and it was drilled into us that the best thing to do in a fight or confrontation is just run away, give them your wallet, etc. Your life's not worth attempting to fight. They had a specific class for adults that focused on actual street defense and practical techniques, but otherwise we were just playing a sport, getting/staying in shape, learning balance, improving reaction times, learning how to fall without getting hurt, etc.
If you learn a martial art, the biggest thing I've seen is to try them out on someone who has absolutely no idea whatvmartial art you're using, but is fully capable of defending themselves. I can't tell you how many times I've been put on my ass trying out "techniques" on someone only for them to easily resist mindlessly. It's a fun way to humble yourself. Also, remember, it doesn't matter how fast your fists are, a bullet flies faster. Know when to yield and when to run.
I see you've watched Indiana Jones before! Despite that scene being a total goof, there was infinite amounts of wisdom in it... AKA don't show off and don't be an idiot.
The best thing to learn is to read a room and to read people if you see before hand if shits going to go down then leave if you know some one is going to attack ATTACK FIRST
Thats one of the many problems i have with "self defiance " classes they say dont start the fight not dont instigate it
A fight is won most times in the first 3 seconds thats what they dont understand is that no amount of practice is going to save you when you get knocked down to the ground and been kicked in the liver 3 times
@J Calhoun yea but in my eyes if you do have to fight then stay as long as your safe and make sure you have witness as walking away make it much more likely to have charges pressed
If its a a he sayed this and i say this you might at worst get a small fine but if its one sided your at least spending a night in jail
The reason for this is that todays martial arts are no longer killing techniques. Try a traditional one and the result will be different.
@J Calhoun What was he training? You can consider China and Japan, of course, the two main countries for far eastern martial arts. For China it was mainly Buddhist and Daoist monks who developed techniques. In Japan, which was at war for vast periods of time, it was also a common part of the warriors repertoire. These techniques are no longer taught in the traditional lethal way. Only Ninjutsu, to which today Samurai techniques had been added and is now Bujinkan, is still as dangerous as it was designed.
If ya'll wanna learn self defense, learn parkour, its running, but with *s t y l e*
Its like having fashion in wood cutting. Totally useless and out of its place!
Parkour and Jui Jitsu together is pretty fricking neat
@@nefelibatacomingthrough2707 that's freerunning what you are talking about. The og parkour has no fancy stuff, just jumping and adapting to enviroment.
@@iagree3742 Still less efficient than parkour and practical shooting.
@@alatus7242 you right
I was in karate classes for years, I got two belts away from a black belt, they literally taught me like 5 moves, the rest of the time they just spent teaching me stupid dances.
What you describe as sparring is not the kind of sparring I used to do in the 1970s and 1980s. Our whole point of sparring was to win, but without injuring the other person we where sparring with. Now, while not a realistic as full contact unlimited fighting, when we sparred we were aggressive, non-compliant, and each seeking to defeat the other. We just did not want serious injuries from every sparring session.

To be fair, Hercule was legitimately the strongest Martial artist of his time who didn't use Ki or something.
@@Merilirem yeah, he wasn't Z level, but if he appeared early in dragonball og series, he would actually be somewhat lethal
@@Merilirem He really was the strongest ant in an elephant zoo.
@@natereynolds2783 Agreed. Considering his sheer strength level? Pulling... What was it, 3-5 busses? Tearing a phone book in half? That doesn't sound so ridiculous in DBZ, but in Dragonball, and especially in reality, that's... Rather impressive. Especially the entire phone book, considering how difficult those things are to tear in half.
@@MrJinglejanglejingle Actually it was 3 Phone Books, not 1.
The truth about effectiveness of a fighting style. You must fight and have hard sparring in your training or you'll never have effective application of the art. You must fight to learn how to fight, otherwise you're dancing.
It's been said never give a man who can't dance a sword - Confucius
@@khaosknight2010 I think it was Miyamoto Masashi who said that
So true I know black belts who have never taken a hard punch to the face. Total shock to the system when it happens.
@frankos rooni Completely agree. If I had to bet on a rugby player in serious combat with someone from most martial arts my money would be on the rugby guy. It's the reaction to truma. Rugby guy get hit heavily often but have keep going. You can get a black belt and never know the shock of a sweaty 15 stoner smacking you in the gob with all his might. No comparison.
@@TheAndybow1964 I think the problem are these little dojos parents send their kids to. I was in one. It was low to non-contact. You get belt promotions for memorizing sequences and paying more money to enter tournaments. Doesn’t matter if you win or lose you’ll eventually get promoted for going through the motions. I saw a black belt kid in my first month who’s kicking form was dogshit. Dude kicked like a grandma. People just monetized off the martial arts popularity from the 80s or whatever. Real martial arts were actually practiced with real fighting back when you needed to in times of war, whether it was the most effective form or not it was something which was better than nothing. Karate was used in real combat... Mcdojo karate was not. MMA has made a joke out of some disciplines because we have all evolved to figure out which forms are the best, it’s not the fault of the discipline being “fake” but that’s just the natural progression of figuring out what’s most effective with the introduction of mixed martial arts.
It’s kind of disrespectful to the old ways tbh. Now we have figured out that western boxing, jiu jitsu, wrestling and Muay Thai are the most effective, we go clown on less effective forms. You don’t see anyone else going around using modern High Jump techniques in the olympics and clowning on the old ways and calling it fake. People need to realize we’ve just progressed with combat knowledge, no need to talk shit about the old ways. It actually was useful fighting knowledge against someone who wasn’t or less trained.

Martial Arts i feel are only useful in a controlled 1 on 1 environment......or to deal with school bullies, which i witnessed first hand before. Thanks Daniel!

Excellent.
Some of the martial arts you listed aren't anything I ever thought of as self defense. Sumo seems like a sport. Tai chi is an exercise and spiritual practice (like yoga.) Capoeiria seems more like a dance. I mean there is a fighting aspect to capoeiria, but I can't imagine it's anyone's first choice for self defense.
I do love watching martial arts for aesthetic purposes, it's cool and creative.
