This is probably the best Martial Art tier list I seen here on KZbin. I was surprised that you put Jeet Kune Do as A tier for your list. I been training in Jeet Kune Do since September 2023 and I’m glad that I’m getting better in it. I finally got my level 1 rank last weekend!

A great 👍 book to study. ❤

Barefisted boxing used to be a thing, they would go for body shots and fights would go all day. No punch out for you!

13:25 "You aren't gonna be attacked by someone smaller than you." As soon as you said that I could think of multiple times this happened to me. But it went exactly like you would expect when a smaller person attacks a larger person. 😂 34:30 As someone that did Kenpo for 5 years, I wanted to argue with you, but I couldn't. 👊 To be fair though, it had locks, grappling, and throws when I was in it. I did wrestling in High School, and at the time it was adding more grappling but I guess it didn't take in all schools.

unrelated question here, is the combination of boxing, Muay Thai, Kyokushin karate, wing chun, sambo( just it's grappling part) a good self defense . I have decent striking game, but now I am focusing more on ground game as well as my throws, etc. As for wing chun, I use its parries and traps. I utilise Kyokushin for it's kicks a lot and also conditioning of the body. Boxing , it's punches. Muay, elbows, knees, kicks and punches. As for grappling, self explanatory.

I have practice the 2…but I think a mix of judo with boxing is perfect for the street…

Gun fu is always the best form of self defense

Can use 5 gal bucket of sand to toughen knuckle skin up but same rule applies stop if skin breaks.

Mixed Martial arts is number 1 it's not even for debate because its just that. Mixed . The best self defense today is to be armed

I did several years of karate and some judo, was good enough to be undefeated among the girls/women within my classes and was often paired with boys and still won a few. Basically, not a black belt, etc but not a complete slouch. I'd consider myself as knowing the basics (winning against girls isn't a big deal because most punch like free speech. Punch ends where opponent's skin begins. No need to defend other than eyes and accidents, you can just focus on attack). What really helped me were being a pack horse owner and mountaineering. Neither the horse nor the mountain cared that I was female, and I was quickly forced to learn my limits and expand them, compensate or work around what I couldn't handle. A sack of grain doesn't care about by ability to lift - either it moves or doesn't. A horse needing to be shoved aside to saddle the one next to it weighs more than most men I know. Stuff like thisi gave me the advantage, I think. I was not hesitant to use all the power at my disposal. So even with fewer muscles than boys, I could still win until they gained experience and started really hitting or using their height and then there was no contest. Though I have to say I found more practical utility from judo than karate. My most effective real life win was a skill with pack horses - they travel in a line on a mountain path, so you can't go to every horse easily. You throw stones, and unless you want to blind your livestock, you get very accurate. And that turned out to be one hell of a skill after getting groped on a road at night by a man on the back seat of a scooter. The scooter slowed and started turning to come back. I was alone. Street had stones. A few stones later, they decided it wasn't worth the trouble. Another time my horse skills came in handy was when I was helping a victim of domestic violence leave her home. Her husband returned unexpectedly and returned. He was huge and drunk. He grabbed her by the hand wand was dragging her to the bedroom. I pushed him off-balance, he landed on the floor, embarrassed, because I was half his weight and had white hair. It was enough for us to make our exit without further incident. Sometimes just reading the room and doing what you can with confidence works. And exiting fast. Basically, I guess I'm saying that as a woman, I find what has helped me the most is learning to use force. The best technique isn't useful if you're not using your strength and the partner is uncooperative. I learned karate, where you end up getting kicked and punched quite a bit. That actually helps, because you get conditioned to it and aren't shocked the first time you're really hit, but because you can't really go all out while sparring, you can't really develop a habit of hitting hard and for women, this is a disadvantage, I think, because we already have less muscle, reach, weight behind our hits. If we also aren't hitting at full power, we are in trouble in any real situation. Just in case anybody cares, there is a need to teach girls to HIT HARD and then it may be effective enough against an aggressive man to make an escape work. Or you're just wasting everybody's time and getting false confidence. There used to be a time when I was younger that just having gone to a karate class gave women the overconfidence to get in the faces of men over bad behaviour, and it rarely ended well. Somebody shameless enough to grope you on a street doesn't exactly care that you think you can punch. Walk away. Identify him and file a police complaint if needed. Don't punch him. You embarrass him in public, he finds you where you're alone... this happened and then there was a much worse police complaint. He basically beat her to a pulp, gave her fractures... went to jail, sure, but she took longer to heal than his sentence.

mma isn't a fighting art style nor a set of technique every fighter have a set of technique he is proficient at, if there anything in common in MMA is the defense and I mean by that a head movement, footwork, wrestling defense, Clenching and ground defense the rest is up to each one's preference and necessity when you take in consideration body frame, weight and reach but a 10 years MMA fighter is going to defeat other self-defense or one dimensional martial artist

The statistic that 90% of all fights go to the ground is actually not true. This statistic was made by police for police confrontations, where police officers are trained to take suspects to the ground. However, street fights are completely different.

