I have yet to see kung fu do well in a cage fight

Sport karatekas do alright, but they fight like kickboxers more than traditional karate

Muay thai is legit.
Bjj is legit
Sambo is unnecessarily difficult but effective if you master it
Jeet kune do and krav maga and all that shit is just memes

A gun

So western?

Eastern obviously. Bullshitto being the best amongst the ancient eastern arts.

Western if you have 6 months to learn.
Eastern if you have a decade or two to learn.

Too much aderall and fucking shit up>kickboxing/muay thai>boxing>krav>kung fu (if san su or wing chun)>WWE>Affliction mma

Western, considering we beat them in every war we fight.

The ancient art of "hit first and hit hard". All these youtube clips you see of "omg boxer beats up three muggers" are one in a million, the rest of the fights are dirty, and the ones attacking you will likely do so with a weapon. Run like a slave or go for broke

I remember falling for easter martial arts meme as a highshooler. Wanted to learn to fight but also "too intelligent to do boxing"
Spent 4 years training idiotic TKD
Trainer always used to say:
>TKD isn't something you learn and youre done, its a way of life
Ye no shit, you can spend your whole life doing it and still suck at combat

Thinking back bjj and muay thai combo be the best.

Oh, but TKD wasnt useless, all that focus on stretching the legs enabled me to squat with perfect form
>TKD is a starting program for ass to grass squats

>Took TKD
>Got really good at kicking

>He bum rushes me
>I get my watch jacked
>He laughs because I literally had zero bucks in my wallet
>Feels bad man

Fast forward a few years

>Join Hand Egg team for highschool
>Instantly recognize him
>I'm slightly bigger than him now at this point
>Tackle him out of nowhere
>He's wheezing on the floor and clutching his chest
>People are all like "Wtf, why'd you do that?"
>He looks up and has this "Oh shit" look on his face
>He tells me he remembers me
>I say something like "Sorry, dude. I couldn't help myself"
>He asks if we're even now
>"Uhhhhh, do you still have my watch?"
>He tells me his cousin's family friend took it from him right after he got home that day
>Oh, well, whatevs
>Help him up
>We now be good friends and shieeeet

Man, that was a hard lesson for a 13 year old, but I'm glad I didn't have to relearn it when I was already an adult.

The bigger guy always wins. If you're fighting someone bigger, bring a big friend. If he has bigger friends, bring more friends; and if he has the most friends, become his friend.

Obviously if you have a weapon western and if unarmed eastern.
