I'm not a Capoeirista, but as a Brazilian, I believe I can clear a few things up, since you seem unfamiliar with it. Capoeira was created to look like a dance. African slaves used it to trick the Portuguese colonizers, making them think it was just a cultural thing, but they were actually practicing for combat. So, the music and dance were a disguise. Capoeira is rooted in real combat, it was their way to defend themselves and resist. Today, though, the dance aspect, the "ginga", represents the artistic side of martial art and isn't intended for use in an actual fight.

[@jamesconnor7417]

Just an FYI that the Red Symbol one you mentioned is Kyokushin. Innocently putting that in lower tiers may break the internet! Good rankings though mate!

I feel like low kicks are over emphasized with muay thai. People seem to forget that muay thai uses elbows too... Most street brawls I have seen start with two people up close, nose to nose almost. Very well in range of an elbow.

[@nathearn]

That is true👍

[@chickenchip3638]

@@nathearn what tier would you place kyokushin

[@unnwas]

As always, people judge Capoeira without really knowing anything about it. The spinning around thing is the equivalent of a demonstration, sometimes used by more experienced students to help others learn more complex movements, it's a little game from the more cultural aspect of the art. When you fight, you aren't dancing like that, you don't even necessarily need the ginga, there are punchs, grabs, elbows, knees, etc. It's basically MMA with slightly different footwork and more spinning kicks.

[@Virdye01]

The only downside for Capoeira is slow spinning kicks :(

Nice💪maybe I’ll do some research and make a video on it

[@tombailey837]

@@nathearn I'd definitely recommend it. Bruce has such a rich tapestry of knowledge and personal philosophy of martial arts and life in general. Given his strong history of studying different styles like Boxing, Karate, Wing Chung, Tai Chi, taekwondo, etc, and how he helped popularise many of them in the west, it makes sense that many martial artists and professional fighters regard him as a strong influence and 'the godfather of MMA', as he layed the groundwork for the idea for Martial artists to branch out and learn different techniques to improve their game as well as themselves. Even the likes of Sugar Ray Leonard and Manny Pacquiao were inspired by him, including how they learned to perfect their jab and maintain rhythm and speed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKu0iIx-fdapf9ksi=RvQsMmtYihQD2RNk

[@thealrightchef2800]

Muay Thai has clinch, dumps, sweeps, elbows and knees and generally fights can get up close which I would say gives it a leg up to kickboxers and boxers.

[@Drqgn]

I do Muay Thai. I agree that it probably has a leg up against kickboxing just based on the fact that we traditionally use less flashy kicks and have more weapons-- but, and I know this is corny, I think it's entirely based on skill rather than style. However, I don't agree at all that it's above boxing. Muay Thai/Kickboxing's stances are both designed around the idea that we'll be needing to check kicks and deal with elbows/knees. In a street fight, mfers are just gonna be swinging, because of that, boxing's stance, footwork and head movement become much more valuable-- ESPECIALLY so when we consider multiple opponents. I don't really think it matters too much in a 1 on 1 scenario tho, at the end of the day, a good fighter's gonna dog a dude who's never thrown a punch before any day of the week.

[@thealrightchef2800]

@@Drqgn yeah I agree wit u I train Muay Thai as well. I feel like the quicker you can end a fight the better in the street, one good shot could get a knockout and you probally not gon have enough time to set up a kick, but if the fight is close range, depending on the setting and the opponent I still think elbows knees and clinch is useful to stop a fight. A well timed groin kick during some kinda punch combo would still be useful. And I agree with the footwork part and head movement since defense is a major thing in a street fight.

[@owainkanaway8345]

My issue with Muay Thai in the US is that they don't really teach defense, it's all about conditioning. Obviously if someone goes to the gym daily and they are serious about their Muay Thai training, they eventually grow to a decent fighter, but for the casual? I don't recommend Muay Thai for the casual, because Muay Thai is a 100% combo sport which is different from self defense. Some of their training methods I also question, they often drill random combos, sometimes with defense drilled in. Other kickboxing styles like Savate and Dutch-kickboxing, they drill the same combo over and over again until you get it down. For self-defense the other kickboxing styles like Savate, Sanda, and Dutch Kickboxing are better. Also I think a legit Karate Dojo is better for self-defense than Muay Thai. In Savate they teach you how and when to strike an approaching opponent, they teach that in Dutch kickboxing as well, they don't teach that in Muay Thai.

[@timothysmith1631]

That's where I disagree. Karate is bullshit. Muay thai is way better for self defense

[@owainkanaway8345]

@timothysmith1631 Well it depends on the dojo and the style. I think Kyokushin, Uechi-Ryu and Goju-Ryu are really good, and there are dozens of other ones that are good for self-defense. Ashihara kaikan an off-shoot of Kyokushin will make you a good fighter, and Kudo as well. But I also agree your typical Karate gym in the US is not better than Muay Thai for self-defense, but there is also a lot of good gyms, so you have do your research and find them.

