Your base for self defense is wrestling, boxing, muay Thai and jujitsu…..that's pretty broad , and seems slightly biased towards competitionđđđ.
Here we see another common problem discussing martial arts in the context of self defence. Time and effort. Do these two realize how long it takes for an average Joe to learn one? Now multiply that by 4 and then go on to others and maybe that's all you do in your spare time after work. Well done.
Jiu Jitsu is shitâŠâŠlike 100 % of fights start standing up. Maybe itâs my class or school but from my experience, Jiu Jitsu is among the least effective martial arts.
Sad you didn't mention judo but still great video. Start with maybe wrestling and judo, augment with boxing or muaythai and then if you would like add in more but those 4 are perfect as starters.
Wrestling followed by any other art. The tougher the fight the more you need wrestling. It has physical conditioning and was more effective and practical in the streets than BJJ IMO. And personally i would go for Boxing and Muay Thai if im lucky enough to find a dutch style kickboxing gym or legit savate then i would go there.
Dont run away turning your back against someone who wants to hurt you is dumb. dont start BJJ first train stricking first or else you well get jumped and your bjj well be useless. its funny how white suburben men who dont know anything about hood survival or the animals that live in big city slums love to tell people to learn bjj 1st because they dont have any experience in the inner city slums. i would learn striking 1st in case you get jumped and then bjj. Unless you are white and live in the suburbs and are training for sport and dont care about self defense.
I actually got my start in Shuri Ryu Karate last year. Its an Okinawan striking form of self defense. Started it at 39 years old and am 40 years old. After about 6 years I would like to move on to old school wrestling or Jiu Jitsu, whichever is available to me.
I have to ask why do you condone running? I get trying to de escalate the situation to get out of it without fighting but if you decide to run from the potential attacker you are directly pitting your fitness v their fitness already, not to mention turning your back on them. Could you provide some further insight on this stance?
Asking the question as a ânon-fighterâ is the equivalent of âhow can I live in a bubble of fantasy, ignoring everything around me but if they donât ignore me, thereâs a magic spell that makes it go away without me having to acknowledge it?â
One important thing to considarate is, will i be able to make this technique or will this training will be usefull if I am tired, sick or just not in my prime.
That first step, change your mind set, is the hardest for people brought up in today's "violence is bad" society. The physical part is easy, you can train your body as much as you like, but if you haven't trained your mind to be triggered to unleash overwhelming violence on the strength of one little sniff of a threat, then you will freeze or panic or try to negotiate, delay… once you train that trigger and you've tested it and you know it works, then you are able to use the physical skills and these moments get a lot easier, but this is hard to teach others…
Not anything is better than nothing. If you get shit self defense, you'll be convinced you know what you're doing and get killed while being cocky. Just go with MMA
Best self protection martial arts could be a selection of sports based martial arts? Or maybe itâs best to choose a holistic self protection/reality based system?
JockoâI assume you learned the âbig 4â as a SEAL…If you ever got into a close quarters fight, how did you decide which style of fighting to use, or did you know them all so well that you could reach for whatever technique you needed at the time, regardless of the style?
I want to get into BJJ extremely bad but im a little lost how do i know what studio is real deal and which one isnt so legit? also now with the quarantine is their any way i can self teach some moves atleast
Not gonna lie, Moo Thai sounds pretty bad ass đźđ
As opposed to dudes that don't come out of vaginas?

The smirk from jocko, when the other guy said âeven crossfit has self defenceâ
Canât always run from your problems. Sometimes people around you will need you to step up, sometimes youâll have no choice but to fight.
lol Tim is so stupid "I can't even see what's right here" 0:43
War every type for millennia is a big Darwinian selection pressure
Pilates and couples dancing?
Boxing đ„ First, Wrestling/Judo Muy Thai and CJJ or UC

Gracie Jiu-jitsu. Would be #1 for me. It's self defense based. Not sport bjj
If you want to learn self defense join cross country in school lol

You can't always run away from someone with a knife.
First buy a gun and learn to use it, second learn bjj.
Italian Karate….5 guys beating you with bats

âStop being a pussy!â Hahaaađ
I can't imagine someone looking at any of these guys (especially Jocko) and thinking that grabbing a hold of them is a good plan.
What about a class combining basics of those martial
Arts you mentioned?
Always enjoy listening to Tim, just full of logic and common sense…'anything is better than nothing'.
this is why I do track and field, no one can catch me now. Self defense and fighting back is just for when Im with others who cant run
When jocks says jiujitsu does he mean Japanese or Brazilian? Or both
Jiujitsu, boxing, wrestling, muay thai, all good – you forgot judo !
Judo seems to be very underrated nowadays.

Krav Maga is not a martial art but there are a tone of reality based self defence combatives training methods out there
I wanted to get started with systema
I would love to know what these guys think about silat?
Any suggestions for starting in BJJ during covid with all gyms closed?
The big 4 of practical combat and martial arts. And use the others after that to augment them, as jocko says.
Video couldâve ended in the first 30 seconds.

How to train though when everything is closed down and they will probably do another lockdown?

If you meet Jocko in a dark alley, you'll need all of the above and another Jocko.
Get warrior poet on here too!
No BJJ and Muay Thai where I live…..
There was no BJJ when I started…. you either had Japanese or Korean martial arts that was it, then your next step was wrestling or boxing
