When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Depends. Against multiple attackers I'd say muay thai would be the best. But in a 1v1 fight Gracie Jiu jitsu is superior (not the BJJ sport that it turned into)

Don't have heroes; look up to no one. Because as long as someone's leading the way, the best you'll ever be is second.

The combination/synthesis of wrestling and kickboxing. i.e., what you would learn at a good MMA school.

You have been brainwashed by american media to think boxing is superior to MT.



In reality, Muay Thai is peak celestial golden bull 10/10 supreme martial art.

In what context? Fitness? General self defense? Preparing for a cage fight?

I think Muay Thai is probably the best individual martial art there is. Especially if you've got lots of time to train, for a long period of time. Especially for self defense. You've got techniques for punches, elbows, knees, kicks, clinching and even some leg sweeps to take people down. Nothing else really compares. Throw in a bit of wrestling or BJJ and you're good to go.



Good luck finding a good/authentic school/coach though. So in that case you are best off studying boxing. Probably hands down the most practical thing for the 'average' guy to learn for self defense.

I work in LE and over my career I spent a lot of time working nights & working security in club districts. So tons of experience with combative subjects. I think BJJ is great. But if I'm arresting a combative subject I'd say a BJJ guy, even if he's skilled, would be the lowest risk type of guy to try to fight/apprehend. Obviously excluding BS martial arts that aren't effective.

Simply put most of their take downs aren't the best and are easy to handle if you've a background in Judo or Wrestling. Their hands suck. So chances of them landing a punch and knocking you out/rocking you is extremely low. And they are really only dangerous on the ground. A grounded subject is by far the easiest to deal with. Which is why cops typically bring people to the ground when they are combative. Its a great art for a fair 1v1 situation. Especially for self defense. It has some real weaknesses dark/crowded places though. Or when you have people not playing by the rules.

I've trained it because its useful for me. IE actively taking people down/controlling them. But for self defense the last place I want to end up is on the ground.


As far as actual Gracie JJ I'm not sure how it differs from whats taught now.

The Gracies are the ones who turned it into "BJJ"

Jiu jitsu itself is actually from Japan and is a lot deadlier than the modern gay nonsense popularized by the Gracies

Really? WTF have you done with your life? You cant even have a conversation without talking crazy and violent for no reason and you make no sense. You hopped up on the juice? Is that why you cant have a valid argument? I would seriously throw some chit on you and whatch you beg for mercy. Do you even know what white phosphorous is? You brits should know what it is very well if your not retarded.

Again you couldnt even touch me so get your head out of your ass.Ive been doing this a long time. Ive studied ninjutsu for over 20 years and know how to make poisons and powders. All the Muay Thai cant help you. Just cut it out. Your only lying to yourself and nobodody here cares. Even if you do some time, which you wont, man up and stop bitching.

Pretty funny how you say your gonna beat someone you dont know. If all you got is your lame brain and fat body you better bring more than that buddy.
