What's a good combat/fighting sport that won't interfere with lifting too much? Like boxing is shitton of cardio and heavier muscle isn't really ideal. here they wont' even let you spar or fight unless you wanna go pro...
So for someone looking to learn to fight what should I look for?
I don't know anything but I'm told krav maga is the most functional/useful in real fights
I stopped by a friend's class once and it was all conditioning, minimal sparring and every single technique ended with a strike to the balls
Ryan Brown
muay thai kickboxing dude
Samuel Morales
>falling for jewish meme self defense same as boxing, also too much fucking cardio
Gavin Thomas
>cheating >making it stay deluded
Jason Price
You could probably use the conditioning
Evan King
>"cheating" >not using all available options to leave humanity behind and achieve greatness Confirmed for never making it and staying skinnyfat faggot.
Jeremiah Rogers
Cardio and more food dumbfuck.
Or just go to spar after watching youtube vids and shadowboxing
Or BJJ
Grayson Wilson
Greco-Roman fighting
Leo Murphy
GSP is a practitioner of Muay Thai and he's huge for his weight
Easton Hill
>whats a good combat/fighting sport to do guyssss >oh that one >nah thats too much cardio and as you know cardio kills gainz so fuck that
kys OP
Adam Powell
Nah I'm fine with cardio but when it's JUST cardio and some bag punching it's annoying. that's how (kick)boxing is here. theres no big muay thai clubs. I'm thinking BJJ but I mainly wanna be able to defend myself in public due to my work people can get hostile and I dont wanna wrestle or some shit like that so not sure what
Gavin Fisher
Boxing in terms of raw, essential knowledge of knowing how to throw a punch and how not to go down after getting hit once. Also being left handed in boxing is literally cheating, righties never see your punches coming.
Charles Watson
Traditional Okinawa Karate (not the Shotokan shill bullshit, go for something like Shorin Ryu) Wing Chun (If you have a good trainer, there are many McDojos out there) Krav Maga (If you have a good trainer etc etc) BJJ (Nice) You can also do muay thai/kickboxing and something like that, but expect much much cardio.
Basically look for those clues: Good: Grappling Techniques Ellbow Techniques Training fights Low kicks
Bad: Only hitting/striking Only grappling Only overly reglemented fights (like shotokan point fighting bullshit) Big focus on high kicks (It's good to train them, but in reality kicks against the knees, the ankles and in the groin will be of much more use)
Kayden Collins
Shut up, roidhead.
Julian Rivera
Forgot to add. Normal western boxing can be pretty good. Not too much McDojos out there and useful arm techniques and training. But beware of people kicking and grappling if you ONLY train boxing.
Lucas Wood
Also forgot to add: Krav Maga CAN be really good. But there are many many many many McDojos out there who are just pure shit.
Adrian Morales
Can somebody give me his opinion on Judo in terms of usefulness in fights?
Leo Robinson
Look at my post. If it's only grappling, its useless. Judo and aikido can be great as additional training, but not as a stand-alone.
Grayson Rodriguez
no counter argument to krav maga yet. I don't practice but it seems pretty practical famalam
>falling for jew meme meme
Wyatt Reed
OP here, thanks for the info. I'm mostly interested in being able to defend myself in street fight setting, not in it for sports sake you know, got this friend who's karate champ goes to all the competitions etc but that's not my kind of thing. Due to my business I sometimes get hostile people or people that deserve to be bitch slapped so some technique besides strength should be helpful.
Bentley Baker
Krav maga is nothing but effective dirty fighting techniques for pussies and manlets
Do muay thai if you want an effective fighting style that isn't for women
Carson Phillips
He countered krav maga all by himself. A majority of the techniques revolve around hitting your opponent in the balls.
Have fun being called a dirty fighter forever and getting jumped by all the friends of the guy you're fighting
Jacob Cruz
shaolin kung fu
Elijah Powell
he=me it's very dirty, no honor or anything about it. is this thread not about fighting effectively? if there are friends waiting to jump you then your mistake was hanging with niggers, not practicing the wrong art
I agree it is not manly or cool or fair but if you're in an actual fight it seems like a good way of disabling an attacker no?
Christian Carter
Yeah, that's why I recommended traditional Karate. Traditional Karate is a self defense system, not a competitive sport.
Leo Allen
Addition: Look for Okinawan karate. If it has many competition fights in it, it's no self defense, if it has training fights but mostly training, it normally is self defense. But you need training fights. You can't use techniques if you only learn to use them in a training setup. Normally these training fights are not as dangerous as real competitive fights, you won't get your face beaten to a pulp. Normally you get a few bruises at most.
Ayden Roberts
Your post also promotes BJJ which is grappling only U dont know shit
Blake Jones
shaolin monks actually train retracting thier balls into body making them virtually immune to nut kicks
Cameron Ward
ask a girl who's been kicked in her vag im p sure it would still hurt a lot
I think shaolin monks are just immune to pain overall
Hunter Peterson
I don't know any girls
Ryder Powell
then go outside and kick a random female passerby in their cooch and see for yourself
Robert Gutierrez
> Implying you could attain Arnold's physique with roids
Camden Moore
Idk, I only trained BJJ for half a year. Here the trainer added punches, but maybe that was a personal thing, because he also trained muay thai
Benjamin Young
If you're trainer wasn't affiliated with the Gracie's it wasn't BRAZILIAN Jiu Jitsu You might be thinking of a Japanese hue Jitsu mcdojo
Kevin Evans
BJJ or some shit.
You're gonna do some cardio either way, but the cardio kills gains meme really only applies to training for marathons and dumb catabolic shit like that.
Connor Butler
>implying you would even want to be in arnie mode unless the gym is really shit, there will be a shit ton of cardio. if you want something that will favor your massive physique (assuming...), you should look into wrestling or sambo.
Jonathan Miller
>retracting thier balls into body what, using power of the mind or by pushing them up there?
just when i think those motherfuckers can't do anything weirder, i hear this.
Gabriel Cruz
Fighting sports require good cardio man.
Michael Brooks
Just as a clarification, this is what advanced Shorinryu students sparring looks like:
