Ranking Martial Arts w/ MMA Fighter Jon Fitch | Tier List

[@FightfulOverbooked]

Let us know how you rank these martial arts! And don't thumb us down just cause Jon doesn't like your discipline. It only hurts our channel

[@OtomoTenzi]

What is your crass and brutally honest opinion, on the controversial mixture of Muay Thai + Peek-A-Boo + Judo combined? Would such a combination of combat styles be considered LETHAL???

[@FreebyrdFayelanx]

I like how this is still 100x more respectful and mostly open minded than most MA tier lists by low-level/non martial artists and your in the BUSINESS of fighting.

[@FightfulOverbooked]

That was exactly the idea. There are so many of these tier lists out there, but why not one by an actual high-level MMA fighter?

[@DanTheWolfman]

@@FightfulOverbooked Hey, what about a low level mma fighter?

[@lionedheart]

@@FightfulOverbooked Hapkido, Sanda, Japanese Ju Jitsu, and Jeet Kune Do are missing on the list. Can you make another one including them assuming the fighter is highly proficient in each style, thanks.

There is video of judo beating Muay Thai. And other striking arts

[@LoconStratos]

I’m a boxer but I’ve been so interested in Judo and feel like it would be a good way for striker who’s discipline doesn’t have that clinch game such as my own and Kickboxing, Savate. So I feel like I really want to practice Traditional Judo cause if I’m not mistaken they actually teach submissions, locks, and such.

[@gladiumcaeli]

Yes in judo you will also learn how to fight on the ground.

[@ht8138]

Usually you can find a cheap Judo Club if your in a decently sized City.

[@LoconStratos]

@@ht8138 lots of Judo Clubs in the closest city to me. I’m moving up there when my lease is up next year. I convinced my fiancé to try because, there’s a lot of great self defense techniques in Judo that would be great for self defense especially for women since it doesn’t exactly require overpowering. Until then I’ll stay fit and work hard on my main skill for now which is boxing.

[@lionedheart]

He did say they learn but they don’t focus on it as much as the throws etc.

Kung Fu has full contact sparing.....not sure how he does not know this. " I would not put my life on this"....they habe throat grabs, groin kicks, eye pokes...smgdh. Fitch is one of my favorites, but apparently he only thinks in rems of sport

Him- “If they don’t spar it’s not practical” Max Holloway- “Hold my beer”

[@boogeyman1016]

U think holloway's never sparred b4?

[@Yasharal110]

Max Holloway is an old battle tested Mixed Martial Artists. He does his "hard sparring" in the octagon to extend his fighting career and carry less injuries with him into a bout. Of course amateurs need to spar to know what works and what doesn't.

Great video, Most Wing Chun schools are eh, you need a good teacher who teaches sparring etc. supposedly there’s guys that can beat grapplers. Capoeira is an Afro Caribbean art hidden in dance. Great video and great advice

[@Kano-0492]

I did judo, ju jitsu, kickboxing, pancrase and Mma. In that order. Judo is the basic for each kid, just like wrestling. It helped a lot for the mma later on. Its funny that people that only did kickboxing wont last long in practice for Mma. We didnt see them after one lesson. I live in the Netherlands. Were there is almost no Sambo or Wrestling. I think kickboxing is at a high level over here.

I've always wanted to train in muay Thai and even got encouragement from my father to do so, but my mom wasn't having any of it (both my parents are Thai lol). Instead they enrolled me in wrestling (Greco Roman / freestyle / folkstyle) and taekwondo. It wasn't until high school until I started going to a boxing gym and that changed my mindset a lot in terms of watching and appreciating combat sports.

[@albertoviscencio7425]

which one do you think is more fun and efficient in a fight?

[@Dude24638]

Yeah, as a kick-boxer I’m going to try out wrestling just wondering what it’s like compared to boxing?

[@anuvongvatanadilok2333]

@@Dude24638 Im not a professional fighter, but if you're talking about a combination of martial arts, wrestling and boxing would be the perfect starting point for anyone getting into MMA. If you can master the fundamentals of hand to hand combat, the sky is the limit. Also to answer the question directly, wrestling is ground/grapple. Boxing is clinch/striking.

I never took Sambo but can admit that it is Hall of Fame along with Muay Thai and Wrestling. Any list that doesn’t put Sambo in the first tier will lose credibility as most current Dagestani/Russian UFC champs are from Combat Sambo background.

[@danilpankov8114]

I would swap judo and bjj. Because throw is a very powerful and dangerous weapon. Also judo guys are usually physically stronger.

[@danilpankov8114]

@@OtomoTenzi, how will you combine Peek-A-Boo and Muay Thai? Stances are very different. If you want to come close with Peek-A-Boo, the best clinch option is body lock. So you better choose Sambo or Greco than Judo.

[@gudea5207]

Depends on the level of Judoka. Many Judoka don’t truly learn kuzushi until they are a black belt and would thus not be able to perform any kind of koshi waza in the street without they’re back being taken. So a black belt in either might make your point valid but like a blue belt in bjj to an orange belt judo. I’ll take the bjj blue belt everytime.

[@icemitico]

Bjj guys would throw themselves with their black in the ground, and get kicked on the nuts. 😂😂

[@calvinwallis2634]

This is the only video on martial arts rating that didn’t slam tae kwon do I’ll definitely subscribe to that 👍🏻

[@wendyvic4046]

Right? And I see a trend where people say "Well, TKD is pretty good but they don't use hands...???". I will agree that Olympic style TKD doesn't use hands, it seems, but many TKD schools, especially OLD STYLE (not the Mcdojo ones) do use both hands and feet. After all, TKD means "the way of hands and feet". Have trained in some very good TKD schools, but have seen some that are just "belt factories". You can find schools in any of the arts that are just watered down.

[@redwood1133]

Please dont teach kids to headbutt. Ive damaged my frontal cortex. Broke boards and just random things w my forehead. Stop it please.

[@spectre9065]

Finally someone who knows what he's talking about. Taekwondo's "advanced kicks" may be useless, but if a muay thai or kickboxing roundhouse kick is highly effective, than a Taekwondo roundhouse kick to the ribcage is highly effective. Mechanically they are similar, only Muay Thai uses the shin and Taekwondo uses the ball of the foot.

[@PaulRamen]

I love that GSP is French for him

[@lilautistico1635]

Just don’t do Kung fu just do wing chun,jeet kun do,and shalion martial art bc those are the only people that have known to be able to fight like ip man,Bruce Lee,and any shalion fighter there are so many arts of kung fu but they are all pretty much useful except these 3 and when practiced right like adding sparing then I’m pretty sure you know how to fight

I always feel like if you're going for pure self defense you only need either Boxing/MT or MT/BJJ 3rd would be Kyokushin/Boxing

[@Kthomasritchie]

I'd rank Judo/wrestling/Sambo above BJJ. Throw someone down on the hard concrete and they ain't getting back up. A big advantage is you can remain on your feet rather than go to the ground. That with boxing/MT would be extremely effective.

I think the same argument you made for wrestling being goat status you can make for BJJ. If your opponent is within reach you can take them down. From there you can control them and tire them out, tie them up and ground and pound or where BJJ has an advantage is the submission game. Also if a BJJ practitioner gets taken down somehow, they are comfortable working off their backs, unlike wrestlers. I agree with most of the list but i would put BJJ up in goat status with MT and wrestling for the same reasons.
