seeing shit like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djx3T9IEc1A makes me want to learn how to defend myself
i don't give a shit about grappling or whatever. just the basics of how to throw a punch and then run the fuck away

Take a few boxing classes.
They teach you how to stand, how to hit and a fuck ton of cardio. You won't be fending off hordes of people Jet-Li style, but if you're lucky you can get in a good sucker punch then run like the dickens.
Buy a knife instead. If you are in a fight where you can't win with a knife, avoid it at all costs.

is ameridote even real?
I'm a pussy and afraid of escalation with a knife. Is krav maga a meme? I just want to be able to get away from someone trying to kick my ass.

cardio you massive shitlord

i often arrive at that position in fights, oh, how i wish i knew what his killer combo is from that point onward!

Pocket sand.
But seriously. If you are at a point where you cant run, you want a knife.

Galactus is far stronger than goku ssj4 you dumb cunt.

ignore this

listen to this.
punches are easier and less risky than kicks.
if you are gainfully employed, odds are you dont have all day to train.
there are literally only 6 moves in boxing. the rest is just sparring and getting experience hitting and getting hit.
that being said, if you are afraid of knives, then just get a gun.
if its 1 vs 1 barehand, if you know anything you're better off.
if its 1 vs 2 you're fucked.
same goes for if they have a knife/gun etc.
dont fall for the illusion of competence that certain places give you. because you will get stabbed and die.

goku would ass rape that fag, bitch
Train a sweeping finger stab to the eyes and front kicks to the balls and shin.
That's all you need in a real fight.
>>39370697
as someone who has played around with a lot of martial arts, this is the best thing ive seen.
Now for my 2 cents:
Boxing - Imo the quickest way (meaning training time) you can learn to defend yourself in a street fight
Judo - the best way to defend yourself in a 1-1 if you don't have a powerful/tall physique and/or don't want to deal with assault charges
thai boxing - best way to demolish your opponent(s) before they know whats happened and get yourself jail time

THIS. Don't fuckin fight someone with a knife.
>>39370614
buy a gun
or a pipebomb
If you live in a shit state then move
>>39370614
Muay Thai has a good focus on the clinch which is how most street fights end up.
Kickboxing has a very broad striking coverage.
These are the two I do.
Boxing is the primary self-defence style because it teaches you how to kite so that you can kite that faggot with a knife or that faggot and his friends.
MT doesn't teach you moving and striking properly, it's far less mobile than boxing.
Judo/bjj are great and fun to take along with boxing.
Sambo is like judo but with leglocks instead of armlocks, more focused on ground game, more about strength than kuzushi.

Carry a gun if you live in the US and don't live in an extremely liberal state.
