What martial art is best at developing the killer instinct required for self-defence? MMA? BJJ/ Thai? Or are all the "high-percentage" arts the same?
Muay Thai as far as sheer brutality. You have to have a killer instinct for that and BJJ as well. The killer instinct will develop as your skill increases; looking for openings and developing your timing to finish your opponent.
muay thai for sure.... but bjj?? id say wrestling requires more physical strength and aggression. bjj is more timing and technique. not that you dont need technique for wrestling as well
Killer instinct is a MIND SET. It is pure emotional aggression and ferocity, which is the last thing you want on the ground. You want to be relaxed.
Killer instinct is about explosiveness, and aggression. It's not something you can learn from any art. It's something you develop yourself through sparring.
Etymology: French coup de gr
Killer instinct is something you either have it or you don't.
