hey guys and girls, i always wondered what the best close combat sport is to defend yourself on the street and i would love to hear your opinions about it :)

I'm pretty intrested in combat sports and i do krav maga, i think it's pretty usefull in real life :).

As top 3 i would pick these ones :P

1: MMA

2: Krav Maga

3: Muay Thai

don't hesitate to share what you think about combat sports or what your top 3 is :)

Well in desperate measures and real life circumstances, nothing compares to krav maga. It's hard, dirty, street fighting that uses pretty much any trick in the book to hurt and incapacitate your enemy.

I won't list MMA because well that can include pretty much all the martial arts you need, so to break it down for street fighting only I would say:

1. Krav Maga

2. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

3. Muay Thai

Now you say so sir, MMA is indeed a combination of many types of combat sport. I think most of the time Kick-boxing for the standing fight and BJJ for the ground fight. To be fair i don't know anything about muay thai, out of own experience. I just listed it because many people say it's a great defence sport. Maby i should pay some more attention to it :) .

I listed Krav Maga as the number 1 street fighting martial arts because that's where it was invented haha. It's a dirty and simple martial art but it's effective, basically if a move looks pretty it ain't Krav Maga. BJJ is so effective as a way of handling bigger opponents that you won't find an MMA fighter that hasn't studied it. I was almost tempted to put Muay Thai as the number one street fighting martial arts because of how deadly and effective it can be. Muay Thai is designed to convert the different parts of your body into different weapons. The hands become daggers and swords; the elbows strike like a hammer or mace; the knees cut like an axe, the legs bash like a staff and the shins and forearms protect the body like a suit of armor.

I don't know that much about MCmap so i cant really say what i think is the best but i guess their training technique is pretty good.

Ps. Thanks Parker for the information didn't know anything about muay thai :)

well as someone that is a certified teacher in j.k.d. and a guru in kali silat, a kru in muay thai and a purple belt in bjj i would say for combat effectiveness i would say kali but iv done all of those you posted and if those are your choices krav maga may be your best bet but its all how you train it not what it is thats important. most styles or systems will make you conform to there way of doing thinks but the individual is more important because we all have different abilities so you need to find what your better suited for.

As soon as I read that, I thought of Taekwondo which might be great for you. It literally means "Way of the foot and fist" and it features some great high kicks and fast punches, those powerful high kicks are what make Taekwondo such an effective form of martial arts. I took TKD for about 4 years and loved it.

hmm maybe, but i live in a small village so not much options, had luck with that krav maga. I love the chocking and filthy techniques of krav maga to much to change with any other combat sport :P

    • jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection.
