Two types of martial art: Striking (punching and kicking) and Grappling (throws, sweeps, and holds).

Most effective striking:

Muay Thai (kickboxing)
Boxing
Kyokushin Karate

Most effective grappling:

Judo
Brazilian jiu-jitsu
Wrestling


Why are these the most effective? They are competitive sports as well as martial arts. Meaning you can actually practice what you learn against people who also fight as a hobby. Thus when you fight someone who isn't used to fighting and are just picking a fight because they are drunk/angry then you probably will have as much of an edge as you can have.

DISCLAIMER: EVERY FIGHTER IS SHIT WHEN IT COMES TO BEING SUCKER PUNCHED. YOU WILL GET YOUR ASS KNOCKED OUT AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH TRAINING YOU HAVE YOU CAN ALWAYS GET SEVERELY HURT AND PERMANENTLY INJURED BY JUST A SINGLE PUNCH AND THE RESULTING CRASH.

Now, which to pick? Honestly, I am a fan of Judo. The reason being that 9/10 a street fight is essentially a randy swinging at you as much as he can before you both clumsily fall to the ground and someone gets rekt. Most fights are not a one punch knock out compilation on youtube. That being said, usually the first one to hit the ground is usually the first one to lose. Judo focuses on throwing and sweeping people to the ground. All Judo classes will also give you some training in striking. Judo is particularly effective against "tough guys" who like to shove and push you (assault you ie defending yourself) giving you a lovely opportunity to throw them to the ground. Never under estimate how much it fucking hurts to be slammed to the ground. Especially on concrete or hard wood. Shit fucking hurts and knocks the wind out of you. Essentially you can win with one throw.

Now, that being said if you REALLY want to be a great fighter you should always pair a grappling with a striking. This pair is usually called "MMA" fighting or mixed martial arts, but most trainers who teach "MMA" will usually give you a watered down version of each.

BJJ (Brazilian jiu-jitsu) is a great martial art for once you're one the ground and submitting your opponent through holds (arm and leg locks with the threat of breaking). Mix in punching and you have a ground and pound that will fuck anyone up.

If you are a fan of punch, then go with boxing. If you like powerful kicks go with Kyokushin (most people do not even know what kyokushin karate is and if you find a dojo that describes it at such more than likely they will be legit but always do research). Muay Thai is a great mixture of both. Muay Thai is in my opinion the most "dangerous" of the three striking. It is relentless and gives a feel of really getting hit. I only choose Kyokushin because it is full contact, all punches can only go to torso, kicks can go to any location but the head can only be hit by kicks. Thus you get a lot of practice in judging whether or not that sweet ass amerikick to the head is really worth it. Kyokushin also focuses a lot on leg kicks. That may seem dumb, but when I say leg kicks I mean kicking so hard your thigh or calf simply goes out and you fall from lack of mobility.

Basically Muay Thai is punching and kicking with a more boxing oriented training and Kyokushin is a Japanese based Budo training. Honestly I think BJJ and Muay Thai fit better and Judo and Kyokushin go better together just due to their cohesion in origin.

Then again this is biased as fuck since I am a practitioner of Kyokushin and Judo.

Stop smoking Weed.
It's fun sometimes, but in your situation it just makes you indifferent, think too much and also probably dependent because you obviously use it to smoke the feels away.
Drop it, take the Pain like a Man and use it as a katalysator for change.

Hey man I'll try to help you.

1. aesthetics, strength and health in that order. Currently going low reps for strength though.

2. I guess low reps high weight is strength and high reps low weight is cardio, inbetween that there's the balance where you gain strength and endurance. Time-under-Tension being a word that I heard being thrown around.
From my experience though, strength ultimately makes you bigger.

3. see 2

4. Bulking means maximum gains, but also lot of fat gain. Cutting means lower gains but lose body fat,gaining aesthetics.
If you do a clean bulk, you could also just forgo that, raising musclemass without gaining fat, but that's not an easy thing to do. There's a reason everyone Bulks and then cuts.


I don't claim to be an authority. Most of my knowledge stems from my education and reading a lot. Hope I could help you.

>>39210139
Thank you,
Rereading my post it sounds like i have never been to the gym but in reality i am just a few months in and am looking for input mostly spurred on because i started a clean bulk today and am wondering where the memes meet the facts as far as aesthetics go, basically i dont kick over busses for a living so it is aesthetics>health>strength for me

what do you mean the staff sucks. you go to the gym for the staff?

I have an LA Fitness pass, they're alright, they have good equipment and my gym is usually fairly clean. I do like it better than my uni gym for obvious reasons.

yes replace the multi for vegetables. buy two a week. i would say any leafy green like spinach and then a colorful vegetable so red cabbage, carrots, squash, beets broccoli, cauliflower. replace the almonds with some greek yogurt and add a fiber supplement and keep the vit d.

Are you eating at a surplus? Probably not because you're a weakling.

It is more likely you aren't lifting with enough heart.

I've noticed most people don't put anywhere near as much effort as they should and so they don't get gains

>i've been squatting 52.5kg for 2 years why?
>it's because they haven't been really pushing themselves

When it gets real hard keep going.

^^^^^^^^

This is the single most important factor in muscular development: the effort you put in.

That one extra rep you do at the end of the set when most guys give up is what gives you the results you want.

You will end up seeing the RESULTS you want. They will end up yelling GEAR and FAKE NATTY at you in the CBT, and posting about their 'bad genetics' and ' low test levels'

Do you want to get big, or do you want to be the guy on /fit/ saying stuff like 'anyone that claims they hit 1/2/3/4 in less than 6 months is a liar or a fatty'

iron raises base def iirc

Unless you're vegetarian or anemic it may not be wise to take iron if you're male. Women need it because they lose a lot through menstruating but you can easily overload on iron if you're not deficient, it accumulates
