If you live in a safe country, martial arts are just not worth the effort. Criminals don't what you death (in that case you will get shot like that martial expert for Indiana Jones 😂) they just want your money. So the best way to go is to give them the money and safe your life. Plus it is really hard to protect yourself from something like a knife attack.

[@chazzybara]

for one term of school, we got a different performing arts teacher who got us to do capoeira. on the final lesson, we got into pairs and each did a routine while she recorded it so it could be added to an 'end of the year' dvd which everyone got. one kid got kicked in the face and went straight down. teacher kept recording it for like a good ten seconds after. we never heard from her again

Karate gets two entries. HEMA is completely absent. Sad face. :(

[@adandyguyinspace5783]

It’s not in the realm of being known on a wide scale like Asian martial arts. It’ll take generations for that. I wish we had more martial arts available, I for one would like to learn some African stuff but there’s only a handful of people teaching it. Indigenous martial arts would be cool to learn too, including Pacific Islanders.

[@smilintroll]

yup i was looking forward to some HEMA :(

[@kosviik9584]

Well I think the naming makes it a bit confusing. Since the video talks about martial arts that put focus on hand-to-hand combat, or atleast have a substantial part focusing on it, and HEMA is a primarily weapons-based system with very little unarmed content. In that sense, things like Wushu are very much treading that line drawn. So yea, its a bit all over the place. But if HEMA were included, then we might aswell include things like Fencing and Kendo. But that could make for a good separate video.

[@oneoranota]

Kind ironic to do a video on martial arts, the "arts of war", and focus on hand to hand, which accounts for like 2% of actual warfare. They are more prominent because they are more relatable to us peasants. But back in medieval time, "martial art" meant archery, horse riding, sword fighting, and later on, gun shooting.

[@smithbabies7886]

As a karate practitioner, I feel ya brotha. However, it seems that this video is primarily based on empty handed combat or things evolved from them. HEMA is awesome though.

Hello dear KZbinr, thank you for this video. I live with Ju Jitsu for 28 years now and I will use this video to summarise to the unending list of curious people that every week asks me what is the difference between my art and the others thousands. I also love the fact that even if this is a not pretentious video you also take the time to list a great range of martial art disciplines. In every one of these we can spend HOURS of talking styles and techniques but you arrive at the core principles in just a few words and I deeply appreciated that. Grazie mille ❤️

As a brazilian jiujitsu practitioner, fights in BJJ don't start on the ground. In training you usually start there, but only because it's safer. In competition, you always start standing up.

ITF: The original and more traditional style that is not as well known as its more modern counterpart.

I did taekwondo for about 5 years as a child and something my master taught me was that the sport was primarily focused on self defence. He taught us a lot of defensive techniques like blocking. He also taught us "patterns" for memory, so sequences of varying taekwondo moves in a symmetrical fashion. Even now, over a decade later, having long quit the sport, I still remember Pattern 1, but only Pattern 1 LOL