As a boxer I agree. But there's a couple weaknesses you can't ignore: 1) if there are more than one opponent you are pretty much fucked. 2) maybe you block your enemy on the ground, but probably you don't want to brake his arm or something (even bc after this you risk to be the bad guy). So you tell him to go away or you have to hurt him. He agree, but he change his mind and attack again. Now you have to do another lock and maybe hurt him, at your own risk.

Why would Sanda go below Muay Thai? He said it's like karate but it's very similar style to Muay Thai

@iaindonald7302 Sanda is more like Kick Boxing but a Chinese kung fu version. They spar full contact with punches, kicks, knees and throws, yet they have elbows only at professional level, they dont have them in amateur level and beginning. Plus its pretty hard to find a Sanda gym to train since its a brench of Kung Fu with sparring so lets say that there is 1 Sanda gym each 20 Kung Fu gyms (also depends where u live) but generally pretty hard to find. U can find a K1 gym or Muay Thai many times easier. Which for me also matters a lot.

[@AhmadZaydan195]

Sport Silat and traditional Silat are two different things. Sport silat (In the video )is aimed more towards getting points in competitions, that's why some of the techniquies are not allowed and the form is "solid". Because they care more about landing hits and getting points instead of K.O. Traditional silat is similar to kung fu(the real one), karate, and krav maga. It's geared towards doing actual damage and defeating your opponent as fast as possible, with or without weapons. It's also used in Indonesian military. Silat also slightly differs in Indonesia, malaysia, and Brunei.

You just need decent hands, whilst boxing is good - it's not good if you can close the distance or keep them away with push kicks, or get them with kicks. Let's be honest, in a streetfight there are no rules like MMA or others, so you're going to kick, grab, punch all rolled together. If you have some basic knowledge of push kicks, leg kicks, punching and a few throws most martial artists (especially those that compete) in a 1-on-1 situation is likely to be ok.

I agree with you on everything except for 2 points: 1. Taekwondo shoild be rated higher, since if a trained Taekwondo artist DOES have enough training to fight on the streets he will be unstoppable, since theyre generally fast and furious (no reference intended) during fights, which i did witness when i saw a Taekwondoka fight, but they do need enough training for that and they WILL have to come a long way for that, but in the end it WILL be extremely useful. 2. Aikido. Aikido is NOT great as a MAIN martial art BUT it is great as a SECONDARY martial art for example on when you can dodge the opponent's attack and if they have a weapon disarm them and then continue fighting with your main style, or if you don't know any submissions, you can fight your opponent to the point they become sloppy and weakened, then use an Aikido submission on them if you're not angry at them. It also works against people who don't really know how to fight and if someone dear to you started fighting and you want an easy way to stop them. So I'd give it a higher rank IF paired with some martial art which focuses on striking OR better grappling. Also seeing red is the best martial art EVER 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

No they don't use knees and elbows but some places do practice it

Not allow=not used

It lacks ground game and its wrestling is actually weak. They're great at taking dudes down mid strike, but not actually wrestling at all. Referees will break up holds.

Hey, Nat! I'm currently learning Shorin Ryu karate and I wanted to know what do you think about it. I don't think you ever mentioned it in a video and I rarely see anyone talk about it. It seems to be MMA type of karate, we got wrestling on the ground, elbows, kicks, knee strikes and pretty much everything (weapons too).

[@anti_hero_660]

As a black belt in tkd itf and blue belt bjj under Royce Gracie you greatly underestimate grappling arts

[@MosesLeadzy]

Nat, genuine question, how do I stop losing to my grandma in our spars? Every time we light spar I loose by knockout. Any tips? (Her name is Sheyanne)

Aren’t there different forms of karate that might be better for a self-defense purpose? For example, Kyokushin specifically being somewhere higher, but with Gojo-Ryu or Shotokan?

[@pingdopong]

Red symbol is Kyokushin bro 😭😭

[@yigit8019]

At least most effective even against weapons 😭😭😭 Plus systema is not an art its completely about self defense on any situations including weapons and you better be mix it with kali arnis then you will be a beast who is using weapons, can create weapons at anywhere, defending against weapons, basically russian goat system 😭this video is a bit cap

I know that now😂

Nice Rant, Especially about Aikido being in the lowest, I Just Can't Believe That My Dad Forces Me to Believe that Aikido Is Better Than Krav Maga, and Ninjutsu Is Literally Just Avoiding a Fight so I Might've placed It a Little Higher, And The Ninjutsu Moves shown In The Video are Highly Dependent On The Practitioner's Reflex and Speed So I might Agree On You Putting It On Not The Best

Karate is probably at Probably would work, you can use multiple techniques and all of them would 80% work :D

Ain't no way you put Ju-Jitsu next to BJJ

Don't watch a competition match to judge a martial art, it will be limited by the rules. You should watch a real fight or a tutorial to see the full potential.
