What do you think could be the most important self defense training?
Grappling/Wrestling/Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Boxing
maybe Muay Thai?
I've been in three fights my whole life, two in HS and once in College. I'm not bragging but all three ended on the ground with either me on top throwing punches or me Choking the guy out, literally unconscious.
Being that I have a wrestling background and I took karate from about 7 to 14 (it started more formal but morphed into self defense training) with some emphasis on brazilian jiu jitsu later on, I feel way more comfortable on the ground than I do standing toe to toe with somebody, especially if they're bigger ie. fatter.
I can handle myself pretty well on the ground by having good balance and technique and knowing how to shift weight.
I do know that if its a two on one or more, being on ground would be the last place I would want to go. We did some group sparring win karate, of coarse it wasnt truly "realistic" but getting on the ground always ended up badly.
If weapons are involved, bats, knifes, ect, I avoid. I may even run. Call me a ***** I don't care. I'm not taking a bat to the side of the head to prove anything. A kid I know was fighting and took a bat to the head and he's been brain damaged ever since. No thanks.
I know firearm training is important, but I think h2h would be just if not more important.
Any thought from some that have taken any good classes or what the real world is like? (not just hs and college bar fights)
