Would muay thai be good enough in self defense or should I also train bjj?

[@LeeJCander]

Both are ideal in my opinion. Both offer great advantages. For me the best things from Muay Thai are getting comfortable being hit so you don’t lose composure. And clinch fighting. For BJJ, if you train it for a year, against an untrained opponent you’ll always win on the ground if you’re both down.

You have to remember that fighting isn't self defense so knowing muay thai or bjj will have no use if you're attacked with weapons or multiple attackers. Both arts are fantastic for the ring but there's a big difference for the street. Lee Morrison, Nick Drossos, Carl Cestari , David James and Kelly McCann are excellent instructors for self defense.

I don't really advise learning martial arts for self defense, most situations that require you to scrap with someone means that the situation is too dangerous best thing for self defense is your words for deescelation or an actual weapon. But in any situation try to talk your way out of a fight to be safe

[@Overkill_dnb]

If you go to the ground in a streetfight your opponents friend is going to kick you in the head. You don't want to grapple out in real life

[@digar4432]

Learn both

Why not just to switch stance to Southpaw?

[@Krufessor_Rad]

That's another option that's popular nowadays with all the stance switching combos, but remember when you fully switch your stance you're opening your body to their power leg and you're slower than if you can get a quick switch kick off and you remain in your power stance. Also, I tell my students and fighters that you need to master your fundamental stance before you start throwing in switching stances. Just my opinion and experience with it.

Now let a pro Muay Thai fighter kick him. 😅

[@Krufessor_Rad]

Are you saying for a pro muay thai fighter to kick me? I work with pro fighters as well sir. I'm aware of the power and technique. Thank you for the comment.
