Is true knife defense without a firearm achievable through any martial art?
>>951775
Not with a great degree of reliability. I mean you'll probably fair 10 times better than someone with no training but that moves you from like 0.1% to 1%.
>>951786
So basically you go from dying like a dog in the street to dying like a dog in an ambulance?
Depends on if you are going to play true Scotsman or not.
But yes however nothing is certain 100% flawless victory best magic anti knife death touch. And their is a LOT of bullshit out there. So much so that some in the martial community see dealing with edged weapons at all as almost nearly impossible.
In the end it comes down to how you train any your mental attitude that increases your odds of survival more then what exactly you train in.
That being said style like FMA have the most familiarity with knifes and knife defense on a practical level.

Who cares? It's not like he was a scientist or political activist who changed the world.
>When he’s asked if he is anxious or intimidated to make the transition from professional wrestling (where the punches are performed) to MMA (where the punches have malicious intent), he pushes back. His tone is even, but testy. His smirk seems strained.
Punk: I get this question a lot, and it's like you guys think I'm an idiot. Like I didn't know MMA wasn't pre-determined or something like that. Have you ever tweeted at me, "Hey, do you know what you're getting into?"
Wong: I never have.
Punk: Okay. It sounds like you might have.
Wong: I don't mean to put you on the defensive...
Punk: I'm not on the defensive. Your question is insulting. You're asking me if I know the difference between the WWE and the UFC?
Wong: That's not what I'm asking.
Punk: That's exactly what you're asking. You say my fans say that? You're mistaken. My fans do not say that. I wouldn't say anything to them [my critics]. I don't justify stupidity with an answer. I don't give a shit what anybody thinks of me, whether I'm going to fight or not. I know what I'm going to do. If I did anything in my life based on someone's negative opinion on me, I would never fucking leave my house. My fans are people who don't tweet negative shit at me.
>He expresses resentment, pointing towards the recorder near the end of the interview, nervous that I’ll edit the tape, and run a hatchet job on him. One can empathize with the sentiment. Punk gets up, shakes my hand, and gives me a pat on the back. His handler motions for Punk to come with him, and I’m escorted in the opposite direction. I’m told later that Punk has no interest in talking to me ever again.

I wanted him to be successful but now I just want him to get his ass handed to him.
CM Punk's post WWE stuff has just shown what a whiny little man child he is.
Dude is ruining his career without ever saying nigger or releasing a sex tape.
Guys WWE needs but no chance of coming back.
Batista as champ in 2014 would've been great but the smarks ruined it
Batista might be back.

Considering how "well" WWE handled his latest 6 month run, I don't think so.
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
Reigns is going to be the most booed WWE Champion as a face in history.
They're used to the top guy getting boo'd, why should this be any different?
Of course he is going over at WM, are you retarded?

What do you think about Mick Foley
>>946660
Badass.
>>946660
Overrated.
>>946660
Mick "Ten Burgers" Foley is a fat whining beta hobo.
found a bjj place that doesn't give belts based on hours clocked on the mat. Promotions every 6 months
blackbelt in 2 years here I come!
>>945542
>hours clocked on the mat
promotions are supposed to come with skill
>>945552
apparently you can fail the belt exam. but I don't intend to fail any of them.
I think it's kinda bullshit how many organizations create this artificial scarcity of blackbelts by basing it on how much time you spend practicing. If I can take one class a week and catch on I shouldn't have to log hours upon hours for the sake of getting a new belt
I think it's pretty mcdojo to force people to have a certain amount of time, its just price gouging
I think it's a good idea not to base skill on time spent on the mat.
Some people progress faster than others.
Some teachers are better than others.
You don't need to have passed intro to psychology to know and understand these things.
>blackbelt in 2 years

what martial art would best teach me how to defend myself with a baseball bat?
kendo?
>please dont anyone say kenjitsu...
>>944970
Interesting choice for a weapon, why do you wish to use the bat?
big league chewjitsu
It's extremely unlikely you will need technique if you defend yourself with a baseball bat.
Just smash them in the fucking head, and try not to let them take your bat away and smash your fucking head
>The only way to hit somebody - MUAY THAI
>Only grappling style - JIU JITSU
>Obvious steroid abuser - SUPER ATHLETE
Name somebody who's ruined Martial arts more than Joe Rogan.
>>944444
whatever dipshit invented aikido
I think he's pretty open about the fact he juices, that's why he wont compete. He said flat out he wouldn't be allowed to because of the drug testing.