Training in either one is going to substantially up your chances of walking away from a physical encounter. Real self defense is all the awareness and decisions you make prior to that.

If an art does spar or have full contact fighting it doesn’t work simple as.

The philosophy they share is flexibility. Ju. Jutsu was designed for unarmed combat against people in armor. Do was designed for people who wanted a work out and not think about killing.

your face looks soft as toilet paper

REAL DRAGON.

My platoon leader did BJJ before deploying to Iraq. When he was there, he got in a fight with a terrorist and did a double leg takedown and mounted the guy. While he was doing that, the guy’s buddy snuck up behind him, lifted his helmet and hit him on the back of the head with a lead pipe. Now he has brain damage.

Thank you so much for acknowledging the differences between BJJ and GJJ. With that said, GJJ has deep roots in old school judo. Practitioners should be learning practical use of the the traditional throws.

Although I'm BJJ guy, Judo defo is better for the streets. BJJ schools are starting to implement more takedowns, but still insufficient. I'd love to pick up Judo as well but the distance of schools from my home and just the overall amount of time I have doesn't really help. That doesnt mean i dont see the value in BJJ (otherwise i wouldnt be doing it).. generally speaking, its better to know some kind of martial art than none.

My Sifu once said " Stop chasing hands and hit your target".

As a person who has trained in aikido and kenpo karate aikido is effective.

In judo you don't really want to go to the ground and in judo you do want to go to the ground? What? I know lots of Judoka - some at the international level - who are great at Ne Waza. They want their fights to go to the ground because that is where they dominate. Old school BJJ and old school judo. Judo has Atemi Waza - punching and kicking. It also has back locks, neck locks, leg locks and wrist locks which are not legal in competition but are still judo. Also, judo did not have weight classes for almost its first 100 years - weight classes only came in when judo became an Olympic sport. So judo techniques developed for smaller people to use on larger people and larger people to use on smaller people.

Hey this is cool. How are you gonna celebrate now that it is finished?

Yoo, congrats!

Sometimes an attack is a foregone conclusion, your attacker has a script in their head of what they are going to do. The only way to protect yourself is to tear up the script, for these individuals if you project fear you will draw aggression. You have no idea what kind of mind is behind the eyes of an attacker- leave nothing to chance. In the military it's called " kill or be Killed". Good video.

You know nothing about defending your asshole Master Wong style.

Punch out! Good video. A JKD instructor told boxing and Muay Thai is best for self-defense…. I would add wrestling/submission grappling…

They dont have tension of street element, at best they use Cage or Ring element Director of the Movie never go to the street fight that why. Street Element was the key to realistic martial art movie.

Great video Sensie. A deep bow to you.

Why are nobody talking about Daito Ryu, The samurais' mma? It is one of the most complete martial art.

There should differently be a part 2 to this covering other styles not covered here, specifically Lethwei

Would love to see a video that ranks safest martial arts to practise… I’ve seen some pretty brutal BJJ injuries lately and wonder how they stack up with the others

The same issues you have with hapkido I have with JKD lol. I've cause one of the supposed best JKD guys speeding up his videos. Also there is a major issue in the community in they are nit actually discarding what is useless. There a trend of not going to things we know work, ie boxing, judo, wrestling etc , but instead going to kung fu.

Would I break my knuckles or any part of my fist if I punch someone with bare fist hitting him on the chin clean with an intent to knock him out?

Spoiler alert : You don't bring guns to a fist fight. I think people who had outright knives and are now 6 feets under because of a 38 snub nose/22lr compact autoloader can attest Oh and also if you need martial arts in a father/son argument, self-defense is not where you problem resides.

Judo has a chapter of striking : atemi waza but you don't use it in randori. Do bjj use strikes when they spar?

Isn’t Jeet Kun Do a modified form of Wing Chun?

You mention “changing people’s perception of self defense.” Ι totally agree that that is needed. For that cause, if you like you can read my bοοk just out of the A/zon's oven. I can say that it will be an awakening experience for many if not all. It’s titled " Myths and blind spots in the fighting arts’ world.- After the Bible, it’s the next gοοd bοοk for you! " It's a great gift for all practitioners, especially instructors; it will be a paradigm shift for which some will hate me, while others will thank me for it... And there will be a part 2 coming. Thank you for your time.

Did i miss it or where is Silat??

My experience with Japanese jujitsu and judo back in the day was with lots sparring. In fact we were forced to only use judo or jujitsu while the opponent used boxing gloves. And it was a very traditional school....Houston Budokan. So are we measuring the art itself or are we measuring how watered down a lot of schools are now?

i have 3 years in isshinryu karate

Judo is more fun

Everyone is always comparing this martial art to that martial art. If you enjoy the martial art you do no matter what it is, surly that is enough

Wing Chun has too many fatal faults. Wing Chun teachers do not real fight at professional level.

Wing Chun has many fatal faults. Teachers of Wing Chun do not have real fight experience at professional level. How can you expect them to teach you how to fight?

Hello real dragon! 🐉

In my opinion you shouldn’t rank tkd so low just because there are bad schools, you should base it on what it actually is
