Ryan Hall: Best Martial Art for Self Defense

[SisyphusMyth]

"The best fighting style is using your brain."

 

[Big Nasty Edison]

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's ninjutsu.

 

[Balto]

What if you're really, really stupid?

 

[Spoonman7]

Any formal martial arts training can be very useful in a self defense situation. But I do agree with Ryan, being able to think is the most important thing.

 

[Balto]

How do you rep thinking? College? I don't have the money for that.

All my money I spend on $200/month BJJ tuition, $300 Shoyoroll gis, the latest $197 spammer DVD that will TOTALLY CHANGE MY GAME, and a bunch of random supplements from GNC.

I don't have the time or money to do this thinking stuff.

 

[Spoonman7]

You obviously thought about all those expenses before acquiring them. lol.

You don't need college. Just do math problems. 100 reps pen in right hand, 100 reps pen in left hand.

 

[Balto]

You don't need college. Just do math problems. 100 reps pen in right hand, 100 reps pen in left hand.

How about 200 reps pen in right hand, and then just not letting my opponent ever put the pen in my left hand?

You are wiser than I had first suspected, good sir. I can tell you will go far in this game.

He's a bit blinky in that interview.

 

[Turtlepawah]

Strange how he has not recieved any smack about claiming to be able to know Floyd out "under the right circumstances", considering how much Rousey has taken for saying the very same words.

his point was that there are soooo many variables in self-defense that anyone can win and anyone can lose. which is why he talked about being able to knock out floyd if he sucker punched him at a bar for example

most people will be able to knock someone out of their own size or even bigger if they get to sucker punch the other person.

 

[JohnSouth]

He made a lot of good points.

 

[Cash Bill 52]

We all know that the "fighting without fighting" is the best style. Brains and gut...

I think self defense and squaring up in a parking lot is not quite the same as self defense. Self defense for me is get up, get away, and get help. Technical stand up and grip breaking will probably save many.

 

[ozyabbas]

That's a lot of blinking.

He's always blinky. He has tourettes
